Do you ever find yourself wishing your BlackBerry smartphone ditched the standard keyboard? You’re in luck, the just-unveiled BlackBerry Motion has done just that. This innovative smartphone, a new offering from Hong Kong-based tech giant, TCL, has decided to go keyboard-free, unlike its predecessor, the BlackBerry KeyOne.
TCL, under a licensing agreement with the celebrated Canadian phone maker, BlackBerry, brings to you, the BlackBerry Motion, a full touchscreen smartphone ready to dazzle the tech arena.
Currently being showcased at the ongoing GITEX tech week in Dubai, the BlackBerry Motion is set to launch in the Middle East, followed by other regions. Priced at a moderate $460, the tech enthusiasts are already chomping at the bit to experience the state-of-the-art specifications this smartphone boasts of.
The BlackBerry Motion, previously rumored and known as ‘Krypton’, has quickly become a reality much to the delight of tech buffs. Initially leaked by Evans Blass on Twitter, the device now stands as a tangible marvel in the world of technology.
As a mid-range device powered by the Android Nougat 7.1 operating system, one of the highlights of the BlackBerry Motion is its robust 4000mAh battery. This is an impressive feature that according to the company, offers the BlackBerry Motion an astounding 24-hour runtime without needing a charge. While the smartphone does not have a bezel-less display like most modern smartphones, it holds its own with an acceptable 16:9 ratio display aspect.
The BlackBerry Motion features a sleek 5.5-inch full HD LCD display and is infused with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chips processor for notable performance efficiency. With 4GB of RAM inbuilt and storage options hovering between 32GB and 64GB, you’re certain to enjoy seamless operations with ample storage capacity.
The smartphone does not falter in the camera department either, sporting a 12-megapixel rear camera with a f/2.0 aperture and an 8-megapixel front camera. The device is even IP67 water-resistant, fortifying the smartphone for durability and longevity. Additionally, the home button of the device functions as a fingerprint reader, providing a convenient and effective security measure for unlocking your phone.
For those in the Middle East, this keyboard-free BlackBerry gem is all set to redefine your smartphone experience. Embrace the BlackBerry Motion and relish the sheer joy of having a device that can go all day long on a single charge.
That being said, the kind of transformation BlackBerry has undergone can indeed feel a wee bit strange to some tech enthusiasts. BlackBerry smartphones, originally known for a reliable operating system and a trademark keyboard, now run on Google’s Android. However, this kind of integration, though initially unexpected, is testament to the ever-changing tech landscape and market demands.
While BlackBerry’s shift from its homegrown operating system to Android may seem like a leap of faith for some, it speaks to the company’s adaptability and readiness in striving for relevancy in a mobile realm dominated by tech behemoths like Google and Apple. Indeed, even major players like Microsoft have faced challenges in this space.
So if you’re ready for a BlackBerry experience sans keyboard, with a beefy battery and the modernity of an Android operating system, the BlackBerry Motion is here to impress.
