Ukuphehlelelwa kwemodeli yokuqala yeBlackBerry kunye ne-ecosystem ye-Android ibe yenye yekalika kunye nesanti. Inkampani ifumene uphononongo oluhle kakhulu ngeBlackBerry Priv, kodwa ixabiso layo alikhange lihambe nayo nangaliphi na ixesha ukuze ibe lukhetho lokuba kuluhlu oluphezulu, apho iApple kunye neSamsung kusekumkani. Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo iBlackBerry yasungula i-DTEK50 kunye ne-DTEK60 inkampani ifuna ukunamathela entloko phakathi kuluhlu Ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zokuhamba okukhuselekileyo kweenkampani, kodwa bebengakulungelanga ukutyala imali eninzi kwisiphelo ngasinye.
Ezi modeli zamva nje, esele zikhona kwimarike, sele yenziwe yi-TCL, enamalungelo okusebenzisa igama kwiitheminali ezizisa kwintengiso kwihlabathi liphela, ngaphandle kwamazwe ama-5, apho iBlackBerry kuye kwafuneka ifikelele isivumelwano nenye inkampani ukuze siyenze kwaye siyithengise. Ngaphambili besesikuxelele malunga nesiphelo esiza kuqaliswa yinkampani yaseCanada kwintengiso, iBlackBery Mercury, i-terminal ebandakanya ukubuyela kwebhodi yezitshixo ebonakalayo kwiitheminali zenkampani.
Namhlanje sikubonisa imifanekiso emibini emitsha yale ndawo intsha, isiphelo sendlela apho eyona nto ibalaseleyo kwikhibhodi ebonakalayo, ethi izakuhlanganisa isivamvo somnwe esibonisa isithuba ukuvula ibala kwitheminali. Ukongeza, ikwasinika amaqhosha amathathu okubamba abekwe ezantsi nje kwescreen, esiya kuthi sivumele ukuba sinxibelelane ngokukhawuleza kunye ne-terminal xa sisebenzisa ikhibhodi ebonakalayo. Umzimba wesixhobo wenziwe ngealuminium kwaye njengoko sinokubona kwimifanekiso, isikrini siya kuba namacala egobile. Ngaphakathi siya kufumana i-Snapdragon 821, iprosesa efanayo esetyenziswayo ngoku kwi-DTEK 60. Ngokubhekisele kwibhetri, ukugcinwa kwangaphakathi okanye imemori ye-RAM, akukho lwazi luye lwaphuma
