Blackberry has unveiled their latest creation, the blackberry DTEK50. This is good news especially for blackberry enthusiasts, who have been looking forward to the next android blackberry device. The company has recently been struggling in the smartphone manufacturing business their latest device is a move to restore past glory, maybe to the days of the blackberry bold and cure handsets. The Canadian company dominated the mobile handsets world in the days of BBM but was unable to keep up with the constantly evolving smartphone world. The company claims that this device is the world’s most secure Android smartphone, and this can be owed to its DTEK software, where the smartphone also derives its name, which doesn’t add any street appeal to the device if you ask me. If you put this phone next to the blackberry Priv, its big brother, it’s probably safe to say that you have the world’s most secure Android devices. Let’s take a closer look at the device.

Design and display

The device is the thinnest Blackberry device in the market, and surprisingly light, weighing only 135 grams. It has a 5.2 inches high definition display, though not as colourful as an AMOLED screen, the Blackberry DTEK50’s screen is bright and clear. There is a power key on the left side of the device and an action key on the right, a centralised round key that allows you to access the recent or the most used application. The action key is joined by the volume key on the same right-hand side of the handset. There is no cutting edge design here but the nicely fitted metal frame, and the device’s manageable size gives it a soft touch in the back which allows it to rest comfortably in your palm.

Performance and specs

The blackberry DTEK50 comes with the Android 6.0 marshmallow and an excellent collection of pre-installed blackberry apps and features. The company has done very little to mess Google’s latest Android version resulting in a smooth experience. The phone comes with 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory expandable up to 2TB. To make the card work seamlessly, the device is designed in such a way that its operating system adopts the external storage and treats it as part of the internal storage. The octa-core Snapdragon 617 processor increases the loading speeds and gives a smooth navigation overall. It device has an 8mp front camera with flash and a 13mp rear camera.

Security

This is the best feature on this device. Security on the blackberry DTEK50 is made simple for everyone and shows you how secure your phone is as well as constantly trying to improve your device's security status through DTEK software. The phone also comes with other blackberry pre-installed security protocols for an enhanced experience.

In summary:

The blackberry DTEK50 is not going to blow your mind with its flagship features or wow you with its design, but it is an amazingly promising mid-range smartphone with enhanced privacy and arguably the best security in the mid-range smartphone category. The device fully encrypts all your data, has a decent spec sheet and is expected to retail at a reasonable price when it hits the Kenyan market.
