Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 617 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and 16GB storage, expandable via microSD up to 256GB. That's a mid-range setup by 2016 standards, enough for everyday apps and browsing without much fuss. The 5.2-inch IPS LCD display runs full HD resolution at 424 ppi, giving decent sharpness for text and video on a screen this size.

The rear camera is a 13MP unit with phase detection autofocus and dual-LED flash, handling stills and 1080p video at 30fps. Up front there's an 8MP camera for selfies and video calls. BlackBerry DTEK50 price in Malaysia starts from RM1399, positioning it as a budget-conscious option rather than a flagship contender.

Battery capacity comes in at 2610mAh, non-removable, which pairs with the Marshmallow-based Android OS to keep the phone running through a typical day. It also carries NFC, GPS with GLONASS and BDS support, stereo speakers, and a noise-cancelling mic setup for calls, rounding out a spec sheet built for practicality over flash.
