Blackberry Motion Arrives With No Keyboard And A Giant Battery by GlobalTechGist(m): 1:11pm On Oct 09, 2017
That didn't take long -- mere days after images emerged ,
BlackBerry has launched the Motion. As expected, it's
effectively a KEYone without the keyboard... and a couple
of extra perks. You're still looking at a mid-range device
with a Snapdragon 625 chip, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage
and a 12-megapixel rear camera, just with a 5.5-inch
1080p display taking up most of the front (there's still a
fingerprint reader). However, it's what you can't see that
makes the difference. The Motion is IP67 water-resistant,
and it packs a whopping 4,000mAh battery. Given the
middling processor, this likely translates to a phone that
can easily handle a full day off the charger.
The software will still seem familiar. The Motion is running
a customized take on Android 7.1 like its predecessor, and
you'll get the same security-focused apps intended to
make it business- and privacy-friendly.
Don't plan to snap one up right away. The Motion is only
shipping to a handful of Middle Eastern markets at first
(including Saudi Arabia and the UAE), with a price
equivalent to about $460. There's no mention of North
American releases so far, although we wouldn't rule them
out given the KEYone's availability at Sprint and Canadian
carriers.
Even so, the phone may face an uphill battle in North
America. The KEYone was considered expensive for the
feature set when new, but you could easily point to the
keyboard if you had to justify the price. You can't do that
with the Motion -- you can mention the battery and what
appears to be top-notch build quality, but there are other
touch-only phones in this price range (say, the OnePlus 5 )
that offer faster performance and additional tricks. This is
really for workers and those BlackBerry fans who remain
loyal, but not so loyal that they insist on physical keys.
