The newly-released Blackview BV6100 is the world’s biggest display rugged phone since it sports a 6.88″ screen and to spice things up, the Chinese manufacturer went with a design different from all other rugged devices, choosing glass both for the front and the back of the device. Definitely a device to keep in mind when looking for an affordable rugged phone. So, let’s take a look at its specs and features.
Fully Equipped
As the market is very competitive, for a device to succeed an affordable price isn’t enough. Blackview knows this and for that reason, the BV6100 is more than just another rugged device. It sports a huge, 6.88″ display, ideal for watching movies or playing games. And they even implemented a dedicated split-screen button to make multitasking even easier on the big display. What’s more, in the box you will find a ring-grip case for handling the phone with one hand without the fear of dropping it.
For those who travel a lot, the BV6100 comes with all 4 positioning protocols: GPS, Glonass, Beidou, and Galileo. It the first device of the company that comes with all 4 protocols and navigating with it has become more accurate than ever. What’s also great is the fact that they didn’t skimp on other premium features found on premium smartphones like the latest OS version and AI support. The BV6100 comes with the latest Android 9 Pie and with AI features being its main draw, the new OS also comes with interesting traits like an adaptive battery, gesture-based navigation, an official dark mode along with a few tricks that will help you reduce your interaction with the phone with “Digital Wellbeing”.
Better outdoors experience
Outdoor use can become dangerous for a smartphone as humidity, rain, and accidental drops on hard terrain are common. The BV6100 comes with IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810G certifications to avoid all this. You can even shoot photos underwater with the special mode in the camera app. The phone won’t face any problems with hydraulic pressure according to the company. Of course, many hours away from a power socket requires a big battery and the new model takes care of that with its 5580mAh large-capacity battery that delivers up to 600h of standby.
Suitable for formal occasions too
Most rugged phones are a little bit… ugly. In fact, they are so ugly that if you are formally dressed, you can’t bring them with you as they will ruin your outfit. With the BV6100, Blackview tries to break this stereotype by delivering an all-glass phone and a body thickness of just 11.5mm. No, it isn’t as sleek as some other normal devices but it is stylish enough for every occasion.
Lastly, it comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor as well as AI face unlock for instant unlocking and secure payments. Payments are also available via the NFC that supports the Google Pay service. The Blackview BV6100 is now available for preorder until July 25th and costs just $149.99.
