BlackBerry DTEK60 put up for pre-order before it's even announced

BlackBerry hasn’t officially announced a phone named the DTEK60, but that hasn’t stopped one retailer from taking pre-orders for the device.

B&H Photo Video is now taking pre-orders for the BlackBerry DTEK60. Pricing is set at $499.99, but unfortunately, there’s no mention of when units might begin shipping.

What the product page does include are several high-quality images of the still-unannounced smartphone and lots of specs. According to B&H, the DTEK60 will include:

• 5.5-inch 2560x1440 AMOLED display
• Snapdragon 820 processor
• 21-megapixel rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, dual-tone flash, and phase detection autofocus
• 8-megapixel front camera
• 4GB of RAM
• 32GB of built-in storage
• microSD slot
• 3,000mAh battery
• Quick Charge 3.0
• USB Type-C
• Fingerprint reader
• Android 6.0

Should these specs hold true, the DTEK60 looks to be a flagship device for BlackBerry and a full-touch counterpart to the Priv. Of course, there are plenty of other high-end Android phones on the market with spec lists similar to the DTEK60’s. BlackBerry looks like it’s going to compete with those phones on price, offering a device with a price tag that’s lower than flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S7, LG V20, HTC 10, and Google Pixel XL.

What do you think of this leaked BlackBerry DTEK60?
