Amazon app store is missing many popular apps found on Google Play
lack of apps and a lackluster camera keep
no keyboard
The phone appears to have a slightly wider aperture
the software is also where the phone quickly loses the plot
the lock screen would at times become unresponsive
even on a regular window is hard to miss
highlights are blown out in the top left corner
The camera was a bit unreliable with getting a focus lock
BB OS is very heavy on gesture usage
the phone does not support USB On The Go (OTG)
just seamlessly slide in your finger onto the screen from the edge of the device
lost or stolen it does feature the option to remotely locate or lock the device

Flip to Mute is turned off
the Passport has Passport only issues with Android apps

uneven backlight distribution
There is very little traditional BlackBerry DNA in the Leap's design

BlackBerry Leap review

Anupam Saxena, TOI Tech BlackBerry is back with the Leap, a mid-range, full-touch smartphone which improves on the company's cheapest touch smartphone, Z3. It adds a better display, improved camera, faster processor and bigger battery to the mix, but the form factor and design do not get a makeover. At Rs 21,490, is the phone really that big a leap?

This Leap falls short

The BlackBerry Leap tries to appeal to younger businesspeople by forgoing a keyboard, but it lacks the app developer support it needs to stand out as a smartphone.
