BlackBerry DTEK60 Smartphone Review

BlackBerry's Lifeboat? With the DTEK60, BlackBerry delivers a well-equipped Android smartphone, backed with the company's renowned reputation for security. But is it enough to save the company?

very bright screen ; broad color-spectrum coverage ; good cameras ; decent loudspeaker volume ; additional security features ; long battery life ; very stable construction ; USB-OTG (on-the-go) specification ; precise touchscreen ; impressive system...

relatively slow Wi-Fi speeds ; somewhat imprecise GPS ; mediocre color fidelity ; slow memory access ; some apps do not start or crash ; high power usage under load

Learning from its recent missteps, BlackBerry introduces the new DTEK60, which offers a more than adequate smartphone at a reasonable price-point. The product’s shining feature is its improved security enhancements, which in the age of cyber-attacks is...

BlackBerry DTEK60 review: The best enterprise flagship, priced at just $499

A couple of months ago when BlackBerry announced it was ending internal hardware development, I read many stories stating there would be no more BlackBerry hardware and thought the company would never release another BlackBerry-branded phone. There was...

High quality fit and finish ; Productive BlackBerry Hub and software ; Nearly pure Android experience ; Fast monthly security updates ; Dual stereo speakers

No water resistance ; Average battery life

BlackBerry DTEK60 Review: Secure Android goes high-end

The very fact the BlackBerry DTEK60 even exists might seem like a Catch-22. When a company announces it's stopping all in-house hardware design, the launch of a new smartphone might appear a little awkward.

Security focused ; Better specs than the DTEK50 ; Nougat is guaranteed in a future update

Expensive ; There are other, similar specced smartphones out there

BlackBerry DTEK60

It's no secret BlackBerry's had a tough time of it in the smartphone market recently. Despite having great security software and having migrated from its less-than-popular BlackBerry 10 OS to Android, the company's phones have continued to play second...

BlackBerry DTEK60 review

A great phone with a rubbish name

Great design ; Powerful CPU ; Excellent security

Average camera ; Gaming performance could be better ; Design won't suit all taste

The DTEK60 mixes excellent specs with a gorgeous design and super-secure software, to effortlessly claim the title of BlackBerry's best touchscreen smartphone to date, and earn its place as one of the best Android phones of 2016.

BlackBerry DTEK60 review: More than just an Alcatel clone?

BlackBerry has officially stopped building and designing its own phones. When that news broke , it was almost as dramatic as when it announced its first Android phone, the keyboard-equipped Priv . For BlackBerry, coming out with a flagship phone at the...

Attractive design, fast and fluid performance, that great big display and Quad HD resolution looks great, solid battery life, BlackBerry Hub is great

Camera struggles when lighting conditions aren't perfect, camera protrudes a lot too, small gap between glass and metal in our review model

For BlackBerry, coming out with a flagship phone at the right price was always going to be a challenge. With the DTEK60, the £475 price point is halfway between the super value-for-money OnePlus 3 and the more traditional flagships like the Galaxy S7...

BlackBerry DTEK60 review: BlackBerry's most elegant phone

The BlackBerry DTEK60 succeeds with an elegant design and decent specs. But its focus on security and productivity might fail to elicit much excitement from non-business users.

Polished design, good battery life and performs well in day-to-day use. The 21-megapixel camera takes detailed images and shoots 4K video. And messaging's a breeze.

The fingerprint sensor is finicky. Low-light photos look bad. The phone lacks water-proofing and its security features are a bit overhyped.

The DTEK60 is a fast, capable phone. Its focus on productivity and security will make business users quite happy. As for the rest of us, the phone is rather vanilla.

BlackBerry DTEK60 Review: In Depth

BlackBerry DTEK60 Review: BlackBerry's new DTEK60 doesn't come with a flagship price tag but packs a powerful processor and enhanced security features.

Smart modifications to Android ; Great performance ; Premium design ; Solid cameras

Awkward fingerprint sensor ; Lacklustre screen

The DTEK60 is a phone of firsts for the company with the best hardware and software we’ve ever seen in a BlackBerry. From its large, high-resolution display to its powerful processor, Type-C USB port, fingerprint sensor and intelligently adapted take...

BlackBerry DTEK60 review

Reports that BlackBerry is out the smartphone game are misleading – outsourcing design doesn't mean the company is down and out. The DTEK60 proves the brand can still turn out a high-end, secure phone. Here is our BlackBerry DTEK60 review.

For the first time in a while, this is a BlackBerry we can recommend to the individual consumer. It is also a business device, but the flexibility of Android means it is versatile enough to be moulded to the needs of both. It marries the Android...
