Blackberry smartphone 2022

A 5G-enabled Blackberry smartphone will launch in 2022, Texas-based startup and Blackberry mobile licensee OnwardMobility has announced. The company said the new 5G smartphone would retain a keyboard, but other details remain unclear. Blackberry recently announced that it ended support for BlackBerryOS on January 4, 2022. With this, the company will discontinue offering significant services for its existing devices. It essentially marked the end of old-gen keypad enabled Blackberry phones that once dominated the smartphone market. The end of old Blackberry phones was marked by the entry of iPhones - 15 years ago. ALSO READ: However, the recent post by OnwardMobility clarifies saying, “While we encountered various delays that prevented us from shipping in 2021, we will be providing more regular updates starting this month that will clarify and answer many of your questions about the ultra-secure 5G enterprise smartphone (still with a keyboard!) we’re bringing to market." The company said that it couldn’t launch the new 5G Blackberry smartphone last year as “2021 was truly a challenging year to launch a new phone." The company proclaimed that it is “not dead." Other details remain unclear; however, we can expect the company to finally get a refreshed OS that will continue to support both touch and keypad controls. Several Blackberry phones like Blackberry Key2 (2018) have launched with Android OS. We can expect the new phone to retain a similar design that is a large display...

BlackBerry, the company that once dominated smart mobile devices, recently announced it is finally discontinuing key services that support its phones. As of today, the phones will no longer be provided with provisioning services, meaning they will gradually lose the ability to join networks, including the cellular network. BlackBerry eventually gave up on its own phones and started releasing Android versions before exiting the hardware business entirely (it now primarily provides corporate security services). The last version of the BlackBerry OS it released dates back to 2013, so the devices affected here are now extremely old. The promised period of support actually ended over a year ago, which means the company has already over-delivered on its promises. The effect of the end of support is detailed on There are a handful of software services that relied on connections to BlackBerry servers in order to function. So, if you relied on something like BlackBerry World or BlackBerry Link, those will stop functioning today. The number of people likely to be affected by this is vanishingly small. Still, it serves as a clear marker of the end of what was once a very significant technology. This story originally appeared on Ars Technica .

The Astro Slide also touts 5G connectivity, Those are some pretty decent mid-range specs - the RRP is €819, which converts to around $940, £680, AU$1,295, so the price fits if you factor in the moving mechanism, and it ships worldwide too so you can pick it up in all those regions. • Check out all of TechRadar's CES 2022 coverage .

Pin There’s a new BlackBerry phone on the way. But is anyone actually going to buy it? Onward Mobility now owns the license to the BlackBerry brand. This means, like TCL before it, the company can design, manufacture, and sell BlackBerry phones. And I say, apparently, because Onward Mobility said its first 5G-ready BlackBerry phone was coming in 2021. But here we are at the arse-end of 2021 and there’s no new BlackBerry phone in sight. This is likely down to either bad planning or the global chip shortage. Either way, I don’t think we’ll be seeing a new BlackBerry phone until at least 2022. In fact, it’ll probably launch at MWC 2022 –that’d be as good a place as any for Onward Mobility to unveil its new vision for how BlackBerry phones should look and function. And MWC usually takes place in February. Who’s Gonna Buy It? Talk of a new BlackBerry phone is great. And I’m glad to see the company’s name back on the radar. But if we’re being completely honest, who in their right mind believes this is going to work? I mean, it has taken Google the best part of a decade to even get so much of a sniff of success LG threw in the towel completely. Ditto HTC. And Pin In the US, people use Samsung phones or iPhones, for the most part. Security? Possibly. I mean, yeah, it could work. But Android – especially if you If Google Can’t Get A Look In, Onward Mobility is Screwed… But the main thing is branding. Think about it: Apple and Samsung. That’s what people think about when they think ...
