5/7/2015 10:35:37 PM
The BlackBerry Leap smartphone, which was announced at the company's MWC 2015 press conference in Barcelona, has been launched in India. While its price was not revealed, it will be available for purchase in the country starting next week. "The device will be an entry phone for these professionals who can then further subscribe to BlackBerry's other services," said BlackBerry India MD Sunil Lalvani. "It's not a low-cost device and is positioned in the mid-tier segment. We expect a good uptake of this device in the Indian market." The global roll-out of the handset began in the UK last month, following which it was also made available for purchase in the US, France, and...

Blackberry CEO comments on company's return to T-Mobile
5/7/2015 8:36:35 PM
Over an year after Blackberry announced that it will not renew the T-Mobile license to sell its products, the two companies are back together, with the Canadian company's Classic smartphone landing on the magenta carrier on May 13. Following the news, BlackBerry CEO John Chen wrote an editorial about the company's new partnership with T-Mobile, saying that it "is an important step that does the right thing for both of our customers and shareholders." While he said that the decision to part ways with T-Mobile was in the best interests of both companies at that time, he agreed that a lot has changed over the last year. "So, a year ago, I couldn't have imagined this. But if being at the helm of BlackBerry has taught me anything, it's that a lot can change in a year," he said. "And that two strong-willed executives who say what we think, as we lead companies that are successfully doing things differently, can meet on common ground, especially when there is so much potential benefit for our shared customers." He termed the new partnership as "an exciting one", although he confessed that "we may not always see eye-to-eye". He concluded by saying, "let's not forget what they say: the bigger the break-up, the better the...
ZTE is taking its Nubia brand to India starting with the Z9 Mini
5/7/2015 5:32:44 PM
ZTE's Nubia sub-brand has mostly been confined to China so far, but that's about to change. The company is now busy establishing an online presence for itself in India, which signifies that Nubia's entry into the subcontinent is very close. Recently Nubia has launched a few interesting smartphones, perhaps the most intriguing of all being the Z9 with its zero lateral bezels. This has only been official for a day or so, but apparently it's not the first handset that will launch in India. According to some unnamed sources, that honor will go to the Nubia Z9 Mini, a device which was unveiled alongside the Z9 Max. While that will probably be sold in India too, the Z9 Mini should be the first Nubia phone on that market. Pricing for the Nubia Z9 Mini in India is still a mystery, but keeping in mind that it costs CNY 1,499 in China ($241), it can't be much more expensive in the subcontinent when it does land. A price tag of around INR 16,000 seems plausible. The Nubia Z9 Mini has a 5-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 16 MP main camera with LED flash, an 8 MP selfie snapper, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, and a 2,900 mAh battery. It runs Android 5.0.2 Lollipop underneath ZTE's Nubia UI 2.8, and it's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615 SoC, which comes with an octa-core Cortex-A53...
