Running BlackBerry OS 10.3.1, this one's for a specific kind of buyer, someone who wants the BlackBerry software experience rather than Android or iOS. Under the hood sits a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait chip paired with 2GB RAM, enough for messaging, browsing and basic multitasking but not much beyond that. The 5.0-inch display runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, giving a pixel density of around 294 ppi, sharp enough for everyday reading and typing.

BlackBerry Leap price in Malaysia starts from RM559, and storage comes in at 16GB with microSD expansion up to 128GB if you need more room for files and photos. The 8MP rear camera with LED flash handles basic photography and 1080p video, while the 2MP front camera covers video calls. A 2800 mAh battery keeps things running, and connectivity includes LTE, Wi-Fi hotspot support and Bluetooth 4.0, so it's not lacking on the networking side even if the hardware itself feels dated now.

At 170g and 9.5mm thick, it's a solid, pocketable device built around function over flash, colours available are Black and White.
