BlackBerry is about to come back and aims to do it big with one 5G smartphone with one particularity: one physical keyboard. In February we learned that the launch of the smartphone will be global and, although there are no official images yet, many enthusiasts and experts have begun to propose yield how the smartphone could be.
BlackBerry is back (and keyboard too)
Although there are still no concrete data and certain news on the new BlackBerry smartphone, there are many clues and rumors to think about. First and foremost the phone should be a heir to BlackBerry Key2, smartphone released in 2018 without great success.
