Blackberry Motion Leaked : The All-Touch Powerhouse
Often when a company is not performing well in pushing out quality products, selling the licensing rights of the brand name to another company does the trick. The Nokia brand name being acquired by HMD Global is a massive example. Since TCL acquired licensing rights to the BlackBerry brand name, the company has been pumping out phone after phone. Huge popularity of the DTEK phones can't be bragged, but the licensing program sure did work. Although lack of software support of the Blackberry Priv was a huge disappointment among customers, the rest were fairly decent devices.
TCL was previously reported to be working on an all-touchscreen Blackberry Android smartphone. This got a huge welcome from fans as touch devices are really the future, and let's be honest... it is 2017 and a physical keyboard looks like old hardware. Near to life haptic feedback can be achieved with virtual keyboards. Having an Android device with a screen that has been compensated for a physical keyboard, that might be a thing of the past with the new Motion.
Now the Motion, previously code-named Krypton, has been leaked. Can't say the render looks gorgeous and is every Blackberry fanboy's wet dream!
TCL has been teasing the device-in-development for quite sometime. A mysterious Blackberry device caught everyone's eye when it was passed through the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. Another photo of an unreleased smartphone was teased on the BBM Channels that was anticipated as the upcoming Krypton.
Back in August, François Mahieu had said that the Krypton might be same in line as of the KeyONE, primarily targeted at business individuals. But the mid-range SoC has spurred up rumors and Evan Blass has stated in his tweet that the device might not be a flagship at all. We better not draw any conclusions from this as TCL's smartphone was said to unveil this month. Let's wait and see how the rumors sum up (*ahem* iPhone).
We hope you enjoyed reading the article. We apologize being off the grid for a while. Things always do not play out as planned and setbacks are inevitable. But we are back and we are here to keep you updated as before. Stay tuned. Have a great day.

"Two months from now, we will have a touchscreen solution to show," François Mahieu, head of global sales for TCL, said in a briefing at the IFA tech conference in Berlin. "We should not be blind to the demand that's out there".
The IFA tech conference was held in August. Sine it is October, we can pretty much expect the phone to be around anytime soon. As of now, Evan Blass has put up a render on Twitter showing what the new all-touch Blackberry Motion might look like.

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) October 5, 2017The Blackberry Motion was quoted by François Mahieu to be IP67 water resistant and water proof, stuff which is present in most high end flagships today. The phone is reported to ship with Snapdragon 625/626 chipset, 4 gigabytes of RAM, and a capable 4000 mAh battery. The display will be a 1080p IPS panel. The Blackberry branded home button from Evan's leak will probably host the fingerprint reader.
