TCL, maker of the Blackberry brand of Android smartphones has its presence registered at the CES 2018, and while the company didn’t wow us with any new products or even a follow-up for its flagship device, it come up with some non-ground breaking announcements: US availability for the full touchscreen BlackBerry Motion, and the unveiling of a bronze color for the KeyOne.
The company hinted that the Bronze colored KeyOne might be the last color variant of the KeyOne, just as it considers bringing in new products to the market later in the year. Speaking on its plans for the latter part of the year, Alain Lejeune, Global General Manager for BlackBerry Mobile confirmed that it will launch “at least two new phones” in 2018.
