BlackBerry unveils all-touch Motion smartphone with IP67 rating

There’s a new BlackBerry device in town and this one is a product of the company’s licensing agreement with TCL. The all-touch BlackBerry Motion makes its appearance at GITEX 2017, an electronics trade show in Dubai. The Motion features a 5.5-in Full HD display, Android 7.1 (with Android 8.0 coming in 2018), 4GB of RAM, and the largest battery on a BlackBerry-branded handset at 4,000mAh. This sizable battery supports QuickCharge 3.0 support. But one of the more important features is that this is the first BlackBerry device with IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. It can be submerged in up to 3.3 feet for as long as 30 minutes.

We don’t have word yet what processor it uses but rumour has it that this is running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. The phone also comes with a fingerprint scanner on the home button in front and has a new Locker feature that will let you store documents and photos in an internal storage area and will need a PIN code or your fingerprint to access it. There are also four customizable Convenience Keys now including Home, Car, User, and Office. The device is coming to the UAE and Saudi Arabia this month with “select global markets” following. It’s priced at Dh1,699 in UAE, which is approximately CA$580.
