In an age where companies keep pushing the boundaries of privacy - face ID watching, apps spying - it feels good to know that your phone is securely locked down. It's like a slice of tranquility in an otherwise chaotic and uncertain world. That feeling is why I use Blackberry.
Just ordered this phone. Moving away from Samsung, going back to blackberry! Why is this video not the first thing that shows up when you search for a review? Great review man.
i had to switch to samsung from using Blackberry since 2005 because my priv broke and i needed a device that was water and dust resistant, but now this is out, looks like im going back...thanks god!
ger newfie Priv is good concept, but bit poor execution. Now with the keyone and motion, if blackberry continue following this path, and is planning on introduce Priv II, that would be an awesome device.
Hi Kevin, thank you very much for the review. I haven't seen the phone in my city yet. Well I am pretty much right handed. Can I move the back button to the right?
I just ordered the Motion, Kevin in your honest opinion is it better than the KEYᴼᴺᴱ? I have 2 KEYones but with my past hand injury it's hard for me to use the pkb.. The classic keyboard I'm great on but the KEYᴼᴺᴱ keys are to smushy
I really liked Blackberry back then and I got the Z10 when it came out. It had really bad battery life and friends laughed at the phone but I didn't care because It was way smooth and I could run RU-vid while the screen was off. I was getting the Z30 but then I heard rumors about the Z50 and really wanted a plus sized phone but was disappointed when they came out with the "leap" and 10.3 was the last update.
Will BB release a flagship based on the Motion? Bigger CPU better quality display etc? I m loving the design and everything but im concerned about it underperforming in 1-2 years time with that CPU
The cpu is most underrated part of the phone those high spec cpu can't even beat keyone in speed test, s8 is not faster than keyone plus the high cpu is only for high graphic game, it doesn't make the phone faster lol. The battery drains faster and the phone heats up...snap 625 is the best for battery and is fluid. The most important is ram and software update.
Checking out the specs of the Motion to the DTEK60, some features are better while others are not. Debating whether or not it's worth the hassle of changing phones. Also it's too bad BB isn't upgrading the DTEK60 from Android Marshmallow to Nougat. This may be a deal breaker when it comes to deciding whether to stay with BB devices.
Lovely device. Don't think I'd buy one though . I'm after that keyone after I got pipe bombed about blackberry not upgrading my priv to nougat . 750usd device stuck on mm. Thanks blackberry.
I move Apple to Bb bcz i heard it,s ever secured smartphonr. BB locker i locked my photo i was thinking that is secured now without any thirdparty app . but after installing galleryapp Piktures , F- stop gallery all locked photo showing in these app gallery !!!! is really secured BB ??
I posted this same post below on another review comparison, I have the motion and dont know why everyone knocks this phone!' This is what I like about it... - Secure and updated all the time, its a Blackberry not a Apple or Google! - Finger sensor in front! not like Pixel in back. I can once again place on table and open phone without picking it up! You can also program like the pixel to swipe down to bring notifications. - Cheaper!! Half Price as Pixel (but its not for games! not a gaming phone!, Really people, use Ipad or PC) - Battery Live, Pixel would die after a day, and at times feel like pocket warmer really hot and always reboot. - Blackberry, quick charge and when full your good for two days! - Nano Diamond "Dragon Tail" glass. I never get finger prints on this! Nothing sticks! - IP67 WaterProof. Not really needed but everyone does this now. - Fine tune OS. It has Blackberry DTEK and lots of other common widgets and shortcuts a few screens away. - Also back and free is BB HUB and bb software! Best way to get all communications and reply back to the as your sending from another email, best notification centre - Convince button can hold three shortcuts. I have my as Calendar, Hub and Google Now - Vibration!! Pixel would be in pocket and miss emails and notifications. On the Motion you hear it well and feel the phone shake! I know it sounds crazy but I need these alerts for work! - Keyboard is probably one of the best, even the phone dude who sold it to me who has a Apple X was really surprised and said the typing experience is better than his. Its really like the Z30 keyboard. - Storage, Pixel non, Motion - I popped in my 128 Gig 10 speed with no issues, not I can copy my song collection and movies for offline! - Creamy snappy Android 7.1.2 Nougat OS - Camera. Pixel wins but its mostly software. This camera works for me and storage space is amazing. Im sure someone can hack that new camera APK going around for better shots as it mostly software issues. - Dick pic locker is a cool feature I must say, need to clean out my locker! I enjoy this phone a lot! and I have used Apple 6,7, Samsung S6 and Goggle, This really feels like a solid phone. Here are the specs for everyone again! OS/Software: Android 7.1.2 Nougat Display: 5.5in, 1920x1080 IPS LCD @403ppi Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 625, Octa-core 2GHz GPU: Adreno 506 GPU RAM:4GB Storage: 32GB Expansion: microSD up to 2TB Rear Camera: 12MP (1.55 micron) f/2.0, phase-detection autofocus, dual-tone dual-LED flash, HDR, 4K video @30fps Front Camera: 8MP f/2.2, 1.12-micron pixels, Selfie flash, 1080p video @30fps Battery: 4000mAh non-removable, Quick Charge 3.0 Connectivity: USB Type-C, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, 5GHz, Bluetooth 4.2 LE, NFC, GPS, GLONASS Other: IP67 Water resistance, DTEK security suite, FIPS 140-2 Full Disk Encryption, Android For Work, Google Play for Work Dimensions: 155.7 mm x 75.4 mm x 8.13 mm Weight: 167g That's my rant! I know I going to hear some positive and negative so bring it on! I'm BatMan! :)
i am live in surat,gujarat,india. give me blackberry server center address. give me information blackberry motion launch date in india. how to purchase.
sadly when you talk about the software i am so disappointed to know that it is not about the android support for the upcoming years or more about using blackberrys own software. SOFTWARE OS, made what is BLACKBERRY
Why don't they pay the most famous app and slowly ppl will change..android OS is horrible. I have s7 and used all types of android, the os lags after couple of month..
using ANDROID OS in BB is not a BLACKBERRY it is just the SAME JUNK ANDROID who is always UPDATING NAMES with MINIMAL UPGRADES & more SMARTPHONE ANDROID DEVICES that are not SMART at ALL
i used to be a big bb fan. had the bold 9700, the 9790 (twice), the playbook and right now i own the classic since 3 years. but those new blackberrys (priv, keyone, motion) are just too big for me and now they even kicked the keyboard. so i say byebye bb - next phone will be an iphone or a sony xz1 compact.
I cannot understand Blackberry, why shall we pay 400€ for this device, if we can find for a half price the same specs on other devices?? It's around 150-200€ more expensive, even when is NOT a Blackberry, it's Chinese TCL. What's the point?
Eric He with Blackberry 10 yes, but security and android couldn't be on the same sentence hahahah. Productivity the same than other devices, but for 200€ more. All for you guys! I think my passport will be my last Blackberry, unfortunately.
Ewwwww!!!! You stuck your hand in the toilet!! Barf! I love the Locker feature! Now I can take more risque pix of my wife without worrying about people inadvertently perusing them.
When are we getting a Passport Android phone? I no Blackberry trying to get there corporate fans back but don't 4get us normal folks now! We need a Snapdragon 845 beast and a Passport would be perfect! #hellomcfly
Boss just give 1 chance to design the smartphone ...1 bet blackberry beat the iphone ... why guys you are compromising with the performence ? 625 processor .. seriously ? .. i love blackberry ..but you are doing all wrong
