Hands on BlackBerry DTEK60 vs Google Pixel By BBRYFLOW

What's up everyone: this is James with bury flow comm helping. You discover, secure mobility today, I'm going to be doing a hands-on comparison of the Blackbird DEC 60 smartphone versus the Google Pixel. Now, for all intents and purposes, the pixel and pixel X L are the same device. However, in this case, the pixel X L is going to be more directly relatable to the Deter 60, as it has a larger high-resolution screen and a bigger battery aside from those three things. However, the pics one pixel XL are going to be identical, ergo, comparing them you're, going to get a lot of insight into both of these devices. If we go to the build first, this is the pixel device made by Google manufactured by HTC.

You've got a mainly unibody quiet black design. Here, nice metal body you'll, see at the top. You've got a glossy glass pane, which is supposedly they are to help with some connectivity. So you've got the antenna. Bands they're connecting an other side, got your fingerprint sensor and the antenna band there.

At the back here, we've got a 12 megapixel camera with laser face, detect autofocus and a dual LED flash among with a bunch of other areas like HDR advanced and some other cool features there. On the right side, you'll see, we've got a textured power button, which is really, really nice to feel, and our volume rocker, all situated on the right side of the device front, is rather understated. You've got a pretty sizable bezel on the top and bottom to accompany the screen. This is a AMOLED screen, so you're going to have nice, rich, colors, deep blacks, all that good stuff on the left of the device. You'll see you've got your SIM card tray, which is going to be accessible here at the bottom.

You've got both speakers and in the center a USB type-c port. This device also does support a headphone jack, so those headphone audio files are gonna, be able to have that access here on the pixel. Something of note that you'll see here is that the device the pixel actually gets fit thicker. As you go up the device. This was to accommodate that camera module without having a camera bulge.

Now we'll put this down, and we'll take a look at the BlackBerry D Tech 60 smartphone. This smartphone absolutely feels premium. You've got glass on the back. You have a nice black fingerprint sensor with a nice little ring. The device actually comes in a what blackberry is calling an earth silver, a very dark gray, but almost brownish hue and I, don't personally like it, I much prefer the kind of gunmetal look of the pixel.

Notwithstanding the D Tech 60 is a beautiful looking device. I've got your dual tone: LED flash in a 21, megapixel camera here on the back. You see, does bulge out a little from the device, but it is not so big a bulge that it really affects. Much of your daily usage. You'll see the device.

Is nice and thin it's a little thinner than the pixel is, and we've got a nice convenience key here that can launch specific apps and shortcuts. We have our volume rockers, which can be found on this side and on the top left. For some reason is the power button for this device very odd, its place there, but it's out of the way, so you're not likely they hit it accidentally, as you might with some other devices at the top. You see, we've got nice, dual sided stereo speakers. These are JBL speakers, you'll find them at the top and bottom of the device, and if we flip it over, they are dual sided.

So you'll see that same speaker array at the top there and also at the bottom, so whether devices face up face down you're, going to get great audio quality from this DEC smartphone, so those are both of the devices. Now again, the screen sizes are not the exact same, nor is the resolution and/or battery on these devices, but for all intents and purposes these are going to be very comparable devices. They both launched late in 2016 and have some of the best flagship specifications you're going to find both devices have four gigabytes of RAM and both are running one of the latest Qualcomm chips, the pixel devices running the Qualcomm 821 chip. Now this is a slightly newer chip, but it's also with down clocked chip, so you're not gonna, get the full power of that 821, whereas if you go to a device such as this you're going to get a lot more of a robust standard, Android experience, the Deter 60 is running the snapdragon 820 and both honestly really fly when working on this so really quite pleased with the performance that you're going to get on both devices. So if we take a look closer into the actual device, one of the main things that comes up quite a bit is the camera and how that functions most people, so in both of these devices I'm going to pull up some shots that I've taken recently, and we're going to get to see how this camera performs.

So these are shots that were done on my D Tech, 60, smartphone and I just to make sure I'm, not in any kind of portrait mode. There hey. Let's take a look. You see the vise runs in a very snappy way. This is a very low light shot, and you see nice color reproductions.

The sky is a little washed out and overexposed, but overall there's really nice detail on the photo. You can really see that this top of the book this bookstore, that I was at actually came in really well. We take some other shots and get a little closer. This is the library downtown here and again nice rich details. So, for all intents and purposes, this 21 megapixel camera is going to be very, very suitable for a lot of uses.

This is a nice video that I was able to take on the device and again this is straight 1080p video it's a little lighter than I would have appreciated it. You can see the camera sometimes has some trouble. Some trouble actually balancing between different light subjects, but overall there is no. Oh, is in this camera, see there's a little of shaker, but for all intents and purposes, you're going to get a great camera setup with this, and it does balance out those colors and lights pretty regularly. Zoom also seems to retain a lot of the detail that you're looking for without getting too washed out and grainy.

So not a lot of noise on the D Tech, 60, camera, and I was appreciative of that here, nice, and I shot HDR scene to capture the sky very well in the building and colors were reproduced very nicely. Here's a shot where you, you don't see as much performance on this camera so much darker shot, but overall that sunlight here is basically totally changing the exposure of this shot and the HDR doesn't do as good a job here actually capturing some details in these smaller areas. Again, a totally usable picture. However, there's a lot more light up here than you'd, like you'd like to see a little more balance between what's happening here and also in the background. So that's some detect, 60 camera samples and again the cameras.

Isthmus seems to struggle in low-light a little more than I would have liked. Overall, the if you take some times get some good lighting. You can get some really, really stunning photos out of this device. We'll put this aside and take a look at the Google Pixel smartphone and how some pictures and camera stuff comes out. This so in taking some shots here, we've got some really, really nice shots of different foliage and things.

So this is just a planter and one thing: you'll notice, right off the bat is that color seemed to reproduce phenomenally on this device. If we take a look further back into our catalog here, you'll see some really, really interesting shots. These were some of these taking on the D Tech 60, others we're taking it on the pixel. So if I focus on some shots that were taken on the pixel I'll jump back here and really get a nice array of some shots here, so these are some shots of the actual sand, and you see some even the footprints get shown up here closer in you see we get nice detail, everything stays crisp and Unfocus, even as I zoom in you get some nice color balance here and another shot that was taken here. You see if I zoom in closer on this photo you're going to get a nice there we go.

We got a nice shot here. The pixel camera does an excellent job of balancing out. You've got the nice blurred background, while the arm and the phone are absolutely in focus, and again you get super crispy shots, even zoomed in and the pixel performs remarkably well at this even sliding over. Here you get a lot of the same where the back of the device you see, all of that's kind of blurred out, but the device in the subject in the photo stays absolutely in frame and in focus, and I was really astounded by how well the pixel camera performed. Overall, both cameras are very strong and, as you can see here, even in low-light, the pixel seems to nail the HDR not too much color coming in from the back, and you can still see this sign.

It's not washed out and exposed very impressed with what we're seeing here on both cameras on both devices, but overall I have to say the camera section is going to go to the pixel for being way more consistent with the lighting and exposures, where the DEC 60 sometimes asked the hunt to get you those same types of shots. So, while the camera battle goes to the D Tech 60 I, think overall, the build in design has to go to the D Tech 60 well, I feel like the camera section is going to go to the pixel device. I feel like build section is absolutely going to go to the D Tech 60. The pixels are just rather boring. There's not a lot going on here.

You've got the fingerprint sensor. You've got the nice unibody design, but that's about it. I find the bezels are a little too large on this phone compared to the D Tech 60, it's much more reasonable. Also, D, Tech 60 has again that glass back, which feels way more premium and overall, it just feels like much solid. More solid device in you've got the nice banding between what you see here on the top and bottom speakers, everything's feel centered and balanced, and the device feels unique.

You also get as well that convenience key, which is very, very helpful and some other nice additions to the hardware as well. On the hardware side, this nice aluminum frame with the chambered edge just really looks sleek in the hand and I get a lot more. Compliments on the way this device looks then I do the Google Pixel, so I'll. Leave that, to you know the individual opinion, but I give this section a build quality to the D Tech's 60. Now another major important aspect of phones is going to be the screens.

Both of these screens are AMOLED panels. Now, in direct comparison, both phones have the exact same screen. The pixel has a slightly smaller 5-inch screen, that's at a 1080p resolution, whereas the pixel XL has basically the same quad HD 5.5 screen that you're going to see here on the D Tech 60 I've, seen comparisons done of the pixel XL and the D Tech 60, and a lot of people are saying that the pixel XL edges out just a hair in terms of the colors and saturations well, from what I've seen on both panels, I seem to appreciate in like the D Tech 60 quad HD display, which is very sharp and saturated without getting too crazy and too over saturated. So I find that's really of nice value now. Some things to also keep in mind here.

If the software experience is going to be totally different when we look at the software experience, we're looking at a version of Android nougat 7.1 here on the Google Pixel, whereas we're looking at a version of marshmallow six-point 0.1 here on the B Tech 60, we didn't get a lot more of the latest and greatest from Google on a pixel, whereas you're going to get the latest and greatest from what BlackBerry's implementation of Android is on the D Tech 60. Overall, the software experience has got to go to the pixel. Although there's a lot that I like on the D Tech 60, for instance, you got these quick shortcuts that are really handy. You've got the productivity edge which pulls in your hub. Your contacts and your calendar events and as well you've got more options just on this basic home screen.

You can see here. I've got my compacts and other additives to the experience that really make the DEC 6d software standout, not only that there's a whole slew of applications such as the Deter app. It allows you to monitor your security. A lot of that is lacking here, pixel, very basic launcher. You slide up as your apps look around and that's about it.

While everything is fast and accessible, I like some features here within the launcher that allows you to sort by most used alphabetical, newest, most use and, of course, the classic set up this in these small features really make. The whole experience come together, more succinctly on the DEC smartphone, rather than the pixel. So, on the last picture, we've got battery life and I will say that most of these phones, these days have awesome batteries. I'll say here, though, that the Google Pixel seems to edge out here just a hair, with having better battery optimization on nougat than marshmallow, while that may come down to the overall Hardware. Let me know what you guys think in the comments between these two smartphones in this comparison, I personally, like the Tech 60, smartphone, better as a personal device.

For me, it has more well-rounded of features. The speakers are really great, whereas the speakers are rather lacking on the bottom facing speakers here on the pixel I appreciate a lot of up design the screen and everything else about the D, Tech, smartphone and I. Think one of the biggest points here is that, while the pixel comes in at near $700800, you can get a D Tech 64 right around $4.99 I mean that's crazy. If you think about it, if you take a look at performance, and you'll, see D Tech, 60 nails in it from a performance perspective, if I close all of these out- and we make sure there's no apps open whatsoever, and we relaunch that hub. You'll see pixel edges it out by just a small bit.

There's really not much of a performance difference here. So with that in mind, I think there's a lot to like about what you get with the D Tech 60. You get premium hardware at a fantastic price, $4.99 you're, going to save about 2 to 250 between these two devices, so I absolutely recommend you go check out a blackboard e-text 60 for yourself and choose it over a Google Pixel, because this is the device that you really are going to want and, of course, BlackBerry will bring the device to new get in the new year. So you're going to get the latest and greatest of Android just going to take a little time along the way you're going to get those monthly security updates and all the other BlackBerry goodness that comes with their individual application updates. You've got a great camera on both devices: the battery life 3000 William, both support, USB, type-c and quick charging.

You really cannot go wrong with to detect 60 smartphones from blackberry, save your pennies, invest in other things and get up one of these devices. This has been jams with berry for calm. Thank you. So much for watching.
