After a hiatus of several years, BlackBerry's new phone is reported to be released this year. But so far, there seems to be no news. What's wrong?
As previously reported, the new version of the BlackBerry Smartphone was developed in partnership with Texas-based company OnwardMobility with BlackBerry and FIH Mobile. This legendary phone brings back the nostalgia of a physical QWERTY keyboard. This feature is one of the things that made BlackBerry popular in the past.
The thing that is most highlighted is also security, as in the past BlackBerry was known to be tough on security. Regarding the operating system, it is certain that the phone will use Android. In addition, it is also equipped with 5G connectivity which is predicted to become a trend as its network expands.
"More than half of the global population owns a smartphone today, so the market is huge," said OnwardMobility CEO Peter Franklin.
Onward Mobility plans to launch this BlackBerry 5G flagship in North America and Europe first, and then follow it to the Asian market. So there is a possibility to enter Indonesia.
Initially, the launch schedule was in the first half of 2021. That is, the new BlackBerry phone should have been released because it is now nearing the end of the year. But it was clear that the plan had failed.
It was clear that the plan had failed because May had passed and there had been no further notification from the company. We may hear more information soon but as the tech world is hit by a shortage of chips, maybe we will have to wait
So it's possible that this chip rarity issue also affects the release of new BlackBerry phones or there are other reasons as well. We look forward to his presence.
