The BlackBerry Motion will also go on sale later this month in Saudi Arabia for 1,699 riyal, and will be available in “select global markets” this quarter.
“While the initial launch of our newest BlackBerry smartphone will be limited, this is an exciting addition to our growing BlackBerry smartphone portfolio, setting a strong foundation for further portfolio and market growth in the years to come,” said Alain Lejeune, Global General Manager for BlackBerry Mobile.
TCL acquired global rights to the BlackBerry brand in December 2016, following an announcement by the Canadian smartphone pioneer last Septembert that it would exit the hardware business and focus instead on software services.
The Chinese manufacturer, which also produces smartphones under the TCL and Alcatel brands, unveiled the BlackBerry KeyOne, its first BlackBerry-branded handset, at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February.
