TCL Communication and BlackBerry Limited have announced an end to their partnership to produce BlackBerry phones.
TCL made several BlackBerry phones in recent years, which ran Android with additional software from BlackBerry Limited.
TCL will not introduce any additional BlackBerry phones, and will stop selling existing models at the end of August 2020. It will provide service and support for those phones until the end of August 2022.
TCL made four BlackBerry models: The KEYone, KEY2, and KEY2 LE had physical QWERTY keyboards, while the Motion was a touchscreen-only device.
At this year’s CES, TCL announce plans to sell phone under their own name in the United States.
