Blackberry Q5 in India

After a huge defeat of BlackBerry by other competitors in India , BlackBerry is trying to emerge out from this difficulty by introducing its new phone named Q5 in India.


Canadian phone maker BlackBerry today launched the Q5 smartphone in India, bringing its latest handset in the country. This smartphone is aimed at emerging markets and has been priced at Rs 24,990. It is the third BB10-powered phone to be launched in India, after the exorbitantly priced Z10 and Q10 smartphones.

BlackBerry Q5 has 3.1-inch touchscreen with720x720p resolution, along with the Qwertykeyboard. It is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and packs 2GB RAM, 8GB internal storage. Storage can be expanded up to 32GBvia microSD card in this phone.

Connectivity features of BlackBerry Q5 are 2G, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0 and NFC. The phone has a 5MP camera with LED flash on the back and 2MP camera in front. This mid-range smartphone runs on a 2,180mAh battery.

BlackBerry has used plastic in making Q5, instead of premium material like cold-forged steel (which forms the body of Q10). It is available in the market in red, white and black colours and will hit the stores on July 20. Q5 holds the distinction being one of the only two smartphones with a Qwerty keyboard in its price range, the other being the two-year-old BlackBerry BoldTouch 9900.

Major rivals of BlackBerry Q5 in the Indian smartphone market include the likes of Google Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, Sony XperiaSP and Nokia Lumia 820.
