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

BlackBerry DTEK50 review
The BlackBerry DTEK50 is a good phone. Above average, even. But we can't fully recommend it because of the way BlackBerry is marketing it. The perhaps incorrect status quo is that people don't want to worry about security; they just want a phone that works.

The BlackBerry DTEK50 will be priced at $300 in the US, and will be available unlocked, and can be used with AT&T and T-Mobile. There you have it for this in-depth look at the BlackBerry DTEK50! $300 is relatively cheap, especially if you want a smartphone that prioritizes security.
Pros:
- Good
- albeit very familiar
- design Lots of useful software features Security is a big priority MicroSD card slot
Cons:
- Lackluster camera Disappointing gaming performance less than average battery life Only 16 GB of internal storage

BlackBerry's second attempt at an Android smartphone lacks the ambition of last year's Priv, but don't get hung up on that. The DTEK50 is a solidly built device with a super-secure foundation, and the company's take on Android continues to impress.

BlackBerry DTEK50 review: Pushing the security narrative
It's usually not a coincidence when a company goes back to its roots, which is hardly a surprise in BlackBerry's case. Even amidst its current malaise, BlackBerry's image is still centered around security, and so, its latest smartphone pushes that narrative.

The BlackBerry DTEK50's hardware is almost irrelevant, as the magic lies in the software.

BlackBerry DTEK50 review
When the rumors BlackBerry was going to release a mid-range Android device started to appear, I wasn't really sure what to expect as an end result. As it turns out, the DTEK50 is a nice looking device that is pretty much up for anything you throw at it and while it doesn't include all the latest and...
Pros:
- Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 out of the box
- Great virtual keyboard
- Mostly stock Android experience
- Continual and fast security updates
Cons:
- No RGB LED
- only white
- No OIS on the camera
- Bigger battery would have been appreciated

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 Review: Security and Productivity for a Good Price
It's easy to make fun of BlackBerry's embrace of Android in an attempt to revive its business. However, its newest phone, the DTek50, shows that by adding what BlackBerry is known for -legendary security - it can successfully differentiate itself from other smartphones.
Pros:
- Excellent security features
- Great keyboard
- Bright display
Cons:
- No CDMA support
- Below-average battery life
