TCL has announced that they will stop producing phones for BlackBerry starting August 2020. [caption id="attachment_227134" align="alignnone" width="720"] BlackBerry KeyOne[/caption] Back in 2016, BlackBerry has decided to stop designing its own smartphones after 14 years in the business. After their failure to capture developers to come on board their OS, BlackBerry 10, the company struggled to keep up with its competitors such as Apple and Samsung. Since then, BlackBerry has outsourced the design and production of its smartphones to TCL. Both companies agreed that TCL could release BlackBerry-branded smartphones, including the use of the iconic keyboard. At the same time, BlackBerry Limited provided the apps and a more secure version of the Android OS. BlackBerry would then receive royalty payments for each unit sold.
