Abhin’s love for all things tech started when he got his first smartphone, Galaxy S (the first), in 2010. Since then, he has been crazy about technology and tried out all major Android flagships from Samsung, and HTC. He currently uses a Google Pixel 4a as his daily driver.

First of all, let’s get this out of the way: BlackBerry Motion is official with a 5.5-inch FullHD display, 4GB RAM, and a Snapdragon processor (not revealed yet, likely the Snapdragon 625 chipset). The main highlight of the device, however, is the addition of a 4000 mAh battery with QuickCharge 3.0 support. Although the Motion may not stack up well against the Galaxy S8 or the LG G6, it’s a pretty decent phone for the budget price bracket. Speaking of, the device costs $460, though we are not even sure you’ll ever get to hold one of them in your…
