Blackberry today announced the much awaited and the third Blackberry 10 smartphone, the Blackberry Q5 in India. Flaunting a youthful design, the new Q5 features a classic QWERTY keyboard and a 3.1” touchscreen with a swipe based UI. Powered by Dual core 1.2 GHz Processor, the phone comes with a 2 GB RAM, 8 GB internal storage and a 32 GB micro SD slot.
The Q5 is packed with 5 MP rear facing camera with LED flash and 5x digital zoom, while a 2MP front facing camera with 3x digital zoom.
