In different words, we will not be seeing a smartphone made by BlackBerry anymore in the near future. Instead, there will be a third-party company to do the manufacturing for them. \u00a0Also from the same statement, CEO John Chen clearly pointed out that the company will stop all internal hardware development and switch their focus to other segments.<\/p>\n<p>BlackBerry will concentrate on software and service segment. John Chen also said: \u201cIn Q2 2017, more than doubled our software revenue year over year and delivered the highest gross margin in the company\u2019s history&#8221;. Besides, as the newest revenue report, BlackBerry got 89% growth in software and service revenue. That explained why it won&#8217;t be such a surprise if the company concentrate on software and services instead of smartphones.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/black-1.webp 560w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/black-1-300x169.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/black-1.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/black-1.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/black-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26972 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"BlackBerry phone\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>The truth be told, BlackBerry is facing quite a lot of difficulties in the smartphone\u00a0market currently. Samsung, Apple and other brands from China are growing fast and dominating the global market. Being left behind, BlackBerry has just earned 0.3 percent of global market share and it is even\u00a0decreasing gradually.<\/p>\n<h3>BlackBerry phone &#8211; The future plan<\/h3>\n<p>As they are saying a goodbye to smartphone production, the are coming up with another plan. That being said, the Canadian Giant will be concentrating on providing software for other brands in the future. For instances, they have worked with TCL hardware company to mass produce and launched smartphone. Hopefully the new strategy works out and we can keep seeing better and better products from BlackBerry and their partners.<\/p>\n<div class=\"31e97817518902a1d132cf665aa26f91\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7613953952\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BlackBerry is such a huge name in the smartphone market.
