Reviews for the Blackview Hero 10

Blackview Hero 10: Affordable, foldable, but flawed
Source: Calcalistech English
The Hero 10 feels like a step back to the early days of foldable smartphones, with its small external screen, noticeable crease, and subpar cameras. While its affordable price may appeal to budget-conscious buyers, the numerous compromises—especially in display functionality and camera quality—make it less competitive. For the same price, you can find better-performing conventional smartphones. Unless folding functionality is your top priority, the Hero 10 might not be the best choice.

Blackview Hero 10 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
At first impression, the Blackview Hero 10 might look like a standard flip phone, while the hardware section brings an average chipset. But the plus point would be the stunning display, aesthetic looks, and fast charging. You can expect a decent viewing experience with higher storage support. Yet this is a decent flip smartphone and it comes under 400 USD. Like most of the Blackview phones, performance is also neglected on this phone. Like most Blackview phones, the company tries to bring the best configuration at the approach price range. They also marketed this phone as an Af-foldable phone. But despite this, it has become yet another feature phone.

Blackview Hero 10 Review: Just how cheap should a foldable try to be?
Source: 9to5google English
If the Blackview Hero 10 was $499 all of the time, I’d say it’s a fitting price. The flaws wouldn’t stand out so much. But when you’re priced the same as something as polished as the Motorola Razr, it’s a high bar to meet. The Hero 10 simply doesn’t. But, even then, I’m not sure a $499 foldable should even exist just yet. Foldables are still not perfect. They’re still a little too unpredictably fragile, and a little too hard to repair too. I’m just not sure that, in 2024, we’re ready for a foldable to be this cheap. Whether we like it or not, though, this device is helping to usher in a new wave of foldables that are far less expensive than they’ve ever been, and I’m certainly curious to see where that goes.

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

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

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Helio G99: ARM based octa-core SoC with 2x big ARM Cortex-A76 cores and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores. All clocked up to 2.2 GHz. Integrates a Cat-13 LTE Modem (4G) and a ARM Mali-G57 MP2 graphics card. Compared to the older Helio G96, the G99 is manufactured in the more recent 6nm process and clocks higher.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.90":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


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).


64.5%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
