BlackBerry has been secretly working on a smartphone which was earlier codenamed Krypton. The smartphone will be allegedly named as BlackBerry Motion and will be launched sometime in October 2017. We now have the image of the smartphone giving us an idea of what it will look like, thanks to tipster Evan Blass. The biggest change with the upcoming Motion is the missing physical keyboard found on the Blackberry KeyOne. The lack of keyboard will give more room for the display which means a larger display as compared to the KeyOne.
Goodbye, Krypton.
