The concern for ultimate security on our mobile devices have never been more common than now. And by playing a wise card, the Canadian company is controlling the game by implementing the idea that, their mobile does live up to the reputation of keeping your personal privacy to the safest possible. That being said, such protection of security is the first advantage you can have when buying this model. The second good thing you can enjoy about BlackBerry DTEK50 review is that, the phone features a very nice combination of specs for a pretty affordable price: 3GB RAM, octa core, 13MP and 2610 mAH battery for roughly a USD 300 price tag.
However, along with the advantages we enjoy, there are 2 things we would love to see some improvements from the company. The first shortcoming BlackBerry DTEK50 is facing is its copy-cat design. Probably the Canadian company didn’t really focus on giving it a premium and unique look. Actually, the firm has confirmed they used the reference from TCL manufacturer, explaining why many people have been saying BlackBerry DTEK50 looks just like Alcatel Idol 4. The second drawback is that, the smartphone, despite its outstanding security, is definitely lacking appeals. Besides the basic smartphone features, there is not much to talk about.

Like most things, BlackBerry DTEK50 sure has its own weak and strong points. However, we would love to appreciate the effort of the Canadian company this time, after a long period of struggling, when their products kept coming at high price and lack of updates from the trends. Would you buy DTEK50 with $300?

BlackBerry Venice is already very famous among us tech geeks. I bet you all know by now that it is BlackBerry’s first Android smartphone ever. I bet you also remember some of the noticeable BlackBerry Venice specs are 3GB RAM, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, 18MP camera and Snapdragon 808 processor. If these are true, then you have definitely not forget the company promised a November launch for this much anticipated smartphone.
The BlackBerry Venice launch is is coming closer. But it seems like we have not known the flagship’s real name through this whole time. Curious? According to Even Blass, you have always been the source for BlackBerry news, just hinted that the BlackBerry Venice official name at release will be BlackBerry Priv.
BlackBerry Venice real pic leaked
BlackBerry Priv? What does Priv even stand for? Well, there are tons of explanation for it. It can simply be a random choice. Or it can bear a very special meaning to the company. It can also be BlackBerry’s business strategy, to give a curious name and have people talk around it.
Together with the leak about the official BlackBerry Priv name, there are more news coming up. @Pootermobile, a talented designer and Team BlackBerry member has introduced renders of the BlackBerry Slider, or BlackBerry Venice, or BlackBerry Priv with various choices of colors. While we are already so used with the leaking images of the BlackBerry Venice (or Priv) with black cover, these renders provide a fun and bright collection for the device.
Although up to now, either of the news is finalized yet, they come from pretty much reliable sources. So are looking for more interesting details to show up for the next two months, until the day BlackBerry Venice is officially introduced to our market.
BlackBerry Priv color optionsBlackBerry Priv color options
Meanwhile, don’t hesitate to share with us your thoughts about these. Which name do you prefer? BlackBerryPriv or Venice? And are you a fan of elegant black-covered smartphone or one with colorful options?
So do you still remember our previous post about the leaking of a new BlackBerry smartphone that runs on Android OS – The Blackberry Venice? Yes, it’s been a while already. But we just got new updates from @evleaks – who has seemed to be the source for all BlackBerry Venice leaks so far. According to a tweet Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) shared recently, it looks like this BlackBerry’s slider is ready to hit the shelves in November – which is 3 months from now.
So what does the Venice from BlackBerry look like?
On very first impression, the BlackBerry Venice is expected to feature a large display that can slide up to reveal the iconic physical keyboard from BlackBerry. As we collected from some sources, there is also another possibility that the Venice smartphone will have curved edges like that of a Samsung GalaxyS6 Edge.
From the last leaks, we have known that Venice smartphone will be the first BlackBerry device to run on Android OS and we guessed it could be the latest Lollipop version back then. However, since Android 6.0 Marshmallowwas set for an upcoming release in the next few weeks, it now seems like the Venice will have this latest OS from Google.
Together with the new Android OS, the BlackBerryVenice is hoped to pack a combination of flagship features to meet public’s demands. BlackBerry Venice specs possibly include 5.4 inchQHD display, a Snapdragon 808 processor and strong-enough 3GB RAM. If the Venice really goes with curved screen from Samsung, it will also feature AMOLED display.
Tech geeks everywhere have always said that BlackBerry should have featured Android OS long before. So with unique design, BlackBerry signature keyboard and popular Android OS under one device, the Venice is very potential of becoming the next awaited flagship and do BlackBerry great business if the price is right.
BlackBerry Venice: price, release date and availability
As mentioned above, leaked by @evleaks, there said to be a November launch of the Venice. However, this is not finalized and confirmed by the company yet.
For now, we did not know about the Venice price and availability – but hope BlackBerrywill have a right strategy this time when the smartphone industry is being more competitive than ever before.
Blackberry, the big, famous, and with long tradition company has been a very popular and influential name in the mobile market. Its products are always top notch, and it seems Blackberry will continue to sell well, despite a lot of other Android competitors. Recently, we heard about Blackberry Passport Silver Edition, which is the official name for Blackberry Dallas or Blackberry Oslo.
A leaked photo of Blackberry Dallas / Oslo shows that its official name will be Blackberry Passport Silver Edition. This is not very surprising, since Blackberry Dallas design is very similar to Blackberry Passport design anyways.
The most significant difference between Blackberry Passport Silver Edition with the old one is its camera. Blackberry Passport Silver Edition camera is a 13MP one with led flash.
Blackberry Passport Silver Edition camera has a round shape instead .
Blackberry Passport Silver Edition will sported a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, 3G RAM and 3450mAh battery. Additionally, 32GB of internal storage and microSD support are also available.
Blackberry Passport is the original version with a very high price tag.
We do not have any official news for the date it will be released yet, so many things below are leaked and rumoured which needs to be confirmed. In the mean time, you can read more about other Blackberry here, or you can take a look at what’s new from other older, big company like Nokia.
Blackberry Passport Silver Edition price will be cheaper than Blackberry Passport as well, for around $539 according to the leaked specs and news. Let’s hope it will come here soon, so we can tell you how much Blackberry Passport Silver Edition price in the Philippines would be.
Several days ago, a gallery of live photos showcasing the unannounced BlackBerry Oslo made it everywhere over the internet. Rumors are indicating that the smartphone is a look-alike of Blackberry’s previous Blackberry Passport. This is the first time we’re getting a look at the actual device, though the Canadia company unveiled few renders earlier back in April.
BlackBerry Oslo: a replica in design of the company previous Blackberry Passport device?
BlackBerry Oslo features slightly round corners. The device goes with a metal frame and the back is covered by textured rubber. The Blackberry smartphone signature, 3-row QWERTY keyboard will obviously appear in this flagship.
Blackberry Oslo Specs
In terms of specs, Blackberry Oslo packs a square-ish, 1440 x 1440 pixels display. The device is powered by Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor and 3GB of RAM. It also sports beautiful 13MP rear camera and 3,450 mAH battery.
Well, at the time when we already have smartphones with powerful 4GB RAM like Asus Zenfone 2 and Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs huge 4,000mAH battery (or even more) like the Lenovo K80 and Vivo X5 Pro, 3GB RAM and 3,450 mAH don’t sound really appealing. But to be really fair, such combination that Blackberry Olso carries is quite impressive. If nothing changes, by the time Blackberry Olso launch date, it could attract huge attention from consumers thanks to the famous brand names going together with unique design and good specs.
It’s said that the BlackBerry Oslo should be officially announced later this month, on June 30, and could be released shortly after that in Europe and Asia. And for now, we know no more about whether it will arrive in Philippines or not; as well as the Blackberry Oslo price when released. Hopefully it will offer a soft price tag so that more people can experience this Giant’s return after a long time being silent.

The noticeable design between Z20 & Z3 is quite different which needless to say the Rio is probably much more advantage.
