BlackBerry Takes a Leap of Faith With The New BlackBerry Leap!

Here is all you must know about the latest device named BlackBerry Leap by the professional mobile device manufacturers

BlackBerry Leap has arrived in the markets today in the mid to high range price tag. The new full touchscreen device by BlackBerry bears a ringing of the company’s efforts to regain popularity and re-instate their hold in the mobile market.



With tens of budget smartphones being introduced into the market on a daily basis, BlackBerry has received serious flak for not being able to hold the competition. The price of almost all BlackBerry devices have been felt to be above the average customers budget.

Even professionals showed greater preference to iOS in terms of security and ease of operation. In times as such, when the Chinese mobile manufacturers have managed to rule the smartphone market with their 4G devices, full HD displays and higher pixel cameras at lowest possible entry level prices, companies like BlackBerry have been wounded severely for not being able to keep up with the cheaper standards. At the same time they have also been incompetent in retaining the premium status of the BlackBerry 10 OS by offering BlackBerry Enterprise Services to other mobile platforms. With BlackBerry Enterprise Services 12 moving to the cloud, it should be even easier to deploy these services to medium and even small business. BlackBerry maintains that the mobile security chain is strongest if every component link is BlackBerry-protected. So while its services can be deployed across other phones, security level is highest if a BlackBerry phone is utilized, of course.
