BlackBerry and TCL made an agreement where TCL would design, manufacture, promote, distribute, sell and support any future BlackBerry models, while BlackBerry is focusing on software and services. Just ahead of the CES 2017, TCL's executive has teased the upcoming BlackBerry smartphone in a 4-second video.

Steve Cistulli, President and General Manager for TCL Communication, sent out a video showing the QWERTY keyboard on the BlackBerry 'Mercury.' We'll have to wait for the official announcement to find out more details about the BlackBerry Mercury as the video barely reveals anything.
