Blackberry has gone through different stages throughout its history, of just under 20 years. With the rise of phablets and all-touch terminals that dispensed with a physical keyboard, the company entered a complex situation that resulted not only in economic losses and a reduction in staff, but also in a decrease in its market share This resulted in the Canadian firm going from being one of the largest in the world in a short time to having an almost residual presence in many of the markets in which it operated. However, this is not unusual, since in consumer electronics, nothing is eternal and success is not something perpetual.
After a discreet reception of some of its terminals with Android in the case of larger formats, the American technology company seems to be ready to once again have a good reception among the public with the landing of several models so far in 2016. The latest to join this trend is the DTEK60, of which some details have been released that we will show you in more depth below. Crisis can also mean opportunity. Do youBlackberry ready to break into a rapidly changing environment again?
Integrated
Before starting to talk about all the features that this phablet will have, it is necessary to clarify that despite having been collected by many specialized portals, they may suffer variations as their launch date approaches. Regarding the characteristics in this field, we echo two striking aspects that show pages such as CNET: Lack of touch keyboard and fingerprint reader. Regarding its dimensions, we would be talking about a 153 × 75 mm terminal that would reach the 165 grams.

Once again, we echo the leaks published by CNET and that have been launched from the Blackberry website. The DTEK60 would have a diagonal of 5,5 inches whose resolution would reach the 2560 × 1440 pixels. This last element would place the Canadian firm's device as one of the most balanced. In the field of cameras, we would find a 21MP rear sensor and a front 8. The rear lens could record content in 4K format and would have functions such as face detector, autofocus and LED flash that we are already used to seeing during other phablets launched in 2016.
Performance
On other occasions we have talked to you about the benefits of this field as indicators that can be useful to include the devices in one of the three large ranges. The next Blackberry phablet would be equipped with a processor Snapdragon 820 whose maximum speed would oscillate between 1,8 and 2,15 Ghz through its four cores. As for memory, I would start with a 4 GB RAM to which is added a Storage capacity of 32 that could be extended to 2 TB via MicroSD cards. Taking into account that currently, the maximum that we have found is around 256 GB, would we be facing a new generation of devices with large memory?
Operating System
Blackberry is a benchmark for many users for equipping their terminals with a series of native apps aimed at security. In the case of this next model, we would also be talking about the presence of Android Marshmallow In the way of protecting the public, it adds some functions such as the control of application permissions by users. In terms of connectivity, the most striking thing is not the fact that it has support for 4G networks, but that it will have a socket USB type C.
Autonomy
The battery, composed of lithium ions, would not be one of the strengths of this phablet at first, since its capacity, of 3.000 mAh, It would be within the usual. However, it would have a technology of fast charge created by Qualcomm. This last feature, and the existence of Doze included in the software, would allow, according to its manufacturers, an autonomy of un day with mixed use, 2 weeks in standby mode and 17 hours of HD video playback.
Availability and price
As we mentioned at the beginning, the characteristics of this device have been leaked through Blackberry's own portal. However, and as is often the case with all models that have not been officially presented, we find several unknowns that are revealed over time. Between the aspects to reveal, would your release date official and its cost. Taking into account some features such as its processor or image properties, it would be logical that the next from Canada would be grouped at the top of the mid-range or even among the highest group of terminals.
Before we mentioned that this company would be preparing several more devices for the final stretch of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, among them, a smaller smartphone called DTEK50 after its tour of other formats such as tablets. After learning more about what can come from the other side of the Atlantic in the coming months, do you think that Blackberry may have a good opportunity that it should take advantage of? Do you think that the firm has already been in the background before the push of other manufacturers that may hinder its entry? You have available more related information about other companies such as Nokia that also aspire to success so that you can give your own opinion.
