Reviews for the Blackview Shark 8

Blackview Shark 8 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Blackview Shark 8 seems to have all the right specs needed to call it a complete package for the budget. It has a fantastic display, balanced performance, and excellent battery performance. Sure it doesn’t have 5G connectivity but it has many other features that make up for the absence of 5G. But there’s another caveat. While the smartphone is available globally, it may not be able to ship in every country. So, if you can’t purchase, we have an alternative smartphone that you may find equally interesting. Speaking of downsides, the smartphone has an average camera and underperforms in terms of power and outdated sensors.

6.78":

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.

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).


80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
