BlackBerry smartphones are officially pulled out on the market and a week after, it decided to give its license to handset manufacturer TCL.
The Chinese company confirmed that people should expect BlackBerry handsets in the future. It is said to be available in all countries except for countries where it has struck some licensing deals including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
According to PC World, this may not be hard for TCL because, in the first place, it is responsible for manufacturing the last two handsets of BlackBerry- DTEK50 and DTEK60. Besides, as compared to Nokia, it has already taken a more excellent route. It should be noted that in the early years of this century, BlackBerry has been in the marque phone brands.
It is worth noting that the sale of Nokia to Microsoft gave the latter the right of usufruct for a transitional period. When Nokia made its name again earlier this year, it immediately obtained HMD Global with a 10-year license.
Both Blackberry and Nokia were not able to adapt to change in the mobile market. Nokia did not realize the essence of touch in a smartphone. On the other hand, Blackberry could not be completed if it will not get support from app developers. A good thing about Blackberry is its OS being more secure than Android. But, there is no doubt why HMD and TCL will bet on Android. In the first place, it is the most in demand app of all time.
What comes after the DTEK50 and DTEK60 is not yet known since TCL is not open about it. Blackberry also said that it may shift its software to an electronic company. Furthermore, the Ontario-based tech company is happy to announce its partnership with TCL Communication Technology Holdings Ltd., the same company which created the latest devices from BlackBerry.
According to CTV News, the making of the hardware will be stopped after its non-profitable release. Instead, it will become more focused on security software operations because it is growing.
