Alcatel and Blackberry are quite similar when it comes to design. However, the major difference in both the devices is back cover. Alcatel has used a 2.5D glass at the back while blackberry has rubberised matte cover which offers better grip.

Both devices are being manufactured by TCL and probably because the DTEK50 is a rebranded version of Alcatel Idol 4 and the company has reached an agreement with TCL (Alcatel OneTouch’s parent company) as its hardware partner for this device.
