TORONTO: BlackBerry Ltd unveiled a second Android-based handset on July 26, a device combining Alphabet Inc's popular software and broad app catalogue with the Canadian company's security and productivity features at a lower price. 

The faded smartphone pioneer is hoping the DTEK50 will sell in greater numbers than the Priv, its first phone using the Android operating system, which chief executive John Chen has said suffered because of its high price.
