Thanks to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and 4 GB ofRAM, the BlackBerry Motion should provide a satisfying user experience. Thehandset sports a 5.5-inch 1080p display, further offering features like afingerprint scanner, Locker Mode (for private photos and documents), acustomizable Smart Convenience Key, standard 3.5mm headset jack, and a USB Type-Cport. 

The BlackBerry Motion is launching with Android 7 Nougat outof the box, but it will be updated to Android 8 Oreo (however, this may not happenbefore the end of 2017). According to a recent report, the new smartphoneshould be released in the USvia Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T, though this remains to be confirmed.    

Once it lands in the US, the BlackBerry Motion could cost around $400. From what you're seeing thus far, do you think you'll want to buy this new Berry?
