Users think that rugged phones and good cameras don’t mix well and that’s not entirely wrong as most rugged smartphones come with mediocre camera capabilities. Blackview is about to change that with its new BV9800 Series that comes equipped with 3 top-notch cameras: a thermal camera for detecting heat and forming a thermal image, a Sony® 48MP camera for capturing stunning moments, as well as a thermal-image assisted camera.

According to the Chinese manufacturer, the BV9800 Pro is created for serious adventurers and, in a way, the owner invites mystery, thrill, and safety to a journey. The first killer feature, -the thermal camera- It can become life-saving in certain circumstances. By detecting heat, it helps you increase situational awareness and safety. For example, when camping out alone, you can use it to detect wild animals around so you can take measures before they approach and attack you.

The thermal camera can become handy for wildlife photographers as many animals are naturally camouflaged and very hard to see with a naked eye, even when they’re in plain sight. Using the thermal camera, the photographer can spot an animal’s heat (unless hidden by foliage or behind terrain) and know where to point the camera to take a photo. With the exact position of the animal known, you can change the lens to the Sony® 48MP camera to capture photos of animals in their natural environments. It can even work in the dark.

Speaking about the Sony® 48MP rear camera, it is the second killer feature of BV9800 Pro. Among many low-pixel cameras in rugged phones, the BV9800 Pro has an advantage as it is able to capture great details even on close-up shots. And the night-shot mode tracks low-light and night time photography effortlessly.
