BlackBerry Rio was exclusively unveiled as a mid-range all-touch smartphone coming later this year.

The “Rio” moniker was purely the device’s codename. Now, OS files are pointing to the device getting branded as the “BlackBerry Leap.”

As a recap, the Rio/Leap specs will be the following:

  • 9.5 mm profile
  • 5” 1280 x 720 display
  • 2MP front facing, 8MP rear facing cameras
  • 2800 mAh non-removable battery
  • MSM 8960 Dual Core 1.5 GHz processor
  • 2 GB RAM, 16GB Flash + Micro SD
  • Penta Band LTE + 4G Hotspot
  • Wi-Fi 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n
  • BT 4.0 / DLNA / Miracast
  • Dual Microphone
  • Speaker phone

New images of the Rio/Leap have emerged too, which apparently shows the device now has a stainless steel band on the sides the device like the Passport.
