BlackBerry phones quietly return?

Despite many attempts to save the brand over the years, most people agree that BlackBerry phones have become a thing of the past.

However, a recent Reddit post revealed that a UK-based startup is quietly working on reviving the BlackBerry Classic model, after previous attempts by Onward Mobility failed.

Reddit user u/coldheartedsigma shared the information via the BlackBerry subreddit, but was unable to provide details about the branding or design due to a non-disclosure agreement. While the post doesn't provide much information, it does mention some of the device's impressive specs, including 5G support, an AMOLED display, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB or 512GB of internal storage.

The product will not be branded BlackBerry?

The new BlackBerry is expected to run on Android 15, incorporate some advanced AI (artificial intelligence) features, and have a capacitive keyboard. The startup is also planning more devices based on the QWERTY keyboard and is in talks to get exclusive rights to BlackBerry patents.

While u/coldheartedsigma shared images of the device, they were edited to the point where it was difficult to glean specific information. What users could make out included the phrases “Blackberry Patents,” “QWERTY,” and “The world’s first,” while other information was obscured.

The post has been met with skepticism from the community and people should take any leaks with a grain of salt, especially since the source is a new account with no track record of reliability. The source also said that this does not mean that the BlackBerry brand will return to the smartphone market, but that the product could be used under another brand.
