BlackBerry DTEK50 Review
BlackBerry is still in the game and it's using Android to get them back on its feet. If the Priv is way too much for you to enjoy a BlackBerry phone, then the DTEK50 we have here wants to address that concern.
Pros:
- Sturdy build
- Good display
- Great overall performance
- An affordable BlackBerry device
Cons:
- A bit light for our liking
- Additional BlackBerry features are not skin deep
- Lacks a fingerprint scanner
- Average battery life

BlackBerry's inability to find the perfect device for the "budget smartphone" segment has been touted as one of the reasons for the brand's decline in recent years. Ironically, the Canadian brand had its high noon when it released the 8520 in 2009 at a price that was considered staggeringly low in a...

Love Blackberry
Great Phone. Blackberry always impresses me. Its a shame more people do not give them another chance. Love the phone, the security, the video are awesome. It's just the batterie life that's a little weak.

BlackBerry / Android / Security
What a great mix of BlackBerry software on a full Android offering. Love the size, thinness and near stock Android experience. All this at a great price. Nice to see BlackBerry provide a smart choice for security minded customers.

BlackBerry DTEK50 review: secure, but not special
Last year BlackBerry launched the Priv, its first-ever Android smartphone. The Priv represented another attempt by BlackBerry to reinvent itself for the modern mobile era and build something worthy of competing with Apple, Samsung, and other smartphone makers.
Pros:
- Monthly security updates
- Near-stock Android software
- Nice display and speakers
Cons:
- Unimpressive performance
- Weak camera
- Poor battery life

Design - Full HD display The BlackBerry DTEK50 has a 5.2" Full HD display, which gives us a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels (1080p), equating to 424 pixels per inch. The display performs well with True Colour 24-bit colour depth and 16 million colours.

With a better camera and CPU, the DTEK50 could have been a mid-range best-buy. Instead, it's going to mostly appeal to the business segment, who favors security and productivity features. Regular users will look past it and to alternatives that offer improved everyday features for the same price.

BlackBerry DTEK50 review
The BlackBerry DTEK50 is the world's most secure Android smartphone. So says the Canadian firm at least. It's a compelling claim too, as concern over personal security on mobile devices has never been higher – and the DTEK50 looks to play on that insecurity in people's minds by offering solid specs...

Cheap and secure, but still very nice to use
I pre-ordered the DTEK50 as a replacement for my iPhone 6 (which was a temporary replacement for my broken Galaxy S6). I wanted better than your typical Android security and this offers a lot more security-minded features than mentioned in the review.
Pros:
- Form factor
- price
- security
- Hub
- Productivity Tab
- speakers
- display
Cons:
- Battery life is good
- but not quite what I expected from BB

BlackBerry DTEK50 review: An Android phone with a BlackBerry logo
In a crowded mid-range smartphone market, the DTEK50 doesn't stand out. It's a $300 phone that feels like a $200 one. The new BlackBerry DTEK50 is sold as a BlackBerry phone that will make your personal information incredibly secure.
Pros:
- The BlackBerry DTEK50 is a slim, lightweight phone that's easy to use with a single hand
- BlackBerry's software tweaks mostly improve the Android experience.
Cons:
- The camera struggles in low light
- performance is a bit lacking
- and BlackBerry's security claims are seriously overblown.
