The BlackBerry Q5 is a mid-range touchscreen-based QWERTY smartphone developed by BlackBerry, previously known as RIM (Research In Motion). It is the third BlackBerry 10 smartphone, unveiled at the BlackBerry Live 2013 Keynote on May 14, 2013.
Replacing the BlackBerry Curve line, the Q5 serves as the budget counterpart of the more upmarket BlackBerry Q10/Z10 and is mainly targeted largely at emerging markets because of its lower end specifications. Like the previous entry-level BlackBerry devices, it is also available in multiple color options; black, white, red, pink and grey.
