The DTEK 50 is a mobile phone recently launched by Blackberry. In 2005, most BlackBerry users wore suits, Ray Ban sunglasses and BMW Mercedes Benz. But by 2016, these people no longer use BlackBerry phones, and they have turned to Samsung and Apple. In fact, most of them do. When they walk on the street, they see either Samsung or iPhone, I have to bemoan how the Blackberry fell into such a field.
The main function of DTEK 50 is its security. After all, today's hackers, even your home surveillance camera, can invade. Maybe the main security is a good choice.
Appearance design
In terms of appearance, the DTEK 50 looks very similar to Alcatel's Idol 4. Although they have different tactility, they are very similar in appearance design. They both use black back shells of rubber and plastic, and the frame is made of metal. This can help users better hold their mobile phones and make typing more comfortable, especially for business people who often need to reply to emails. Some people said that Blackberry had asked TCL to cooperate to design the appearance of the DTEK 50, which may be why the two phones are so similar.

There are two speakers on the front, which are located above and below the screen. The 3.5mm headphone connector is on the top of the body, the charging interface is microUSB, and the power key and volume key are on the right side of the body. There is a Communication Key on the upper left, which has the same function as Galaxy S7 Active The above "Active" button is similar, and you can customize its functions. If you like to watch it online Love to play computer games If you are a WeChat fan, you can also set this key as a WeChat shortcut button.

Unfortunately, this mobile phone does not have fingerprint identification. I am used to fingerprint unlocking, but I was not very used to it when I first contacted the DTEK 50. I immediately returned to the days of password unlocking. The price of this phone is 299 dollars (about 1991 yuan). The appearance and feel are still in line with this price. After all, you can't ask too much.
Screen and camera
The DTEK 50 uses a 5.2 inch, 1080P resolution LCD screen, 424ppi, with a layer of oil drainage on the screen surface. The screen is fully fitted with the glass panel, which brings good appearance and high screen brightness.
Whether you use this screen to watch videos or play games, the experience is very good. Maybe you think today's mobile phones still use the 1080P screen will be very cheap. After all, the current flagship phones all use the resolution of QHD. But considering that the screen size of the DTEK 50 is only 5.2 inches, the ppi is not lower than other mobile phones.
camera
The main camera is 13 million pixels, f/2.0 aperture, and supports 1080P video recording. One good thing is that its camera app has a full manual mode, and you can adjust various parameters to take better photos.
In manual mode, you can adjust the shutter speed, white balance, focal length and exposure. However, if you want to take a long exposure photo, you may be disappointed because its shutter speed can only be adjusted to 1/2 second at the slowest. But in general, the camera is still very playable, which can give full play to your shooting level.
In use, you can take good photos in a well lit environment, and HDR mode is available to output photos with better colors and more details. However, in the weak light environment, the camera is not so powerful, and sometimes the picture will be overexposed and lack of detail, and the edge of the picture will be deformed and the color is too yellow.

The front camera is 8 million pixels, and also supports 1080P video recording. In addition, it also has a dedicated LED flash for self portrait, which is also used as a message notification light.
Performance and endurance
The DTEK 50 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 eight core processor and 3GB memory, which ensures the smoothness of multitasking, However, there will be three or four times in a day, when you open an app, it will get stuck. Most of them are playing games. During the pause, the screen will not respond at all. Although you can press the Home key to go to the main interface, and then close the program from multi tasking, this phenomenon should not occur for a mobile phone like this. This also happens when we use other Android phones. Most of them are Snapdragon 600 series processors. I sincerely hope that they can use other series processors.
The DTEK 50 has only 16GB of storage space. Although this is a little small, it can be expanded by using the microSD card, and supports up to 2TB, which is very powerful. Even better, the DTEK 50 supports the latest feature of Android 6.0, Adoptible Storage (SD card can be formatted into the internal storage space of the phone, and then the app can be installed in the SD card). In this way, no matter how many apps or video music you have, you don't have to worry anymore.
Battery life
The battery capacity of the Blackberry DTEK 50 is 2610mAh. The official claims that it is basically free of pressure after a day of use. It also supports fast charging 2.0, which can fully charge half of the battery in 50 minutes.
In our use experience, as the official claims, it can last for a day, and there is still about 20-30% of electricity left every day. However, if you wear a smart watch and other accessories, and connect with your mobile phone, the power consumption will be faster in this case, and it often needs to be recharged at around 7:00 pm (about 11 hours when using).
system
Now there are many Android phones on the market, and it is difficult for manufacturers to make their products stand out in the market. But for BlackBerry, the uniqueness of their phones lies in the system. The system advantages of BlackBerry Priv are also inherited by DTEK 50.
First, let's take a look at the DTEK app (which is also the origin of the phone's name), DTEK App is a simple and easy to use tool for checking the security of mobile phones. It will tell you the current security factor of mobile phones. You can also see the system resources and permissions called by each app in the mobile phone, and limit them according to different situations, so that your privacy data can be well protected.

If you don't want an app to use a geographic location or microphone, you can choose to limit this permission. In addition, you can also view which permissions and how many times each app has been used.
Like the BlackBerry Priv, DTEK also has a Productivity Tab, which can be opened by swiping from right to left in the main interface to view reminders, frequently used contacts and SMS messages. BlackBerry has also made some improvements in keyboard input, improving the effect of predictive input and making coding more convenient. The BlackBerry Hub puts all mobile phone notification messages, SMS messages and calendar events together at a glance.
(Keyboard and setting interface)
At the same time, there is the "Pop Up" plug-in function, which is very useful. Any app with a small white dot under the icon can support this function. Just press and hold the icon to slide up, you can open the desktop plug-in supported by this app, so you don't need to place the plug-in on the desktop, which greatly saves desktop space.
This virtual keyboard of Blackberry supports its own customized functions, such as turning on sliding input and adjusting key sound. Moreover, this keyboard also supports multi language input, without the need to switch languages back and forth in settings. There are also many pre installed BlackBerry software such as BlackBerry Calendar BBM、Device Search、Password Keeper、 Notes, Tasks, etc., BlackBerry tries to make this phone have its own style and not be submerged in the sea of machines.

In addition, BlackBerry promises that its phones will receive security updates in a timely manner. Google will launch security updates for Android every month. Usually, BlackBerry phones are one of the most timely updated devices.
summary
Blackberry has made great efforts in the system, but there are some shortcomings in the performance. The DTEK 50 has a good screen, a camera with acceptable performance, and a good feel in the hand. Unfortunately, there are still many better options at this price ($299 * about 1991 yuan). We have no sufficient reason to persuade you to buy a Blackberry DTEK 50, Peer Moto G4 or One plus three It is more competitive than DTEK 50.
Perhaps the uniqueness of the BlackBerry DTEK 50 lies in its system and security, but really, will ordinary users really buy the DTEK 50 for its slightly better security performance than other mobile phones? It's hard to say, after all, even if the current mobile phone has a system vulnerability, the manufacturer will usually release an updated patch within a period of time.
