The BlackBerry Leap smartphone is a plain workhorse with BlackBerry's productivity and security pedigree
The Amazon app store is missing many popular apps found on Google Play, or Apple's iOS app store
The BlackBerry Leap ditches a physical keyboard to lure folks looking for a modern smartphone experience, but a lack of apps and a lackluster camera keep this device behind the competition...

Having said all that, there are plenty of people for whom the BlackBerry Leap would perform a perfectly good job. It does messaging very well, battery life under light use is exceptional, and general performance is adequate. The display is exceptionally b...
Robust and wellfinished, Bright screen with good contrast, BB10 interface is intuitive, Battery provides more than a day and a half of sustained use
Processor and graphics chip are pretty outdated, Unnatural colours, Cameras need improving, Screen occupies only 66% of the facade
The Blackberry Leap hasn't really leapt very far. At least, not forwards. Admittedly, it isn't trying to attract anyone other than professionals, and, in this respect, it does what you'd expect, i.e. offers a secure interface (BB10) and good battery life...
Screen is surprisingly vibrant, Hub and keyboard still shine, Battery life is excellent, Expandable memory via microSD card slot
Processor is really old, Android apps are sluggish, Camera struggles in low-light and nighttime
Were this an Android phone, it could be written off as an affordable handset that any budget-conscious user could make do with to stay connected. That doesn't fly here, simply because this is a BlackBerry, a platform fewer and fewer people are using nowa...
BlackBerry's latest device is a disappointment in virtually every way. The native apps that used to be a strong point are now outdated and outclassed, its battery life is far worse than claimed, and it's unattractive to the eye. Far from being the silver...

Where the BlackBerry Leap does start to look very attractive is as a fleet phone. For comparison, Microsoft's Lumia 735 retails at £150 now, and its new biz-focussed Lumia 640 XL (a fine, 5.7-inch display slab) will go on sale for around £220. Take the Le...
Abstract: The BlackBerry Leap follows on in the style of the BlackBerry Passport but with a more affordable pricing that is on a par with the BlackBerry Classic, which is its sister phone with a physical keyboard.Read my BlackBerry Classic reviewThe large 5” HD dis...
Has 2GB of RAM, Great design, Impressive battery life, It's affordable
The aged processor
The BlackBerry Leap is affordable, but not cheap. It looks expensive and sports a smart design and good battery life, but the processor is an oddity. Overall, it's a solid, rather impressive piece of kit....

Abstract: We knew that BlackBerry was going to use Mobile World Congress to talk about future devices and it announced the Leap, alongside a tease of a whacky slider handset, with double curved display. The Leap sits in the same sort of space as the BlackBerry Z30...
Improved OS, Surprising cameras, Decent battery life
Middling design, Average screen, No NFC
We've reached the final leg of the Leap's review with an air of surprise surrounding us. On paper the BlackBerry Leap appears to be a little unimaginative from a design perspective, conservative from a hardware perspective and out of touch with regards to...
