BlackBerry Motion: A KEYone Without A Keyboard [Android Authority Review]

Gabe Pérez

18 Dec, 2017

Does a BlackBerry without a physical keyboard still feel like a BlackBerry or does it just turn into your average Android phone?

The BlackBerry Motion takes the DNA of the BlackBerry KEYone, adds a bigger battery, IP67 water and dust resistance, and loses the keyboard in favor of an all touchscreen design. It has all the right components to continue the momentum created by the KEYone but could potentially be held back by it's limited availability.

Watch the full BlackBerry Motion review by Android Authority.

Pros:

Industrial design
Metal build
IP67 protection
Expandable storage
Long lasting battery life
Stock-like Android experience with useful BlackBerry add-ons

Cons:

Camera performs poorly in low light
Limited availability.
