Nokia C1 VS BlackBerry DTEK50: 3GB RAM Android battle

BlackBerry and Nokia are used to be the popular smartphones in the market. However, the two brands can not compete with Android smartphone brands. They lost a lot of market shares to the other Android competitors. As the result, Nokia had to sell their phone business to Microsoft. BlackBerry, on the other hand, fell far behind in the race comparing to the other rivals. And now, they are coming back. This time, both companies return with Android devices. These smartphones are expected to get back market shares to the brands.

After BlackBerry Priv, the Canadian brand is bringing another Android smartphone to the market – BlackBerry DTEK50. And this phone is the world’s most secure Android mobiles.

BlackBerry DTEK50: the most secure Android phone in the world

After being out of the game, BlackBerry decided to come back with the first Android smartphone last year. Although running on Android Lollipop, BlackBerry Priv still has the BlackBerry signature- a physical keyboard. This year, the Canadian company continues to bring to the market another Android phone- BlackBerry DTEK50. However, this time, this phone shows up with nothing like a BlackBerry phone.

BlackBerry DTEK50 specs are not as strong as its predecessor. The phone is powered by an octa-core SND 617 processor. To ensure the performance, the company added a 3GB of RAM paired with a 16GB of expandable inbuilt storage. BlackBerry new phone comes with a 5.2-inch FHD display and a 2610mAh battery life.

If you’re in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands, you can buy it by pre-ordering.

BlackBerry is likely to quit using BB10 and let Android OS be their operating system forever. That can be good news to those who love Android smartphones and bad news to some BlackBerry fans…

BlackBerry decides to switch completely to Android smartphones in 2016

Not long ago, BlackBerry introduced their first Android-based device BlackBerry Priv in India and also announced that the company would no longer use BlackBerry 10 operating system for their upcoming handsets. Instead, Google’s Android OS would be chosen to replace the BB10. It’s said that this is like a strategy aiming at reviving BlackBerry’s hardware department, which contributes a majority of their revenue all over the world.

“The PRIV device is essentially our transition to Android ecosystem. As we secure Android, over a period of time, we would not have two platforms, and may have only Android as a platform,” said Damian Tay, senior director, APAC product management of BlackBerry. However, he also emphasized that “for now, we have BB10 and Android platforms for our smartphones.” We guess after the success of BlackBerry Priv with Android OS and security at its core, the firm wants to follow the same route.

To explain more about the decision, Tay added that “we went for Android essentially for its app ecosystem. In addition, all the enterprise solutions that we have been doing have been cross-platform for a long time now. So it’s a natural progression towards Android.” But, simultaneously, they will continue selling BB10 models like Classic and Passport which are even more secure than Android ones.

The second Android BlackBerry phone will be…

In early January 2016, BlackBerry CEO John Chen indicated they might launch another Android smartphone this year; it would be a mid-range one. Though, at CES 2016, Chen once again mentioned their plan but instead of one, it would be two Android machines to be released. We hope they are a mid-ranger and a high-end premium one, so that consumers will have more choices.

Besides being the very first BlackBerry smartphones running on Android Operating System, BlackBerry Priv is also known for its unique design. The phone has 2 curved bezels and a full QWERTY physical keyboard able to slide out when you need. Furthermore, the keyboard also doubles as a touchpad which was firstly introduced in BlackBerry Passport.

What we have received so far is the information about BlackBerry Priv price which was leaked in China not long ago. Accordingly, the Priv will cost 3,999 Yuan, equivalent to $630 or RM2,625 as the BlackBerry Priv Price in Malaysia. Obviously, this cannot be called an affordable device; it will mainly aim at those who want to purchase a high-end machine.

As we mentioned above, BB Priv looks really special when sporting the Android interface, but other BlackBerry Priv specs are also impressive. They include a Quad HD 5.4-inch screen, a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 1.8GHz chipset and 3GB RAM. As for the camera, there is a combo of a 5 megapixel front and an 18 megapixel rear snapper with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, autofocus function and ability to record 4K videos. In addition, the handset’s internal storage is capable of 32GB. For a fuller view of the BB Priv Specs, check out the table below:

So, BB Priv seems to be the latest BlackBerry product in the spotlight at the moment, and we are excited to share with you many Priv’s live photos having been seen on the internet recently. Though we have not been informed whether BB will released other color variants for the Priv or not, the black version is premium and beautiful enough for now 😉 !

In terms of availability, it is said that the device will go on sale in the Q1 of 2016. Anyhow, BB has still not confirmed that as well as the official BlackBerry Priv release date. Therefore, we need to wait a bit more. Once the detail is out, we will update immediately! So, stay tuned 😀 !

Lately, in a interview at the Code Mobile conference in Half Moon Bay, California, John Chen – Chief Executive Officer of BlackBerry and Executive Chair of the Company’s Board of Directors, has shared an interesting and important announcement related to the company’s future and the new smartphone BlackBerry Priv.

According to Mr. Chen, BlackBerry’s goal is to sell 5 million smartphone units per year, which is a considered as a safe number for their profits. That also means the new BlackBerry Priv running on Android OS will decide the firm’s future.

To explain this, we can base on the most recent reports of BlackBerry. Accordingly, they were just able to sell 800.000 phones in the last Q2, 2015. And now, we are in the last quarter of the year and 5 million is also not a small number at all. It seems like BB is putting much hope on their flagship Priv. If Priv cannot turn things around, there would be no light for the BlackBerry’s future in the mobile market.

As for the BlackBerry Priv specs, the CEO claims that many security tech of their own will be built in the handset.

“I think the market wants security,” Chen said.

Besides, he adds that merging his company’s BB10 OS with Android in the near future is also included in the plan. The idea is to bring all the advanced security features of BlackBerry’s BB10 OS over to Android on BB devices, so that they will just have to manage one OS on the mobile.

Back to the Priv, it has a physical keyboard that doubles as a trackpad. Moreover, it is announced as a phone coming with extremely high levels of security. “The [only] other phone that can claim that their security is better than us is the Blackphone,” Chen said.

To recap, it seems like even big companies like BlackBerry and Sony cannot avoid the harshness of the market. They are considering withdrawing from the mobile industry. In case of BlackBerry, they are hoping that BlackBerry Priv will help them gain more success in the last months of 2015. Can they do that? Can they reach 5 million smartphones sold out? And even when they can, what is coming next? Let’s wait and see!
