Detailed comparison of performance, camera, and specs between BlackBerry Priv and DTEK60.
Comparative analysis: BlackBerry DTEK60 vs. Priv
DTEK60 is slimmer, lighter with higher specs but lacks the signature physical keyboard found in BlackBerry Priv.
Priv was BlackBerry's first Android smartphone, while DTEK60, the third, launched on 15/11 at 13.99 million VND, pricier than both Passport and Priv.
Both DTEK60 and Priv target the premium phablet market, featuring AMOLED 2K displays. DTEK60 has a 5.5-inch screen, slightly larger than Priv by 0.1 inch, yet appears more compact overall.
BlackBerry's new Android model drops the Priv's slide-down physical keyboard, yet its virtual keyboard's predictive text feature, supporting Vietnamese, enables swift typing with swipe gestures.
The DTEK60 features curved front edges but lacks the Priv's edge-to-edge curved screen. Both models have a hidden toolbar at the screen's edge.
The newer DTEK60 model boasts brighter and sharper displays, despite similar screen technology, resolution, and size.
BlackBerry's latest Android smartphone opts for less common materials: a metal frame with a glossy brown glass back. The DTEK60's rear is shiny but fingerprint-prone, while the Priv's carbon-patterned back also attracts sweat and looks slightly dated.
Both models have prominent rear cameras. The Priv features an 18MP camera with f/2.2 aperture, OIS, and dual flash. The newer model sports a 21MP camera with f/2.0 aperture and dual flash, minus the OIS.
Similar photography features, including Manual mode, 4K and 1080p 60fps video recording, and Slow-Motion. The DTEK60 boasts faster camera startup and shooting speeds thanks to upgraded specs.
The DTEK60 features an 8MP front camera, a significant upgrade from the 'sibling's' 2MP. Additionally, it boasts dual speakers at the top and bottom of the screen, unlike the Priv's single bottom speaker.
DTEK60 adds a fingerprint sensor on the back for an extra locking method, while Priv relies on a picture password, unique from stock Android. Both BlackBerry smartphones incorporate the DTEK security tool, enabling app and software activity control.
At just 7mm, the DTEK60 is significantly slimmer than the 9.4mm thick Priv. It's also lighter at 165g compared to Priv's 192g. Both support fast charging, but DTEK60 uses USB-Type C and QuickCharge 3.0, versus Priv's 2.0. Despite being thicker, Priv has a larger 3,410mAh battery, exceeding DTEK60's by 410mAh.
Both run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with minimal customization from Google's version, yet DTEK60 performs smoother and faster than Priv. It has 4GB RAM and a Snapdragon 820 chip, outperforming the predecessor's 3GB RAM and Snapdragon 808. DTEK60's AntutuBenchmark score exceeds 133,000, doubling that of Priv and matching or surpassing competitors like Xperia XZ, LG V20, and HTC 10.
