BlackBerryDTEK50 16 GB Android UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Carbon Grey

Simply brilliant! This phone, although sold as a budget phone, is no slouch. Performance wise - no problem at all. Blackberry hub - the BEST productivity software ever, and blackberry DTEK50 software helps to manage ANY permissions from any apps you install. With light use i am getting 2 days of battery life easy.This phone is especially good when bought together with the Blackberry's Smart Pocket which allows you to answer calls and view notifications and read emails whilst your phone is in the case. Superb! keep it up blackbery!

The device at the time of purchased and based on ratings was a very good product which met my requirements. It has been a reliable device and over the course of time the battery without which devices run slowly became problematic. Within minutes of a full charge it would be down. I now found myself having to charge the device multiple times a day. As I type the device has been rebooting itself whilst on the main charge with difficulty getting past 1%. As much as I like BlackBerry devices the battery let's down the product. I would now be switching to a different brand name as I am ever reliant on a working Cellphone. This is an honest appraisal after less than 2 years of use..

Love product low battery life though I thought.Values for money is 16Gb at the cost price .Have always been a blackberry user for years and was amazed at the Android series.

This phone worked well when I bought it a year ago. Suddenly it came up with a message recently saying it isn't a Blackberry Device and isn't working the way it was originally set up to do! I did as recommended and restored it to factory settings - twice. It still says it is not a Blackberry device. I tried to update it from Android 6 Marshmallow - last done in 2018 - but nothing has happened.As Blackberry is no longer supporting their devices, I expect it has been taken over by another, anonymous company or person.....BE WARNED - the Blackberry Security it was know for, is no longer viable. If you are happy to download extra security apps the phone works fine.

Secure, Android, good camera, BlackBerry makes Android work better. Built well, expanding memory and loads of apps.Would have liked a better camera and the BlackBerry brand has taken a bash so no Street cred to be had.

Gifted to a person

The handset was in great condition with all its contents just like a brand new phone, it is a light phone and some will not like the feel of th back, I have no issues and thought the design was fairly good, at this time no lag has been detected and the on screen keyboard has to be the best I have used, I have been unable to update the software for some reason but not an issue, not tried video yet so will update this review soon, the camera is a joke in dark conditions, even taking pictures on a well lit road was a bad experience, loads of noise, and a few shots have turned out blurry, It is still early days but the camera at this time scores a big fat zero, it looks like music is going to be good on this device, it has a good equaliser, despite the issues though I hope to be able to find a way around them, other than that the DTEK is alright and does what you want it to do, battery is average and would suggest you use the battery saver to get a day out of it, the price I paid for this was good enough considering the condition it is in.

Battery lasts only 2 hours while using streaming apps, less with games. Got wet and is now useless. Sound quality is awful at top volume as speakers pop and crackle. Had a J5 for over 5 years. Battery lasts far longer in same condition. Been ran over by a bike, dropped and even down a toilet. Never needed to be fixed. Superior to this rubbish phone. Don't waste your money.
