BlackBerry's Z3 Jakarta phone leaks, will target entry level

The first device to be released under the new CEO of the struggling smartphone manufacturer BlackBerry, John Chen, has been leaked.

It will be powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, Adreno 305 GPU, and 1.5GB of RAM. The above renders show a slick design that, coupled with a reported low $150 pricetag, reflect BB's new strategy of targeting emerging markets with low-priced smartphones.

Formerly bastions of BlackBerry's dominance, developing markets will be targeted by the Canadian smartphone maker as it struggles to regain its relevance as a top mobile device manufacturer.

The BlackBerry Z3, codenamed "Jakarta", will supposedly be announced at the MWC next week.
