Blackberry to release 5G smartphones in 2021

Blackberry is coming back!

Blackberry KEY2 and KEY2 LE from 2019

Blackberry has been one of the pioneers in terms of smartphones back in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It may have been a while since the company released a new device but 2021 may be the year it comes out of hibernation.

With a new licensing partnership with OnwardMobility and FIH Mobile Limited, Blackberry will develop and manufacture a new smartphone with 5G. The device will focus on security features that gave Blackberry its fame. In addition, it will still run on Android but with a physical QWERTY keyboard.

There seems to be multiple devices lineup as well. However, we need to put this on the shelf at the moment since a full roster of devices can depend on the success of their first device. Blackberry has been on the wrong side of history since its last few devices as well with a small number of sales and hype.
