The deal is available in the US as well as in a few other countries. The DTEK60 is currently on sale for $579 ($53 off) in Canada, £442 (£33 off) in the UK, and €513 (€66 off) in mainland Europe.

There’s 32 GB of storage available, which is expandable up to 256 GB with the help of a microSD card. Other features of the device include a 21 MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture, a selfie snapper that sports an 8 MP sensor, and a 3,000 mAh battery. It ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow on board.
If you’re in the market for a more affordable mid-range device, the BlackBerry DTEK50 might be more up your alley. It features a 5.2-inch Full HD screen and is powered by the Snapdragon 617 processor. It has 3 GB RAM and comes equipped with a 13 MP primary and an 8 MP secondary camera.
