As part of Blackberry’s quest to regain its lost market share to the likes of Apple, Samsung and Sony, the company is expediting a new range of devices that will appeal to both the BlackBerry classic user and the smartphone fan.

It’s expected that the company will be releasing the BB classic Blackberry Q20 this year, encouraged by some momentum brought about by the launches of the Blackberry Z3 and Blackberry Z10.

Blackberry is the former market leader for handsets, having up to 40% of market share at its peak. Today, it has lost 90% of its glory, capturing only four percent of the mobile device market worldwide.

Earlier reports have noted that the Ontario-based electronics manufacturer was at one point considering selling its mobile division.
