Just a few short years ago, in a time that now feels like a different age, BlackBerry phones were all the rage and having one made you feel like a smart business person.
This was true even if, like myself, you were just a scruffy student who had absolutely no use for the BlackBerry Assistant feature whatsoever, and just liked Word Mole and the way the little buttons looked.
Now, BlackBerry is set to release a brand new phone model, with a 5G Android device scheduled for release in 2021.
As of yet, not much is known about the upcoming device. However, it will reportedly still feature the iconic keyboard that satisfyingly resembles the drupelets that make up a blackberry fruit.
BlackBerry was bought by TCL Communication in 2016, which announced earlier this year that, from August 31, 2020, they would no longer be ‘selling BlackBerry-branded mobile devices’.
Texas startup OnwardMobility is now managing BlackBerry, and will reportedly be marketing the new device for government and corporate clients, with an emphasis on productivity and security.
