Review: BlackBerry Motion

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

I like that the BlackBerry Motion is built for real world situations. It doesn't need to be babied, you can get by without case. This is such a refreshing departure from the current slew of ultra-expensive, super delicate glass flagship smartphones which cost over a thousand dollars to buy and hundreds of dollars to ensure and repair.

Scratch-proof and water resistant Blackberry Motion now available in Canada

Following in the footsteps of the well received BlackBerry KEYOne, the BlackBerry Motion is the latest device from BlackBerry Mobile under TCL. This device features a premium build, it has IP67 water and dust resistance, a scratch resistant screen that's tougher than Gorilla Glass 5, a 5.5-inch HD display plus an unprecedented 4000 mAh battery rated for 32 hours use between charges.

The BlackBerry Motion also features various unique privacy and security features not found on other smartphones. It is possible to take a photo using the fingerprint reader which is encrypted in the hardware of the phone and accessible only by fingerprint. A privacy shade feature limits what is visible on the display, which is ideal if you want to prevent snooping.

The BlackBerry Motion is available starting today online at Koodo and in select Bell, TELUS and SaskTel stores starting at $99 CAD on a two year term. For more information, please visit www.blackberrymobile.com/ca.

Thoughts on the BlackBerry KEYOne Black Edition

BlackBerry Motion coming to Canada

TCL is launching the BlackBerry Motion which is an Android-powered BlackBerry smartphone focusing on privacy, security, the flexibility of Android and the durability that BlackBerry devices are known for. Coming on November 10, BlackBerry Motion comes to Bell, TELUS, Koodo and SakTel

The BlackBerry Motion features a 5.5-inch HD display, a larger 4,000 mAh battery capable of up to 32+ hours of use as well as QuickCharge 3.0 which can bring the battery to 50 per cent capacity in 40 minutes. In terms of design the BlackBerry Motion feels overbuilt and designed for the rigours of daily life. It has extra scratch resistant glass as well as IP67 water and dust resistance, a first for any BlackBerry-branded smartphone. The BlackBerry Motion is designed to appeal to users who want the benefits and security afforded by BlackBerry but with the flexibility of a touchscreen Android device.
