WEBVTT

00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:05.549
we are all the way in New York I can't

00:00:03.510 --> 00:00:12.030
believe I'm here again this is my third trip here this month doing an unboxing

00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:14.639
that nobody asked for of a product that

00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:21.810
as far as I'm aware nobody asked for this is the BlackBerry motion the latest

00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:29.429
in the lineup of BlackBerry smartphones produced under license by TCL so on the

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

00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:40.440
it's like authoritative BAM so on the surface this thing doesn't

00:00:38.910 --> 00:00:47.340
appear to be really much of anything special it's got a Snapdragon what would

00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:49.890
what is it a 625 processor it's got four

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

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.340
the French persuasion 32 gig of octets

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

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.790
with a premium nano diamond coated

00:01:06.330 --> 00:01:12.150
display you got a sim removal tool and a booklet

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

00:01:13.470 --> 00:01:19.590
cool you got a quick charger it's got a four thousand milliamp hour battery

00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:23.369
which is a first for blackberry and actually pretty unusual in general you

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

00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:32.970
little replace why does blackberry still

00:01:28.979 --> 00:01:35.310
need to exist in the modern age as a

00:01:32.970 --> 00:01:41.130
Canadian I guess there's like kind of a sentimental attachment to the brand that

00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:43.829
probably most people wouldn't share but

00:01:41.130 --> 00:01:48.509
as it is like even with the sentimentality you still have to find a

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

00:01:50.670 --> 00:01:57.360
back they've got kind of a textured kind of rubberized grip ii thing going on

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:01.430
with of course that iconic blackberry logo they've got an 8 megapixel rear

00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:06.290
shooter that I have to confess this

00:02:03.950 --> 00:02:13.810
unboxing is a lie I did leave this on it but as you can

00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:16.090
plainly see if I flip this around

00:02:13.810 --> 00:02:20.800
I have definitely already been using this phone it definitely has a bunch my

00:02:18.490 --> 00:02:24.459
apps on it so the camera could be best described as pretty mediocre though it

00:02:22.630 --> 00:02:27.160
does shoot 4k video if you care about that sort of thing the shape of the

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

00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:39.580
this this asymmetric kind of rounded thing down here at the bottom but

00:02:36.220 --> 00:02:41.890
personally actually the thing it reminds

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

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.570
driver lately so they're very similar in

00:02:46.989 --> 00:02:52.600
the sense that they're these kind of blocky phones of course the razor phone

00:02:51.010 --> 00:02:58.930
is more expensive and has a couple of advantages it's got a 120 Hertz display

00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:01.150
it's got a 1440p display it's got better

00:02:58.930 --> 00:03:05.290
speakers so this one is just relying on a bottom speaker right here but it is

00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:08.890
quite a bit more expensive but I do prefer their rounded approach to the

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

00:03:11.290 --> 00:03:16.959
you like that it's still got hardware buttons which is interesting so if

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

00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:28.030
nothing that I really dislike about it it just doesn't stand out as anything

00:03:25.810 --> 00:03:32.970
special so volume rockers on the right lock buttons on the right a

00:03:29.790 --> 00:03:35.380
reconfigurable button for bixby ah

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

00:03:36.940 --> 00:03:42.970
also right below that then on the bottom you've got your hardware buttons as well

00:03:40.540 --> 00:03:47.470
as a fingerprint enabled touch home button with the BlackBerry logo on it

00:03:45.579 --> 00:03:52.049
does have a headphone jack type-c and the speaker that I mentioned before so

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

00:03:54.459 --> 00:04:01.780
you've got the camera open you can either capture like this or you can tap

00:03:58.690 --> 00:04:03.820
this button and what it does is it'll

00:04:01.780 --> 00:04:09.280
automatically save that picture into your locker so if you're like you know

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:14.590
heading over to the bathroom or whatever and you're like you know what my wife

00:04:11.709 --> 00:04:20.079
really needs to see a picture of you know the goods right now you can take

00:04:17.169 --> 00:04:23.940
that picture with the BlackBerry button and then hopefully you have a super

00:04:22.450 --> 00:04:29.750
secure messaging locations that you use

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:32.060
blackberry messenger and you can snap

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

00:04:34.430 --> 00:04:40.370
I could see some people definitely getting into the last thing is that this

00:04:38.210 --> 00:04:45.310
is another first for blackberry is that finally they have caught up to the year

00:04:42.530 --> 00:04:45.310
2017

00:04:45.940 --> 00:04:53.530
let's see if this works and they have a

00:04:50.260 --> 00:04:56.330
water-resistant phone so it's ip67

00:04:53.530 --> 00:05:01.520
waterproof capacitive screens they do not like that they do not like that

00:04:59.030 --> 00:05:06.830
water I guess honestly there's not really much else to say about it overall

00:05:03.530 --> 00:05:08.660
in use I actually kind of liked it it's

00:05:06.830 --> 00:05:14.240
cheaper than most other flagship smartphones so it's not available in the

00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:16.220
US sorry guys but it's available in the

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:20.840
UK and Canada and it's about six hundred Canadian dollars so compared to a pixel

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.950
- it's about I think with the promo that's on right now about two hundred

00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:29.210
and fifty dollars cheaper so four thousand million power battery

00:05:26.770 --> 00:05:33.440
serviceable camera like definitely a couple Jen's ago camera good enough

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

00:05:34.930 --> 00:05:45.050
honestly a Snapdragon 625 like a mid to your processor is just fine and a pretty

00:05:42.020 --> 00:05:46.760
close to stock Android experience so is

00:05:45.050 --> 00:05:51.890
anyone asking for this does anyone need this I don't know it's like blackberry

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

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

00:05:57.200 --> 00:06:02.960
try it out and it was a resounding ly

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

00:06:04.430 --> 00:06:09.350
guys think should they even still bother branding

00:06:08.030 --> 00:06:13.310
phones blackberry or should they just give up alright love to hear your
