China-based TCL Communication has officially launched BlackBerry "Motion" -- an all-touch smartphone -- that comes with a massive 4,000mAh battery and is said to be similar to the popular BlackBerry "KEYone" sans the physical keyboard.

The smartphone sports 5.5-inch full-HD LCD display and is likely to be a mid-range phone equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage, an Engadget report said late on Sunday.

The device, launched here at the "GITEX Technology Week," is IP67 water-resistant and runs a customised take on Android 7.1 operating system (OS).

"You'll get the same security-focused apps intended to make it business-and privacy-friendly", the report added.

There is also 12MP rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture and 8MP front-facing camera along with a front fingerprint sensor.

BlackBerry "Motion" will be available in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the moment, with a price equivalent to about $460.
