The BlackBerry Leap has made its official entry: the new 'Berry features a 5-inch HD all touch display (there is no physical QWERTY keyboard in this phone) and brags about having a 25-hour battery life.

The BlackBerry Leap sports the fairly quaint Snapdragon S4 Plus system chip with 2GB of RAM and 16 gigs of internal storage. It's the battery life that the company touts as one of the hallmark features of the new phone, though, as it has a 2800 mAh battery pack. With all the sleek newly unveiled devices, though, the Leap strikes an impression of being quite thick with 9.5mm of thickness and a weight of 170g. There is both a rear and front-facing camera: the rear, main one, has an 8-megapixel sensor.

BlackBerry Leap features

The Leap runs on BlackBerry OS 10.3.1, which puts the focus squarely on BlackBerry's strongest feature: security. The phone also sports BlackBerry Hub, the Amazon Appstore, and you can install Android applications on it.

BlackBerry has also released a new video running through all the essential details around its new Leap: take a look at them right below.
