But gaming is a foreign concept to BB owners. The phone isn't a toy it's a tool. It doesn't have to be pretty, it doesn't have to be fast, it just has to WORK and always work.

    I've messed around with this phone for a few days. It's really close to what I personally NEED in a phone. Water / Dust resistance, durable, great battery and good enough performance. It was just too late to the game to make me abandon my S8 Active. It also lacks wireless charging (sorry spoiled by that since the S6 Active), the camera is no where near as good, and in some more resource hungry apps it's not a fair fight.

    But it's $400 more, $50 shy of doubling up the Motions price. But it's the only other phone that really checks those "tool" boxes. In my eyes the Motion is a pretty good phone for it's target audience

                Expected and understable because it's an overpriced brick.

                  I know from personal experience that Dragontrail glass is great, maybe less scratch resistant than Gorilla Glass but way more shock resistant. I still have the phone using Dragontrail working to this day even after dozens of falls to the ground including concrete.

                  It's a pity so few manufacturers make use of it, I would've preferred having it on my Honor 9 instead of Gorilla Glass 3.

                    I always wonder where the phone will be after he done the test.
