As part of its efforts to regain lost ground, Canadian handset maker BlackBerry is set to launch its latest smartphone, Z3, in India next week. This smartphone is likely to be priced below Rs 12,000 to take head on the likes of Samsung, Motorola, HTC, Microsoft Devices and Micromax.

Launched in Indonesia earlier this year, the full touchscreen device was priced at IDR 2,199,000 ($190 or Rs 11,500) and is the most affordable device powered by the latest BlackBerry 10 operating system.

According to the invite sent by the firm, BlackBerry will unveil the "next generation BlackBerry 10 devices" on June 25.
