BlackBerry DTEK50 becomes official, runs Android and costs $299

26 July, 2016
The much-rumored second Android smartphone from BlackBerry is a rebranded alcatel Idol 4.

Sort by:

Blackberry is known for their quality and security. They won't release a phone in their name unless they know it's up to blackberry standards. So before making stupid comments to blackberry for doing something good, just buy the phone and prove there is any security breach in the phone if you can.!!

    An iphone is having mediocre hardware and great software (shitty for me) and they charge you 1000$. Nobody is complaining. Now the same is doing by blackberry for less than half money but stupid people complaining about overpricing?. What the hell is wrong with you guys?.

      Jasmeet Singh, 26 Jul 2016Best wishes Blackberry. Your phones are incredible. You're kidding, right?
      This phone is an Alcatel Idol 4 made by TCL Corp. and re-branded. So, you have to congratulate the Chinese guys, not BlackBerry!

          Airbus A340-500, 26 Jul 2016Please see the image posted, i can see 2 BB apps already!!!Bloatware or software depends on the individual / company. BB HUB for me is a deal-maker, while I think DTEK app is just pointless.

          Remember that price-tag also includes releasing monthly updates on par with Nexus devices. Additional price is more than worth the updates, for some, if they care about vulnerabilities.

            Has all the security that Blackberry is know for, but can run Android apps!! If it works well, I'll switch back. Who needs NSA looking at our phones like they already do on the rest.
