BlackBerry should return to the smartphone market for 2021. This is what the brand announced, which has just signed a new partnership with FIH Mobile and OnwardMobility. A new smartphone that should keep up with the times.
BlackBerry was once a leading figure in the world of mobile telephony as was Nokia. The brand had indeed invented the smartphone with a real keyboard that allowed all professionals to receive their email and answer it. However, when the smartphone arrived, just like Nokia, BlackBerry didn’t feel the wind of change arrived. In barely 5 years, the brand has gone from reference to “has been”.
Is the new BlackBerry a security pro?
In any case, this is what the brand announces. It must be said that the company has decided to rush into a niche market. That of “secure” smartphones. It is true that as far as the classic smartphone is concerned, the market is tough with Apple, Samsung and Huawei sharing practically all the cake.

Indeed, the brand announces its return with an ultra secure smartphone which could well appeal to all businessmen, companies, the banking sector, governments… So, above all, this new smartphone will be 5G. So far nothing exceptional.
The difference will be made especially on the fact that the smartphone will integrate the best antivirus software of today, a security system concerning the USB port, and a fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.
A successful and thoughtful partnership.
In fact, BlackBerry has already announced that it will deal specifically with the security part of the smartphone and will bring all its expertise in this area. For manufacturing, BlackBerry leaves the care to its partner FIH Mobile.
As for the marketing and distribution of the smartphone, it is OnwardMobility. A distribution which should be done in North America as well as in Europe. Good news therefore for all security enthusiasts.
