BlackBerry earlier this week launched its latest Android smartphones in India, the DTEK50 and DTEK60. The DTEK50 is the more affordable of the two, priced at Rs. 21,990, while the DTEK60 is a premium offering, priced at Rs. 46,990.
The new BlackBerry Android smartphones both feature impressive specifications, and run Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the Canadian company's customisations on top. It is these customisations, along with the promise of prompt security updates, that BlackBerry touts as the reasons to call the DTEK50 and DTEK60 the 'world's most secure Android smartphones'.
The BlackBerry DTEK50 will become available to buy in India by this weekend, while the BlackBerry DTEK60 will go on sale in India only in early December. Ahead of our full review of the two smartphones, we've created a first look video for you, and you can check it out above.
