January 10 news, since August 31, 2020, TCL and BlackBerry partnership ended, in early April 2021, BlackBerry and OnwardMobility reached a cooperation, the latter obtained a license from BlackBerry to produce BlackBerry mobile phones. At that time, OnwardMobility planned to launch the BlackBerry branded 5G phone in the first half of 2021, but it is already 2022, and it is still uncertain when the phone will be released.

Recently, according to digitaltrends, OnwardMobility said that the BlackBerry 5G mobile phone equipped with a keyboard is still planned, and the official said that "although we have encountered obstacles and various delays, we will still bring the BlackBerry 5G mobile phone to the market." The message shows that OnwardMobility will retain the biggest feature of the BlackBerry - equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard.

Since 2006, the BlackBerry 7100 "Charm" series has marked a new era of BlackBerry products, and ordinary consumers are addicted to this product with photo, navigation and BBM chat functions. In 2009, BlackBerry won 20% of the world's smartphone market. However, the glory of BlackBerry also ended here, in 2010, the global mobile phone began to fully enter the intelligent era dominated by Apple iOS and Android, and BlackBerry began to continue to decline.

Ultimately, BlackBerry decided at the end of September 2016 to stop producing its own phone and licensed its brand to TCL, which has had nearly global rights to design and sell BlackBerry brand phones since December 2016. It does a great job of combining the classic BlackBerry-style design with the features of modern Android phones. However, none of these devices succeeded in the market, and blackberry's partnership with TCL ended after the contract with TCL expired on August 31, 2020.
