Here is the BlackBerry Motion (Krypton) with a full frontal touchscreen!

Just last month, photos of BlackBerry's upcoming Android smartphone to succeed the 'KEYone surfaced online, and at that time, only the back of the phone was revealed and it was rumoured to be called 'BlackBerry Krypton'.

Well, a newly leaked photo by leak master Evan Blass, widely known as @evleaks suggests otherwise. Based on the new info, the rumoured device, which will be manufactured by TCL, will be dubbed 'BlackBerry Motion', which means Krypton was a sort of codename after all.

The photo also provides a clearer picture of what to expect from BlackBerry. The front of the BlackBerry Motion will feature a large touch screen as BlackBerry ditches the physical QWERTY keyboard. A physical Home button can be seen with the BlackBerry branding embedded in it, and I'm guessing this is where the fingerprint scanner will be embedded as well.

At the bottom from left to right is the headphone jack, microphone, USB Type-C and the loudspeaker grills. The positioning of that speaker grill might go well with some as it may easily be blocked when the device is help in landscape mode. But it is too early to judge that as this is just a render and maybe subjected to final design changes. It also looks like the BlackBerry Motion will be made of Metal.

Meanwhile, the device had previously been rumoured to come with a Full HD display at 1920 x 1080 pixels, while it will run on a mid-ranged Snapdragon 625 (or probably 626) SoC. The RAM will be 4GB and it will pack a massive 4,000mAh battery.

BlackBerry Motion/Krypton as previously rumoured will be launched this October so it should probably be coming in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more updates as anything new comes up.

So, what do you think about the looks of BlackBerry's upcoming device?
