It has been some time since we final noticed a brand new BlackBerry smartphone, however a few of you would possibly recall that again in 2020, the corporate seemingly gave us hope of seeing a brand new mannequin when it was revealed {that a} new 5G BlackBerry handset was within the works. Fast ahead two years later, it appears like that’s not the case.

This is in keeping with a discussion board submit by CrackBerry’s founder Kevin Michaluk he confirmed with a number of sources that the 5G BlackBerry smartphone is lifeless. For these unfamiliar, the handset was presupposed to be constructed by OnwardMobility since BlackBerry themselves had exited the {hardware} enterprise years in the past.

The firm has since licensed out the BlackBerry model to firms equivalent to TCL previously, with OnwardMobility being the most recent to select up the licensing, however it appears that evidently the corporate might not be eager on pushing BlackBerry branded handsets if this report is true.

We suppose it’s a little bit of a pity that this handset by no means noticed the sunshine of day, however then once more, within the present market, we’re undecided if the BlackBerry model would have helped that a lot both. In the meantime, it appears that evidently BlackBerry is keen to go away its smartphone previous behind as the corporate lately revealed that they might be promoting off the rest of its cell patents.
