BlackBerry’s mid-range handset from last year is finally available for purchase in the United States officially. You could buy the BlackBerry Motion through unofficial online channels in the country previously, but the company confirmed last week that it will officially start selling this handset in the country. The unlocked BlackBerry Motion can now be purchased from a couple of major online retailers in the United States.
The unlocked BlackBerry Motion is now available for purchase from Amazon and Best Buy. All units come with a one-year U.S. warranty and are only compatible with GSM/LTE carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile. Sprint and Verizon users are out of luck.
It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 825 processor with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The handset also features a 12 megapixel rear and 8 megapixel front camera. Additional features include an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, a 4,000mAh battery, a 5.5 inch display, and Android 7.1 Nougat.
Interested customers can head over to Best Buy or Amazon starting today and purchase the unlocked BlackBerry Motion. It’s unlikely that any of the four major carriers will offer the handset directly to their customers.
The company has recently confirmed that at least two BlackBerry-branded handsets are due this year. Fans of the company’s handsets certainly have something to look forward to this year.
