BlackBerry's New Motion Smartphone Will Reportedly Be Arriving This Month
Sans physical keyboard.
According to a recent Twitter post from mobile reporter Evan Blass, it looks as if BlackBerry has a brand new device currently in the works. Previously exploring its KeyOne smartphone back in May, the new prototype, which Blass referred to as “Motion,” looks to once again forego the brand’s character-defining physical keyboard. In addition, Blackberry affiliate TCL has confirmed to Engadget that its next device would be water-resistant.
Other noteworthy features include a logo-enhanced home button, 3.5mm headphone jack, a formidable security software system and an impressive 26-hour battery life. The rumored Blackberry Motion is said to be making its debut sometime later this month. Be sure to check back for details as they emerge.
