Blackview BV9700 Pro is the latest and greatest rugged phone from the specialized Chinese manufacturer and besides its durable characteristics and “Transformers” design, it also comes with a ton of features. It pretty much sports every phone feature available right now, including an AI camera, Night Vision Camera, Air Quality Detection, and Heart Rate Monitor. If you pride yourself as a photo enthusiast, the BV9700 Pro is worth considering as it boasts a dual Samsung AI camera setup with a 16MP front sensor with f/2.0 aperture and a rear 16MP/8MP dual camera with f/1.75 and f/2.0 apertures.
Of course, what shines the most is its AI camera. The BV9700 Pro is capable of great video shooting and awesome photos that are better than pretty much any other rugged phone on the market right now. Photos shot on BV9700 Pro are vivid and have a good dynamic range in different scenarios, including pretty accurate exposure, white balance, and fast autofocus. Besides the Night Vision Camera, it has a low-light video recording setting that automatically reduces the frame rate of the video in darker conditions to gather more light. The results are more than pleasing. Below, you can see a video demonstrating the fast autofocus, the wide dynamic range, focus tracking, and low noise.
Apart from the camera capabilities, the BV9700 Pro is mainly a top rugged phone so it sports IP68/IP69K & MIL-STD-810F certification meaning it is waterproof down to 1.5m depth for up to 30 minutes. It’s also drop-proof from 1.5m height, dustproof, shockproof, freezeproof down to -20°C, crushproof to 150kg weight, and it can shoot video and photos underwater. All that without using any special case or housing that normal smartphones need.
Despite all these features, the Blackview BV9700 Pro costs much less than someone would expect. Starting this month, the phone costs just $299.99 and you get a free tempered glass. You can find all the details here.
