What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

The Street | Gary Krakow

We found Leap to be worthy of the BlackBerry name. It's fast, easy to master and is unequaled in its ability to deliver messages in one location. The system does exactly what it sets out to do. Overall, the Leap is a very good smartphone and a terrific business tool.

The Mobile Indian | Anil Satapathy

...the BlackBerry Leap as a package is quite complete. Especially, from design point of view, it feels superb while giving satisfactory performance in others.

Recombu | Alex Todd

On paper the BlackBerry Leap appears to be a little unimaginative from a design perspective, conservative from a hardware perspective and out of touch with regards to its software, but pair all these off-kilter elements together and miraculously they make a respectable, solid smartphone overall.

Digital Trends | Ted Kritsonis

The newest all-touch BlackBerry maintains the status quo... The Leap is more of the same from BlackBerry, but it offers an entry point for users seeking a tool rather than a toy at a price they can afford.

PC Pro | Jonathan Bray

There are plenty of people for whom the BlackBerry Leap would perform a perfectly good job. It does messaging very well, battery life under light use is exceptional, and general performance is adequate. However, the Leap's problem is that the Android-based competition is even cheaper, a touch more capable, and a lot more flexible, thanks to Google Play and its greater choice of apps.

Engadget | Jamie Rigg

Viewed in isolation, the BlackBerry Leap isn't a terrible device; there's just nothing particularly exciting about it. The design is unimaginative, largely borrowed from the lesser-known BlackBerry Z3, and its size can make it cumbersome to use at times. And, for every positive note, there's always a "but."

Gadgets Now | Anupam Saxena

...this phone targets professionals and enterprises that want a touch screen device with the security and power communication features of a BlackBerry... If you're a BlackBerry fan, we're sure you would be using one of the BlackBerry 10 devices. It makes no sense to upgrade to the Leap, in that case... In case your company is offering it as an upgrade over a legacy BlackBerry device, go for it.

NDTV Gadgets | Jamshed Avari

You would really have to be committed to the BlackBerry platform in order to justify a purchase, and BlackBerry's biggest challenge will be to convince people to give it a try.

Mobile Syrup | Daniel Bader

Ultimately, there's nothing that really separates the Leap from its predecessors. It's got a better screen and much-improved battery life, but few Z10 owners are going to see this as an upgrade. Instead, it's meant for a new generation of BlackBerry users, many of whom will likely be assigned the phone from their IT administrator, comfortable in the reality that it may just be the perfect second smartphone.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
