They ~~sold~~ licensed the brand to TCL in 2016, so there were some Chinese android phones with BB branding, the last one was Evolve X in 2018, 6 years ago. iirc they were very overpriced

afaik, they still develop and sell QNX, their in-house OS. They're a far cry of what the once were though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/QNX
