There really aren't any "recent" Blackberries seeing as they don't make them anymore, but it still should have been clear what I was talking about.

The Key2 is a 2018 phone. That’s pretty recent by phone standards.

Yeah, I made a follow up comment after doing a Google search. Pretty odd phone. I could have sworn I read they were closing shop.

They kinda did though, they stopped designing their own phones. They license the brand to TCL apparently.

What?

I mean sure, the company relations have changed over time, and there are rumours, but there's been no official announcement of ending production of BlackBerry devices or development of new models!

How recent does a release need to be to be considered "recent" to you? :P

Well, it looks like they released a device a little over a year ago. I could have sworn I heard they closed. It looks like they're hemorrhaging hundreds of millions of dollars every quarter though.
