As expected BlackBerry has launched its much awaited BlackBerry Q5 in India at a price point of Rs. 24,990.
The BlackBerry Q5 is the second hardware keyboard (QWERTY) equipped smartphone running the new BlackBerry 10.1 operating system. The smartphone was first showcased at the BlackBerry Live Conference, in May 2013.
On the specifications front, the Q5 bears a striking resemblance to the flagship Q10 with a 3.1-inch 720×720 pixel display sporting a pixel density of 328ppi, 2GB of RAM and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera capable of shooting 720p videos. Some features do get stripped down like a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor instead of a 1.5GHz processor, a 5-megapixel rear camera instead of 8-megapixels and 8GB of internal storage which can be further expanded by up to 32GB via microSD card.

BlackBerry has been criticised for pricing its smartphones on the higher side. However, the company is currently offering its Z10 and Q10 smartphones in India. The company recently started offering an exchange scheme to push the sales of the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone. Under this scheme, customers can avail a discount of up to Rs. 11,000 on purchase of a BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.
The BlackBerry Q5 will be available in India in red, black and white colour options. The Q5 has a physical keyboard, something that sets BlackBerry's devices apart from Apple's iPhone and most Android phones.
