BlackBerry Ltd., a global leader in mobile communications, has announced the availability of BlackBerry Leap in white and shadow grey in Saudi Arabia.

Chris Corsi, regional director territory sales in the Middle East, said: “With an all-touch screen and a modern and powerful design, the BlackBerry Leap complements our portfolio of BlackBerry 10 devices, offering an affordable choice to consumers and companies. With BlackBerry Leap, we are addressing the needs of those who require a smart phone that safeguards sensitive communications while keeping them productive.”

The Leap features the latest BlackBerry 10.3.1 operating system, a brilliant edge-to-edge five-inch HD display and more than a full day’s battery power. Top features of the Leap include the highest standards of security to protect one’s privacy. It is equipped with support for encryption, plus built-in malware protection and back-up, wipe and restore, all meant to help secure data against any cyber attack.

With up to 25 hours of heavy use, the BlackBerry Leap with its 2800 mAh battery and optimization of power consumption gives users more than a full day of productive usage.

Its touchscreen keyboard types faster and more accurately. With superior error correction, multi-language support, customized adaption and flow, BlackBerry’s touchscreen keyboard helps to reduce the mistakes and missteps.

The Leap comes preloaded with the new BlackBerry 10.3.1 operating system, offering a fresh look that incorporates updated icons and an instant action bar so that users’ most commonly accessed functions are in the center of their screen.

“BlackBerry Blend brings messaging and content that is on your BlackBerry smart phone to your computer and tablet,” the company stated.

The BlackBerry Assistant is BlackBerry’s first digital assistant and can be used with voice and text commands to help users manage work and personal email, contacts, calendar and other native BlackBerry 10 applications.
