5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Smartphone! Stellar Battery Life!
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2018
Pros:
-Battery life is awesome and I get through the day with HEAVY use and still have 20% around 1am!
-Well built phone by TCL, feels solid and great in the hands.
-Finger print scanner is spot on EVERY time
-Screen size and display is great (at least to me)
-Snappy w/o lag, I've yet seen this phone hiccup although I don't play any games but have several apps open at one time.
-Dust and waterproof (good peace of mind)
-Speaker is decent, though wish it were two speakers but no big deal.
-Extra security from BlackBerry (every little bit helps!)
Cons: (very small cons and not deal breakers)
-Sure, the camera can be better but it's not horrible
-I came from the DTEK50 and got really used to the virtual home button vs the physical home button on the Motion and after a couple weeks, I'm still getting used to it.
Some Critic's cons about the phone:
-Design - critics didn't like the huge chin at the bottom and I guess are used to virtually no bezel but not a big deal at all, at least to me. Also the shape of the phone, this gets me every time. How many different ways can you design a smartphone?!
-Finger print scanner - I've heard a couple people say the finger print scanner was not consistent but I haven't had time where I had to scan my thumb a second time, works 100% of the time.
Summary:
It's a great phone for the money. So many people look at specs and usually w/specs they don't understand and usually buy whatever has the highest. If you want a solid built phone with added security of BlackBerry, then you won't be disappointed w/the Motion.
