However, it seems that Blackberry has already started its outsourcing operation with these two new phones. These phones have been made by the Chinese company TCL and to a large extent Alcatel Idol 4 And Idol 4S As it is and perhaps the reason for this is TCL. So is there anything special and different in these smartphones other than new software and new stickers on the rear? Today we will review Blackberry’s affordable smartphone DTech 50 and try to know the answer to all the questions.
Blackberry Ditech 50 Look and Design
Talking about the design and texture, the DTech 50 looks a bit different. At the front is mostly glass on the part and the edges are made of metal. But the rear of the phone is made of solid plastic on which there is a granny texture which looks very strange. Leaving up and down on the rim of the phone is given space for the stereo speaker grill. It seems that two shapes have been merged with each other.
Where the phone’s grip is easy, there Blackberry Ditech 50 The Dal Gray Rear Panel reminds us of an anti-slip mat. This does not make the phone look beautiful nor does the attempt to give a rugged look to DTech 50 of BlackBerry seems to be successful. This price Blackberry leap According to this, there is more beautiful feeling.
The phone has no branding forward and due to the on-screen Android navigation control on the front, the phone looks completely plane. On the left side is the power button, which is a little difficult to get accustomed, while Blackberry’s program is given ‘Convinance’ on the left side under the volume button. A 3.5mm audio jack is given at the top and there is a micro-USB port at the bottom.
The SIM and MicroSD card slot are clearly given on the rest of the phone’s rim. There is a camera and flash in a corner on the rear. Whereas in the middle, a large logo logo of Blackberry is given in the middle. The battery is not removable.
Overall, we liked the look of DTech 50. In order to create a smartphone with unique design, this design in the phone made by the company famous by the company found the most common and does not have its own distinct identity. Another thing that is necessary to tell that part of the metal rim is more sharp than the rest of the phone, so that it is not convenient to catch the phone while talking. But it is easy to hold and use the phone with one hand with light weight of 135 grams.
Blackberry DTech 50 Specification
So far, we have seen Blackberry making phones with low-end specifications at a higher price. Both leap and Z3 smartphones were launched around the price of DTech 50. And the specification and feature of these phones made us very disappointed. It is good that this time it is not so. Blackberry has understood what the conditions required in a smartphone should be and perhaps that is why the latest specifications are given in DTech 50.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor sounds a bit old but still the work goes on. This processor is seen in a phone priced below Rs 15,000. Snapdragon 617 is an octa-core processor that comes with Adreno 405 GPU and wireless communications. The phone has 3 GB of RAM but the phone has only 16 GB storage. Storage can be extended up to 2 TB via microSD card.
Blackberry has given full HD display for the first time in a phone with this price. The screen is 5.2 inches and has a density of 424 PPI. The phone has a 13 -megapixel rear camera while an 8 megapixel front camera. Video recording can be done for 30 frames per second at 1080 pixels from both phones.
The phone supports LTE on the Indian band. It is a single SIM phone and the phone comes with a hybrid SIM slot. Apart from this, the phone has features like Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, Bluetooth 4.2, A-GPS, NFC and FM radio.
Fingerprint sensor is not given in DTech 50 while DTech 60 Fingerprint comes with sensor. This phone has a small 2610 mAh battery. Quick Charge 2.0 supports but Blackberry Prev Like the market, you will need to buy a charger.
The biggest feature of DTech 50 is the Blackberry’s security feature runs on Android OS. Our review unit was running on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow which is not the latest version. Blackberry has claimed to release the fastest security features according to the industry standard but the start is not strong.
The software of the DTech 50 looks largely like Blackberry Previan. But due to its price, many people could not experience it. But now this software can be experienced with Blackberry DTech 50. The good thing for Android users is that Blackberry has tried to keep its OS visual touch but the UI customization is not completely traditional. You will find standard Android home screen, app drawer, notification shade, setting app and Google Play Store in the phone. All navigation control and convention are completely standard Android based.
We liked the Home Screen Vizt of BlackBerry Previe the most that could be seen when swipe up or down an app icon. This time this is also the same. Almost all the shortcuts in the phone work on a touch, whether they want to enable Wi-Fi or call the contact.
Blackberry has given many software in it to make its Android smartphone different. The phone has a Blackberry Hub, Messenger, Search and DTech app. These apps have not been fully included in the launcher and that is why Blackberry Hub has been given as a separate app. But like the Bibi 10 device, it does not open on just one swipe. But there is a gesture feature of BB10 that opens the hub when swipe from the bottom from the bottom on the screen and then swipe to the right.
The user will have to take many Android permissions while using all the Blackberry apps for the first time. Blackberry hub is always the same as it has been working.
Blackberry DTech 50 Performance
As expected, DTech 50 works like a mid-range smartphone. The phone has strong components to play normal work and game. Every type of content looks good due to large and sharp screen. And watching videos from stereo speakers and playing games becomes more fun. We felt that the sound is slightly low during the call but during normal use it works properly.
In the benchmark test, the phone performed well and DTech 50 scored well. Apart from this, the phone was not hot during use, which is a very good thing.
The phone’s camera performance was a shocking good package. Photos in daylight come with details. Apart from this, color production is also good and especially in macro shot. The focus occurs rapidly. However, autofocus does not work 100 percent every time. However, pictures taken in low light are of a little less quality.
On the other hand, battery life is a major drawback of this phone. The phone does not run even a day with the use of camera using and using video streaming on 4G. In our HD video loop test, the phone battery lasted for 6 hours and 57 minutes. This is very low in terms of any phone coming in this price.
Our decision
It does not matter how the price and specifications of Blackberry’s phone have been successful or not, but always proved to be memorable. Some of these like Blackberry Priv and Passport The smartphone became the new identity of the company. DTech 50 has a better hardware than the previous budget Blackberry. It seems that TCL has fitted blackberry logo on any of its products. For most of the customers, this is nothing more than just another Android smartphone.
But, certainly it is not a useless and disappointing device by leaping blackberry. In this phone you will get better performance, good screen and great camera. But in the market Our list of existing smartphones priced below Rs 20,000 These features and specifications are not enough to make a place in. Especially weak battery. If someone wants to buy this phone, then perhaps a company who wants to give a phone to its employees for secure data. Or those people who are old Blackberry fans in India and Indonesia and wish to return in the old days.
