Rumor: Legendary BlackBerry smartphones may return as early as next year

The BlackBerry brand, long since abandoned along with the era of phones with physical keyboards, may be preparing for a revival. Well-known insider Yogesh Brar reported that Transsion Group, known for its Infinix and TECNO brands, has acquired the trademark rights.

According to the source, Transsion plans to bring BlackBerry smartphones back to the market as early as 2026. Details about the future devices are still unavailable, but it's possible they will retain the recognizable features of the classic models, including the signature QWERTY keyboard that once made the series a symbol of the business mobile segment.

No official announcements regarding the brand's return have been made yet, but the rumor has sparked a lively debate on social media. For many users nostalgic for the era of physical keyboards, the prospect of a refreshed BlackBerry has come as a pleasant surprise.
