Blackberry has also announced a new trade-up program for existing Priv customers as well as for those who are now using their outdated BB10 and BBOS devices.
That Blackberry was not too intent on continuing support for their devices was a bit obvious when we had reported that the Priv and the DTEK series would not receive the latest Android Oreo update.
However, the company did mention that it will continue to fulfill any warranty obligations for the Priv and if there are any critical vulnerabilities it will work with the partners to offer patches.
It has been two whole years since BlackBerry announced a new device running BB10 software and the manufacturer has confirmed the software will only get any kind of support for another two years. The unit featured a bold design with a unique sliding keyboard but still managed to cater to business with its solid security suite.

We learned in September that BlackBerry wouldn't be updating the Priv to Android Nougat, despite that it launched with Android Lollipop. The camera was aided by Optical Image Stabilisation, phase detection autofocus and dual-LED (dual tone) flash. The Priv was backed by a non-removable 3,410 mAh battery with support for Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 technology.
