BlackBerry DTEK50 review: Secure, just not top drawer
BlackBerry has a long tradition of building its own hardware and software, but having fallen on harder times of late, the company was forced to outsource. With the DTEK50, its first mid-range Android phone, it has partnered with TCL Communication and added its own subtle tweaks to a pre-existing...
Pros:
- Lightweight
- comfortable to use
- nice looking screen
- BlackBerry Hub and keyboard are great additions to Android
Cons:
- Performance isn't always reliable due to "pause" issue
- battery life could be better
- higher-end phones available for a similar price

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

Blackberry DTEK50
The BlackBerry DTEK 50 has a good display and very smooth overall performance, but lags behind the competition when it comes to the camera, battery life and built-in storage. It's just not the perfect smartphone to buy.
Pros:
- Good display
- Smooth UI
- Very good keyboard
- Compact and ergonomic form factor
Cons:
- Battery life could have been better
- 16GB built-in storage
- Camera should have been better
- Odd placement of the Quick Launcher and power button

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.

An unimaginative phone with a price that overvalues BlackBerry's software extras - unless you're CIA-level paranoid.
Pros:
- Some interesting software extras
- Decent screen
- Clear
- smartly-designed speakers
Cons:
- Poor battery life
- Expensive for the spec & build
- BlackBerry extras are hit and miss

BlackBerry DTEK50 review: playing it safe
BlackBerry has released what it claims to be the world's "most secure Android phone". The DTEK50 is aimed squarely at business users, providing both protection and software designed to aid productivity.
Pros:
- Superior audio quality and microphone
- Productivity features are successful
- Probably the most secure Android phone in the world
Cons:
- Mostly unspectacular
- Decidedly weak battery life
- Unattractive design

BlackBerry DTEK50
BlackBerry has seen its influence rapidly decrease over the past few years, but I retain a soft spot for the company's devices. I was a fan of BlackBerry's first Android phone: the Priv may have been rather big and bulky, but it benefited from clever software features and a nice-ish keyboard.
Pros:
- Nice screen
- Useful software
- Secure approach
Cons:
- Poor battery life
- Dull design
- Really slow
