1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:05,549
we are all the way in New York I can't

2
00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:12,030
believe I'm here again this is my third trip here this month doing an unboxing

3
00:00:08,130 --> 00:00:14,639
that nobody asked for of a product that

4
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:21,810
as far as I'm aware nobody asked for this is the BlackBerry motion the latest

5
00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:29,429
in the lineup of BlackBerry smartphones produced under license by TCL so on the

6
00:00:26,789 --> 00:00:35,300
surface this appears to be pretty much I like this table got like a look at that

7
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:40,440
it's like authoritative BAM so on the surface this thing doesn't

8
00:00:38,910 --> 00:00:47,340
appear to be really much of anything special it's got a Snapdragon what would

9
00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:49,890
what is it a 625 processor it's got four

10
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:57,120
gigs of RAM let's fire this baby up it's got 32 gigabytes or if you're more of

11
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,340
the French persuasion 32 gig of octets

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:06,330
so you got that going for you Android 7.1 nougats a 5.5 inch full HD display

13
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,790
with a premium nano diamond coated

14
00:01:06,330 --> 00:01:12,150
display you got a sim removal tool and a booklet

15
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,259
see look I don't save myself the trouble of unboxing it they've got a picture

16
00:01:13,470 --> 00:01:19,590
cool you got a quick charger it's got a four thousand milliamp hour battery

17
00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:23,369
which is a first for blackberry and actually pretty unusual in general you

18
00:01:21,689 --> 00:01:28,979
got a Type C charging cable it does of course charge with type C and it's a

19
00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:32,970
little replace why does blackberry still

20
00:01:28,979 --> 00:01:35,310
need to exist in the modern age as a

21
00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:41,130
Canadian I guess there's like kind of a sentimental attachment to the brand that

22
00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:43,829
probably most people wouldn't share but

23
00:01:41,130 --> 00:01:48,509
as it is like even with the sentimentality you still have to find a

24
00:01:46,110 --> 00:01:53,399
way to differentiate yourself so let's have a look at this phone then so on the

25
00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:57,360
back they've got kind of a textured kind of rubberized grip ii thing going on

26
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,430
with of course that iconic blackberry logo they've got an 8 megapixel rear

27
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:06,290
shooter that I have to confess this

28
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:13,810
unboxing is a lie I did leave this on it but as you can

29
00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:16,090
plainly see if I flip this around

30
00:02:13,810 --> 00:02:20,800
I have definitely already been using this phone it definitely has a bunch my

31
00:02:18,490 --> 00:02:24,459
apps on it so the camera could be best described as pretty mediocre though it

32
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:27,160
does shoot 4k video if you care about that sort of thing the shape of the

33
00:02:26,170 --> 00:02:34,270
phone is going to be a little bit polarizing so it's got kind of these these harder corners up at the top and

34
00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:39,580
this this asymmetric kind of rounded thing down here at the bottom but

35
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:41,890
personally actually the thing it reminds

36
00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:46,989
me of most so far is actually the razor phone which I've been using as my daily

37
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,570
driver lately so they're very similar in

38
00:02:46,989 --> 00:02:52,600
the sense that they're these kind of blocky phones of course the razor phone

39
00:02:51,010 --> 00:02:58,930
is more expensive and has a couple of advantages it's got a 120 Hertz display

40
00:02:54,519 --> 00:03:01,150
it's got a 1440p display it's got better

41
00:02:58,930 --> 00:03:05,290
speakers so this one is just relying on a bottom speaker right here but it is

42
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:08,890
quite a bit more expensive but I do prefer their rounded approach to the

43
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:14,200
bottom because then when you're using it you don't have it kind of digging into

44
00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:16,959
you like that it's still got hardware buttons which is interesting so if

45
00:03:15,790 --> 00:03:23,230
you're someone who was looking for something that still has hardware buttons I mean to be clear there's

46
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:28,030
nothing that I really dislike about it it just doesn't stand out as anything

47
00:03:25,810 --> 00:03:32,970
special so volume rockers on the right lock buttons on the right a

48
00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:35,380
reconfigurable button for bixby ah

49
00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:38,829
I'm just kidding it's not for Bixby you can change it to whatever you want is

50
00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:42,970
also right below that then on the bottom you've got your hardware buttons as well

51
00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:47,470
as a fingerprint enabled touch home button with the BlackBerry logo on it

52
00:03:45,579 --> 00:03:52,049
does have a headphone jack type-c and the speaker that I mentioned before so

53
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:56,350
the last thing that's kind of cool and this one actually is pretty neat is when

54
00:03:54,459 --> 00:04:01,780
you've got the camera open you can either capture like this or you can tap

55
00:03:58,690 --> 00:04:03,820
this button and what it does is it'll

56
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:09,280
automatically save that picture into your locker so if you're like you know

57
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:14,590
heading over to the bathroom or whatever and you're like you know what my wife

58
00:04:11,709 --> 00:04:20,079
really needs to see a picture of you know the goods right now you can take

59
00:04:17,169 --> 00:04:23,940
that picture with the BlackBerry button and then hopefully you have a super

60
00:04:22,450 --> 00:04:29,750
secure messaging locations that you use

61
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:32,060
blackberry messenger and you can snap

62
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:35,660
that dick pic and send it back home for others to enjoy so that's a feature that

63
00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:40,370
I could see some people definitely getting into the last thing is that this

64
00:04:38,210 --> 00:04:45,310
is another first for blackberry is that finally they have caught up to the year

65
00:04:42,530 --> 00:04:45,310
2017

66
00:04:45,940 --> 00:04:53,530
let's see if this works and they have a

67
00:04:50,260 --> 00:04:56,330
water-resistant phone so it's ip67

68
00:04:53,530 --> 00:05:01,520
waterproof capacitive screens they do not like that they do not like that

69
00:04:59,030 --> 00:05:06,830
water I guess honestly there's not really much else to say about it overall

70
00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:08,660
in use I actually kind of liked it it's

71
00:05:06,830 --> 00:05:14,240
cheaper than most other flagship smartphones so it's not available in the

72
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:16,220
US sorry guys but it's available in the

73
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,840
UK and Canada and it's about six hundred Canadian dollars so compared to a pixel

74
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,950
- it's about I think with the promo that's on right now about two hundred

75
00:05:21,980 --> 00:05:29,210
and fifty dollars cheaper so four thousand million power battery

76
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:33,440
serviceable camera like definitely a couple Jen's ago camera good enough

77
00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:37,880
specs like we're at the point now where if you're not playing a ton of games

78
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:45,050
honestly a Snapdragon 625 like a mid to your processor is just fine and a pretty

79
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:46,760
close to stock Android experience so is

80
00:05:45,050 --> 00:05:51,890
anyone asking for this does anyone need this I don't know it's like blackberry

81
00:05:50,090 --> 00:05:55,580
reached out offering to send a unit and I didn't even I didn't even promise to

82
00:05:53,870 --> 00:06:00,620
do a video I was just like yeah I don't know sure you can turn it over I'll like

83
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,960
try it out and it was a resounding ly

84
00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:05,200
okay phone so I figured you know what the hey let's do a video what do you

85
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:09,350

86
00:06:08,030 --> 00:06:13,310
