But now it looks like the company will be launching a successor this smartphone. BlackBerry has been trying to turn itself around and we’ve seen it greatly shift focus towards software in the last few years leading many to believe that it may ultimately ditch phones.
Blackberry DTEK60 Android Smartphone spotted on company’s website specifications:- Earlier, it was reported that BlackBerry was working on three new Android smartphones.
The BlackBerry DTEK60 will have a Snapdragon 820 chipset present under the hood.
We don’t know much about the old BlackBerry phones but there are people who still use them.
As for the similarities, it seems that the DTEK60 will have the same “no keyboard” design as the DTEK50, which may disappointing long-time BlackBerry fans. Powering the DTEK60 will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core 64-bit SoC clocked at 2.15 GHz with the Adreno 530 GPU.
While specs of the DTEK60 have emerged online, there are no images associated with the rumored device.
As for memory and storage, BlackBerry tells us the DTEK60 will come with 4GB of RAM with 32GB of internal storage expandable to an impressive 2TB via MicroSD slot. Notably, there’s mention of a fingerprint scanner on the device, which would be the first on a BlackBerry.

Chen has previously set a deadline of September to make the once-dominant smartphone maker’s hardware division profitable again or get out of the business. Will there be a new BlackBerry Passport variant powered by Android? Coming on to the camera the smartphone would hold, it would have a 21MP rear snapper with autofocus, and an 8MP front camera will take care of the selfie needs. It appears that BlackBerry DTEK60 is a rebranded version of TCL 950 that is yet to launch. The next DTEK handset could well become the most secure of them all with latest security patches and support from BlackBerry Enterprise Security suite.
