In February this year, onwardMobility, a Texas company that receives the BlackBerry brand, issued a statement saying that it will stop developing BlackBerry 5G mobile phones with physical keyboard designs, and unless other mobile phone manufacturers take the BlackBerry brand authorization, it is impossible to see the new BlackBerry 5G machine with a physical keyboard. However, recently there are foreign media reports that a company called Unichertz has released a new product announcement and will develop a smartphone with a physical keyboard.
It is understood that the smart phone developed by Unihertz uses the QWERTY full keyboard design, reproducing the appearance of blackBerry Key2, and will support 5G networks, but the probability will not use Qualcomm's 5G flagship chip, before Unihertz launched the Titan series of physical keyboard smartphones, a generation of products mainly high endurance and large screen, the second generation of Titan Pocket is mainly portable and compact, and the two products are equipped with MediaTek Helio P60 and Helio P70 processors, so this new machine processor that forks the BlackBerry Key2 may be equipped with MediaTek's 5G low-end processor.
Unihertz's ability to continue to develop new keyboard designs is good news for users who love physical keyboards, but don't expect too much from the configuration of this new machine.
