BlackBerry has a new phone and it's running Android meet the BlackBerry D Tech 50 it features a 5.2 inch full HD display with an octa-core Snapdragon 617 processor and 3 gigabytes of RAM even though it's not the speediest processor out there it does feel fully capable other features include a 13 megapixel rear camera and an 8 megapixel one on the front the phone comes with 16 gigabytes of internal storage although it does have a micro SD card slot so you can add up to an additional few terabytes of space as for battery life the 2610 milliamp battery will last up to 17 hours with mixed usage the phone is a great size and is easy to use with one hand which I really like the textured back also helps you keep your grip and I like the convenience key which you can customize to quickly launch s or an app or action my one complaint is the weight it's just simply too light for my liking and it kind of feels cheap the software is pretty much stock Android although it does come with some edit tweaks like the BlackBerry on-screen keyboard pop-up widgets and the BlackBerry hub which is a one-stop shop for all your email social media alerts text messages and phone calls then there's the D tech app this will help advise you on making your phone more secure right now you can see I only have a fair score because I'm not using a lock screen but if I change it to a pin code it improves to excellent what makes it detect if T special though is the price tag the phone is available unlocked in the US for only 300 dollars although it's only compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and t-mobile we will have a full review of the D tech 50 in the coming weeks over at cnet.com
