BlackBerry just announced its second-ever Android smartphone and its an Alcatel clone


BlackBerry has just revealed its first smartphone to follow the Priv, the awfully named DTEK50.
Dtek50 BlackBerry

In something of a surprise move (the phone has been leaked for a while now), the device appears to be built by Alcatel, given it’ s virtually identical to that company’s Idol 4S. The specs certainly are identical:
  • Snapdragon 617
  • 3GB RAM
  • 16 GB Storage
  • 5.2-inch QHD display
  • Micro-USB
  • MicroSD expansion
  • 13MP Rear Camera with phase detection
  • I happen to be reviewing that exact phone at the moment, and it’s a solid device, but I can’t help but feel a little disappointed BlackBerry didn’t choose to create something original after they took a step in the right direction with the Priv. Also, there’s definitely no physical keyboard on this one.
  • Then again, this is meant to be a budget device. The DTEK50 will retail for $299.
    BlackBerry is trying to differentiate itself from Alcatel – and other smartphones – by calling the DTEK50 “the world’s most secure Android smartphone.” That means including a password manager, drive encryption and more.
    The phone is named after its DTEK software, which monitors when your system could be at risk. It will also alert you when applications take photos or videos without your knowledge, turn on your microphone, send a text, etc.
    It’s hard to say whether people really care enough about their privacy to make them choose a BlackBerry over other devices, but at $299, we can’t complain much. The phone is available to pre-order now, and will begin shipping the week of August 8.

I pity President Buhari- Nasir El-Rufai says

Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai says he pities President Buhari because the two times he's become president of Nigeria was when the country was going through rough economic periods. El-Rufai said this while speaking at the Sunday Service of the Latter Rain Assembly which he attended yesterday July 31st. “We have always known that there is massive corruption in Nigeria but the revelations of the past one year have shocked even the most pessimistic of critics. Nearly 70 per cent of Nigeria’s oil revenues disappeared without a trace. Of course, there must be consequences for that. When we sit down with President Buhari these days, I pity him. I pity him because he has always become President anytime Nigeria is in trouble. First, it was after the NPN (National Party of Nigeria) government had almost grounded the economy (in 1984) and now, after a massive looting of the nation’s treasury; and he has to lead the team to fix it”he said Attend Professional Blogging
