San Francisco, Oct 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) TCL Corporation that manufactures and markets BlackBerry-branded smartphones is not looking to make a 5G handset any time soon, Pocket Lint has reported.
"I don't see the point of 5G on a BlackBerry. It's not an entertainment device and you can already get your email really fast," said TCL's General Manager of marketing, Stefan Streit, during a CCS Insight Predictions event in London, according to the Pocket Lint report.
BlackBerry-branded handsets saw quite a big push in 2018 but were largely absent in 2019.
The company reportedly has plans to work on a 5G smart home device instead.
Streit revealed that the company is looking at other areas where 5G technologies could be utilised: "We can have a lot of fun with 5G and where to apply it -- maybe in an 8K TV or a fridge", the report added.
