BlackBerry Motion is official with mid-range specs, no physical keyboard

The BlackBerry Motion, which started appearing in leaks as the Krypton, is now official.

TCL and BlackBerry announced the phone at GITEX Technology Week in Dubai. It’s a lot like the KeyOne in terms of specifications, but the Motion doesn’t have a physical keyboard like its sibling. BlackBerry’s hardware manufacturer, TCL, is releasing the Motion for those who want a more traditional design.

 

Out with the old, in with the (somewhat) new. That should be the motto for the Motion’s design. There’s no full physical keyboard to be found. Instead, you get a full touchscreen, but neither TCL nor BlackBerry thought to slim down the bezels. The forehead and chin on the Motion are rather large. It is, however, a phone made aluminum with a carbon fiber back. So maybe the premium materials will make the large bezels and large branded home button irrelevant.

TCL also kept the Convenience Key on the right side of the phone to enable custom shortcuts.
