The BlackBerry Motion is a mid-range dual-SIM Android 7.1.1 Nougat smartphone. It sports a 5.5-inch HD (720×1280 pixels) display with DragonTrail Glass protection and a physical home button below the display. It is powered by a Snapdragon 625 SoC processor with 4GB of RAM.

The water-resistant BlackBerry Motion features a 12-megapixel rear camera with a f/2.0 aperture, dual-tone LED flash capability and ability to record videos in 4K at 30fps. There’s an 8-megapixel front facing camera with Selfie flash feature. There is also a fingerprint scanner on the front side.

The BlackBerry Motion also features a range of security suites that smartphones from the iconic Canadian company have grown known for. There’s DTEK security suite feature on the device, and it also features support for FIPS 140-2 Full Disk Encryption, Android For Work, and Google Play for Work features.

The phone was unveiled at Technology Week conference in Dubai over the weekend. According to Android Central, the BlackBerry Motion will be priced at about $460, and will be available first in Middle Eastern markets such as UAE and Saudi Arabia.
