Blackview BV8000 Pro

If you are the kind of phone user who can’t avoid dropping your phone once in a while this Chinese manufacturer may have an answer for you in the Blackview BV8000 Pro. While phones these days are getting slimmer than slim they aren’t getting any tougher like the bygone era of your mother's Nokia 3310, which is still the running gag among users who remembers it even in 2017. The Blackview BV8000 Pro was originally unveiled at the MWC 2017. Let's take a look at what the phone offers. The first thing to note here is this phone is IP68 rated which means it is both dust and water resistant up to a depth of 1.5 m for 30 minutes. While it has the said rating this device doesn’t have any protective covers for its connectors. This is a little awkward although Blackview has made sure the connectors themselves are impermeable. In terms of chassis material and construction the Blackview BV8000 Pro is made out of a mixture of some rubber dampeners and plastic, no metal chassis here. Depending on your take, this is either disappointing or a smart move, although it is understandable as metal chassis tend to dent. Overall, the rigidity is as advertised with no noticeable flex. Hardware-wise the Blackview BV8000 Pro is powered by a Mediatek Helio P20 MT6757 chip, 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage with expandability via the microSD slot. The Blackview BV8000 Pro is also equipped with a Sharp IGZO FHD screen, which has excellent color reproduction and is also quite reasonably bright even when used outdoors under sunlight. Adding to its rugged theme the panel is also protected with Corning’s Gorilla glass 3. As with most smartphones these days the Blackview BV8000 Pro is also equipped with a fingerprint reader which is located on the back of the chassis. Moving along to software the Blackview BV8000 Pro is pre-installed with Android 7 Nougat with unusual software such as an Earthquake Warning System, Sound Meter and a Heart Rate app. This might prove useful and isn’t the usual bloatware users have come to expect of most android devices. Fortunately, as bloatware is kept at a minimum. In terms of performance everything ran smoothly as expected. However, the performance is somewhat mildly disappointing when compared to competitors. Lastly the Blackview BV8000 Pro is equipped with a 4180 mAh battery which should keep this device satiated in its power needs. Normal usage shows that the phone tops out at 27 hours on a single charge while on 3G, which is about on par or even slightly better than most smartphones out there. Being a rugged phone, the Blackview BV8000 Pro might suit professionals at a relatively affordable price. However, when compared to its predecessor it seems that it is less balanced this time around.

Outdoor heavyweight. With the BV8000 Pro, Blackview brings an update to its outdoor smartphone series that is the successor to the BV7000. The features are remarkable: 6 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, Full HD display, and a 16 Megapixel camera. In addition, it is IP-68 certified and has a fingerprint sensor and some other sensors that might be helpful in an outdoor smartphone.

Of course, you should be treating everything you own with a reasonable amount of care, but sometimes accidents just happen. Maybe you’re prone to dropping your phone in the toilet, or maybe you work outdoors in the rain a lot. Maybe you’re just really clumsy. Either way, a rugged phone might be for you, and right now, the Blackview BV8000 Pro is a great choice at a reasonable price.

Blackview BV7000 Review
Source: Yugatech English Archive.org version
The low price point $143.99 (roughly Php7319.30 before taxes and other fees), the mid-range hardware, lack of updates, and security features are a small compromise for what is an almost indestructible build. If you’re looking for a low-cost, hard-wearing phone that is suitable for travel and an active lifestyle, then the BV7000 might be worth looking into.

Blackview BV9000 Pro

There aren’t many smartphone makers that make rugged phones anymore. Many manufacturers used to have a dedicated series for their rugged phones and these phones were usually on the low-end side with nothing much to offer other than their solid built quality, water and dust resistance and a much bigger and heavier body. These days, only one large phone maker makes rugged phones and its none other than Samsung with their Galaxy S-Active series. However, a new Chinese company called Blackview is slowly becoming well-known for their rugged phones. The Blackview BV9000 Pro is their latest offering. For a start, it has a Mediatek Helio O25 processor with the ARM Mali-T880 GPU. Coupled with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB ROM, it should offer a very respectable performance. The display is a 5.7-inch IPS screen with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and a resolution of 1,440 x 720 pixels. If there is one huge let down in this device, it is definitely the screen. The display offers decent outdoor visibility and sharpness but its low resolution definitely shows in some areas especially video playback. The rear optics has a dual camera setup with a 13 megapixel and a 5 megapixel f/2.2 shooter. Photo quality is decent and the portrait mode is a plus point considering that this device is a budget phone. Low light images on the other hand appear to be a disaster and nothing much can be adjusted to get a proper shot. The camera shoots videos in 4k. But again, do not expect much from a budget device. The front camera has a 8 megapixel sensor and selfies taken with this camera are decent enough to be posted on facebook and Instagram. The Blackview BV9000 Pro is shipped with a heavily customized Android 7.1 Nougat. However, even with all the customization, performance it is still good with no lags while switching between apps or running heavier apps. Being a rugged phone, it does look and feel huge. It weighs in at 253 grams and has a dimension of 81.1 x 162.0 x 13.4 mm. It has a rather unique hexagon kind of shape with a big chin and forehead. The bezels on the side are very slim, making it look like a well-designed 2017 device. The device does not have a headphones jack but is supplied with a USB type-C to 3.5mm audio jack cable. An OTG cable is also supplied in the box just like how Samsung does it. The physical buttons has been replaced with on-screen buttons and the physical buttons for volume adjustment and power feel nice and have a good click to it. The phone has a IP-68 rating and its ports are covered with flaps to avoid water damage. Its rugged body assures that the phone will survive a few drops. The Blackview 9000 Pro is shipped with a massive 4180 mAh battery and the supplied fast charger can give it a full charge in about 1.5 hours. The Blackview 9000 Pro is certainly a good looking rugged phone with good specs and battery life. Its lower price point makes it easier to purchase for users who are in need for a rugged phone without adding a casing to a normal phone. In the past, they’d have to fork out a larger amount to get a Samsung device. However, the screen resolution is a letdown, but for its price, this is forgivable.

Powerful brick. Back in August, we had the BV8000 Pro in review. Today, we are proud to present its successor, the BV9000, and you better watch out: That thing is a massive brick and most likely tougher than a human being. It also marks a point in time where Blackview is the only OEM with two current outdoor smartphones listed in our database. The newcomer shares several features with its own predecessor. In some aspects Blackview has managed to improve upon the phone, in others the company has made it worse. Let’s take a closer look and find out what exactly this means in our extensive review of the BV9000.

Blackview BV9700 Pro

The Blackview BV 9700 Pro is a one of a kind rugged smartphone model specially designed to withstand the most extreme of extremities. It is built for the outdoor and it is built to last longer than one would have normally expected in environments that are harsh beyond reasonable belief. The Blackview BV 9700 Pro’s very creation is based off the common blueprint of a rugged smartphone model in which it is commonly referred to in occasions of outdoor excursions and heavy duty labor in various kinds of geographical environment. What puts the word ‘Pro’ into Blackview BV 9700 Pro are the impressive features and stellar specifications that both come with the device itself which leave no room for mistakes in the most arduous of environments. First and foremost, the Blackview BV 9700 Pro is equipped with allegedly the most intelligent processor ever. Whether this is a marketing ploy or not, the Helio P70 processor is nevertheless a dauntless octa-core processor chip which proves the point and secures itself a solid standing for potentially being the most intelligent processor ever to exist. This is attributed to the very fact that the Helio P70 processor is capable of clocking out at a performance rate of up to 525 MHz thanks to the incorporation of the powerful ARM Cortex A73/A53 CPU complex. Compared to the previous unit (Helio P60), the Helio P70 has recorded a significant increase of 13 % faster clock speeds. The integration of the Helio P70 processor within the Blackview BV 9700 Pro paves the way towards great success while also clipping lesser to non-existent errors. The features that were being carefully put together within the Blackview BV 9700 Pro comprise of and are not limited to the inclusion of a VOC Air Quality Detection sensor. The VOC Air Quality Detection sensor assists the users of the Blackview BV 9700 Pro in detecting indoor air pollutants within the perimeter where the user would presently inhibit. The VOC Air Quality Detection sensor is able to pick up a large range of manufactured or organic chemical compounds that have polluted the air serves as a cautionary alert for the user to preemptively vacate a highly condensed area before breathing in too much hazardous compounds in the air due to the lack of proper equipment. This feature will undoubtedly aid in a lot of rescue efforts as well as for the analysis of air quality for research or documenting purposes. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

Blackview BV5900

Blackview has always been known for its effort in producing rugged smartphones that are protective against drop-down damages and also comes with shock absorption, dust and waterproof and battery temperature support. This is definitely an applaudable effort as it caters for the workers who are likely to deal with unpredictable circumstances in the working environment. Having said that, the latest Blackview BV5900, is no different. This phone has been introduced with an all in all shock, water and dustproof. The overall industry-leading rugged rubber covering makes BV5900 more stringent as compared to any of Blackview’s previous lines. In addition, the silicone layer and multiple rigid layers which has been incorporated within this model definitely adds an extra value when it comes to absorbing shock. This obviously improves the overall user experience. Apart from that, the IP68 and IP69K certification also ensures its 1.5m deep waterproof support which can eradicate user’s fear if the phone was accidentally dropped in the water. The 5.7 inches HD AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is definitely undefeatable in its presentation. It caters for fabulous visual experience for users while watching videos or even when hovering on YouTube. The phone also provides a resolution which is up to 720p screen resolution. This again, improves the overall user experience.

As compared to all the previous rugged smartphones, this model comes in with a futuristic look which has been inspired by the science-fictional space capsule design. BV5900 comes in three different colors namely orange, army green and black for users to choose from based on individual preferences. With its waterproof capability and durability, this phone is definitely the best choice for those who love mountain biking, fishing, surfing or any kind of water or sport adventures. This smartphone will definitely heighten the user experience to an entirely new level. However, it should be noted that this model was mainly intended for diverse and hardcore professionals which makes it quite a disappointment for all the gamers out there. But, the 3GB of RAM can definitely cater for decent game playing but nothing over the top per say. In contrast though, the MT67961 Quad-Core 2.0 GHz processor can obviously boost other app performances within the smartphone. There is also 32GB RAM and expandable memory support up to 128GB for a large number of photos and videos storing. In terms of its battery, BV5900 has been incorporated with a massive 5580mAh battery which is said to be able to keep the phone alive for nearly 600 hours in standby mode. Even when gaming, the phone can stand for up to 12 hours overall. As for the camera, BV5900 has a 13-megapixel IMX214 rear camera which allows photo snapping just like a professional photographer. There is also a 0.3-megapixel sub camera to automatically adjust the field depth along with a 5-megapixel selfie camera. But, the best part about this phone has to be its waterproof capability which allows underwater photo shooting. Every smartphone does come in with its own unique features and flaws but there is definitely somebody out there who would benefit from it in a way on its own.

73% Blackview BV5900 Smartphone Review – Outdoor Smartphone with Long Battery Life | Notebookcheck
The Blackview BV5900 is an outdoor smartphone with a good protection class and a large battery. It doesn't even cost 200 Euros and could be a real bargain if you need a phone for harsh environments. We'll take a closer look at the smartphone in the review.

We find it difficult to recommend the Blackview BV5900 for two reasons: It is not competitive with existing smartphones including Blackview’s very own BV6800 Pro and its components are likely to struggle under load as clearly indicated by our benchmark results. Save yourself from commiseration and choose something else, there’s plenty of other superior ruggedised smartphones out there. Blackview will have to drop the price of the BV5900 by at least 40% for us to even consider it as a worthy candidate.

Blackview BV9800 Pro Review: Budget Rugged Phone With Thermal Camera
Source: Extreme Tech English Archive.org version
I didn’t find the native launcher particularly intuitive, but you can always load your own (I tried Nova Launcher and it worked fine). My biggest disappointment was with the quality of the main (RGB) camera, especially given the 48MP sensor. Blackview makes a big deal out of Night Mode, for example, but it is not as good as either Google’s or Huawei’s. The captured JPEGs also aren’t quite as good as they could be given the high-resolution sensor. Blackview could do a lot to address that by supporting RAW capture, at least in third-party camera apps, but says it has no plans to do so. Then again, it is a $500 phone with a ton of other features, so it isn’t entirely fair to compare image quality to a typical $700+ flagship model. Plus, if you need thermal imaging, the only other smartphone-based solutions will cost you twice as much.

There’s no two ways to put it; the BV9800 Pro remains the best way to get a FLIR/thermal imaging device; it is cheaper than buying the separate FLIR accessory that plugs into a smartphone although you will be able to pick up the older Cat S60 for as little as $353.

The Blackview BV8800 is an interesting smartphone for its incredibly rugged build, the solid all-around package, the Night Vision camera and the giant battery with fast charging. And the best part, it is reasonably priced at about €350. If you need a rugged smartphone with reasonably good hardware and solid user experience across the board, we do recommend giving this Blackview BV8800 a try. In fact, the BV8800 or the BL8800 Pro should be around the top of your shortlist if you want a rugged phone with a Night Vision or a FLIR thermal camera. You won't be disappointed. It's not a Galaxy S22 Ultra, sure, but it's not a sluggish CAT phone either.

Blackview BV7200 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Blackview BV7200 smartphone got decent specs with a robust build and you are getting various other interesting things with this phone. Not to forget, the hardware is designed to support your daily task, and a sleek UI experience with the software, all of this combined makes this phone a great deal. But at the same time, we can’t overlook the flaws of this phone, such as average brightness, resolution, mediocre camera, and slow charging. If those factors don’t concern you much and at the same time, you are a Blackview phone fan, only then you should go with this phone. Apart from this, if you are looking for a decent deal on rugged phones at a similar price point, we suggest you should check out the Ulefone Armor 17 Pro as it provides all of the things that are necessary for the armored phone. In the end, choose the phone that fits your needs.

72% Blackview BV9200 review
Source: GSM Arena English
The Blackview BV9200 competes in a fairly niche segment where only a few smartphone makers compete. Nevertheless, Blackview managed to put together quite a capable device, offering a significant upgrade over its predecessor while introducing some scarce features in the €300 price category. Even when put against "normal" smartphones. We believe the handset strikes a nice balance between ruggedness and modern features. Sure, the Helio G96 SoC isn't amazing, but it seems to be doing just fine with the 120Hz display and in the context of Android 12 OS. We are also surprised to see the ultrawide camera with autofocus, 256GB of standard storage + dedicated microSD card slot, fast 66W charging and impressive 30W wireless charging. One of the few downsides of the BV9200 is its inadequate display brightness and battery life. As an outdoor-centric smartphone, we would have wished for better sunlight legibility and much longer battery life. As far as alternatives go, we found the Ulefone Armor 17 Pro to be the closest match as it features roughly the same hardware, albeit being more expensive. The Ulefone contender has a bigger battery and a night vision camera on its side but skips the stereo speakers and offers slower wireless charging. So at the end of the day, the BV9200 is a well-balanced rugged phone that implements many of the essential 2023 features without breaking the bank.

A highly practical design that ditched battery capacity to be easier to carry and use. While not fans of Doke-OS interface and its associated bloatware, this is still a powerful device that could be invaluable to those working outdoors.

Blackview BV9200 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
After checking each of the sections of the Blackview BV9200, the phone is looking for an incredible option in the armored segment. It offers high-end built quality with top-notch material. Although, the device can be heavy for some users because of the additional material used on the phone’s body. Anyway, the hardware section will handle the performance aspect properly, while the software end with an advanced refresh rate giving a decent experience. Overall, battery optimization is also great for watching favorite content and enjoying social media. In short, you can consider this phone if you have no problem with the 4G connectivity. But if you are looking for something different, then we suggest you should look for the Ulefone Armor 17 Pro as an alternative option. It got better perks and it cost slightly higher than this phone.

80% Blackview BV9300 Measuring Edition review
Source: Techradar English
Our experience with the BV9300 was heavily coloured by being sent a model built for the Russian market. It refused to connect to the Google servers, making it essentially useless for anything that uses Google apps or services. This phone comes in two flavours, one with an ample LED light on the rear, the “Lighting” model, and the one we got, the ‘Measuring’ version. If you haven’t guessed, the critical feature of this model is a laser beam (or is it infra-red?) that allows the phone to measure distances with a reasonable level of accuracy.

At that price, this is one of the cheapest thermal imaging smartphones you can buy. In fact, an add-on InfiRay P2 Pro thermal camera for Android smartphones will alone set you back $300! If you're looking for an Android phone with thermal capability built in, this phone deserves a second look.

Comment

Blackview:

This brand from the Blackview International Group was created in Hong Kong in 2013. Smartphones are the focus of marketing.

However, there are only few reviews and the market shares are very low (2016).


Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

ARM Mali-T860 MP2: Dual-Core version of the Mali-T860 graphics card from ARM for mostly Android based smartphones and tablets. E.g. in the Mediatek Helio P10 clocked at 700 MHz and produced in 28nm.

PowerVR GE8322 / IMG8322: Entry level graphics card based on the PowerVR Rogue architecture with support for OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

ARM Mali-G57 MP2: Integrated mid range graphics card with 2 clusters. Based on the Valhall architecture.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

ARM Mali-T880 MP2: Mobile graphics solution for tablets and smartphones, which can be found in ARM SoCs (for mostly Android based devices). The Mali-T880 can be built with 1 to 16 clusters, where the MP2 version features 2 clusters/cores.

ARM Mali-G71 MP2: Integrated GPU that can be found e.g. in the Mediatek Helio P23 SoC with 700 or 770 MHz clock speed. Supports OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, DirectX 11 FL11_1 and RenderScript.

ARM Mali-G72 MP3: Integrated graphics card from ARM with 3 cores based on the 2nd generation of the Bifrost architecture.

Imagination PowerVR GM9446: Middle class graphics card for smartphones which is integrated in ARM SoCs. Supports OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1, OpenCL 1.2 and Android NN HAL. The performance should be slightly better than a Adreno 430.

ARM Mali-G52 MP2: Integrated mid range graphics card with 2 clusters. ARM states that the G52 series is 30% faster and 15% more efficient compared to the G51 series on the same process node.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

ARM Mali-T720 MP2: Integrated graphics card in ARM based SoCs. Can be configured with up to 8 cores (T720 MP8) and 650 MHz core clock (at 28nm). Supports OpenGL ES 3.1, OpenCL 1.1, DirectX 11 FL9_3, and Renderscript.

ARM Mali-400 MP2: OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU for ARM based SoCs with 2 fragment processors and 1 vertex processor.

Imagination PowerVR GE8100: Integrated graphics card for entry level ARM SoCs. Smallest variant of the Series8XE series of GPUs (GE8xx0) with a peak fillrate of only one pixel/clock.

Imagination PowerVR GE8320: Integrated graphics card for mid-range ARM SoCs.

Imagination PowerVR GE8300: Integrated graphics card for mid-range ARM SoCs.

5.00:

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
