A few days ago we knew that BlackBerry was finalizing preparations to officially introduce two new mobile devices with Android operating system and a design and performance on who had leaked several images and a large amount of information. While no one expected for the time being the launch of one of the two terminals, some hours ago the Canadian company has presented officially the new BlackBerry DTEK50 or BlackBerry Neon as we knew it until now.
For this second Android smartphone, BlackBerry has counted with the assistance and support of Alcatel, which has created an almost exact copy of your Alcatel Idol 4, that if the Canadians have been commissioned to provide maximum security, one of the hallmarks of the company which runs Jhon Chen, their unique applications or own customization layer.
In addition, and although we will discuss a little later, the price is considerably better to the BlackBerry Priv and implies that it may be a mobile device to any user.
First we are going to carry out a review for the key features and specifications of this BlackBerry DTEK50;
- Dimensions: 47 x 72.5 x 7.4 mm
- Weight: 135 grams
- 5.2 inch display with Full HD resolution
- Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 8 cores and 64-bit
- 3 GB of RAM
- 16 GB of internal storage expandable via microSD up to 2 TB cards
- Connectivity: 4G, WiFi, 4.2 Bluetooth and NFC
- Rear 13 megapixel camera with Aperture f/2.0 and Full HD recording at 30 fps
- Front 8 megapixel camera with Aperture f/2.2 and recording in Full HD and 30 fps
- battery mAh 2.610
- Android operating system: 6.0 Marshmallow
In view of these specifications there is no doubt that BlackBerry and Alcatel have succeeded in creating a more than interesting mobile device, although once again say that BlackBerry has lacked climbing a rung to say that it has created an outstanding device and that everyone would want to have in their hands. It is not only the design, but a somewhat outdated processor, a battery which may seem scant and a version of Android that is not nor much less the last which is available on the market, are some aspects that do not invite optimism and that surely will not stop convince a potential buyer.
A design that we had seen before, but a good software
When BlackBerry decided to partner with Alcatel for the manufacture of its new mobile devices with Android, everyone assumed that we would see a terminal that would keep some resemblance to those in the Idol series, which both have succeeded and so many good comments have been received by critics. What almost no one expected is that lto new BlackBerry, second with Android operating system, was a copy of the Alcatel Idol 4.
Look at it by where you look it this new BlackBerry reminds you to successful terminal of Alcatel, although that Yes, when you turn it the thing changes and reminds us that we we have a device of the Canadian firm. And it is that the company which runs Jhon Chen has used a version of Android with a layer of customization not too loaded and that it resembles the stock.
We can also meet BlackBerry Hub or BlackBerry Messenger installed natively, as well as other exclusive BlackBerry applications. Not missing the security measures, one of the hallmarks of the Canadian company, and which we could highlight for private data protection, measures against the installation of malware, a commitment to the release of different security updates and to protection against ROOT that surely fails to convince too many users.
Price and availability
The BlackBerry Priv, the first mobile device of the Canadian Android after the failure which meant BlackBerry 10, raised a huge expectation in the market, but its price made sales to stay far away from the expected. This DTEK50 BlackBerry however can boast one more than adequate price and is that is now available to book in several countries for a price of 339 euros, with an external battery of 12 gift. 600mAh.
That Yes, as we have been able to know unfortunately any user which is launched today itself the subject of this new BlackBerry (can do so through the link you’ll find at the bottom of this page), will not receive it at home until Aug. 8.
