Blackview’s hotly-anticipated quad-camera budget king A80 Pro finally kicked off its global sale on black Friday and it is available exclusively on AliExpress at $79.99 until December 4th. But the A80 Pro isn’t the only bargain on the market. So, let’s see a comparison between the A80 Pro and the Redmi 8A.

Design
On the front, the two models are almost identical and both come with slim bezels and waterdrop notch where a front camera is located (Redmi 8A has a smaller one). The big difference is on the back. The A80 Pro adopts an asymmetric design with the quad-camera being located on the top left whereas the Redmi 8 comes with a rear camera and logo arranged up vertically in the middle.

Display

The winner here is the A80 Pro since it comes with a bigger display and slightly higher resolution. So, the Blackview model boasts a 6.49″ 1560 x 720 display while the Redmi 8A sports a 6.22″ display with 1520 x 720 resolution. Also, the A80 Pro has an LED notification light. Both screens adopt in-cell technology for a better visual experience.

Hardware/Software

Performance-wise, the battle is tight although the phones come with SoCs from different manufacturers. The A80 Pro comes with the Helio P25 8-core SoC coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage and the Redmi 8A comes with Snapdragon 439 also coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The Antutu benchmark seen in the video reveals that the A80 Pro scores 96K+ while the Redmi 8A scores 91K+. As for the OS used, Blackview went with the clean Android 9 whereas Xiaomi chooses its own MIUI 11 bases on Android 9. Don’t forget that the A80 Pro supports global LTE bands while Redmi 8A doesn’t, which makes the former even more friendly for global travelers.

Camera

Judging by the official specs, the A80 Pro’s rear camera is far superior to its opponent as it sports a quad-camera setup with Sony® 13MP main sensor assisted by a triple sub-camera setup while the Redmi 8A’s rear main lens is 12MP. But a good camera means much more than that (i.e. software optimization) so we can’t really judge until we get samples from both of them. The selfie shooter is 8MP on both phones.

Battery
When it comes to battery, the Redmi 8A is definitely better with a 5,000mAh battery while the Blackview A80 Pro features a 4,680mAh one. In addition, the Blackview A80 Pro supports 10W charging while the Redmi 8A supports 18W fast charging but it’s a pity that Redmi 8A comes with a standard a 5V/2A charger. This means that if you want to take advantage of the 18W charging, you’d have to buy an extra charger.

Price
As we said before, the A80 Pro sells at just $79.99 during the global sale. The Redmi 8A is currently priced at $149.99, almost 2 times more expensive. And by no means is it 2 times better than the A80 Pro. As a matter of fact, the overall value-for-money ratio is much higher for the A80 Pro. That was a brief comparison and you should choose what suits you best. In the meantime, you can take a look at the Blackview BF promotion on Amazon where they’re offering 10 models with up to 20% discount.

Blackview has scheduled the global open sale event for the A80 Pro in a week from now but the phone has already attracted a lot of attention since its debut earlier this month. Since the phone isn’t yet on the market, many users are eager to see how the phone looks in real-life, as they’ve only seen it in photos. So, today, Blackview uploaded a video on their YouTube channel to show the world the real thing.

Its appearance isn’t far from what most smartphones look like nowadays so Blackview decided to offer the A80 Pro in four striking colors. The company names them Gradient Blue, Coral Red, Jade Green, and Midnight Black and all come with a refined plating finish that prevents the phone from looking dull. On the contrary, it enhances the contrast of light and shadow on the 2.5D back panel, which is especially obvious under lights.

As you can see in the video, the Blackview A80 Pro is sleek and has a minimal, elegant design thanks to its curved, ergonomic shape. The rounded edges join the 2.5D curved screen and back panel, extending the smoothness from back to front.

As for its size, Blackview says it’s 162.75 x 77 x 8.8mm and the 6.49″ display achieves a 90.3% screen/body ratio. The 8.8mm thickness is somewhat impressive if you take into account that there is a big, 4680mAh battery under the hood. The battery is charged through a Type-C port located at the bottom and the device also sports a 3.5mm audio jack and LED notification light. So, all the essential features are there.

At the top left corner on the back lies the quad vertically aligned camera that comes with a Sony® IMX258 13MPmain sensor and LED flash. The fingerprint scanner is also there while the selfie shooter is placed inside the front waterdrop notch featuring an AI-driven Sony® IMX239 8MP sensor.

Overall, it looks like a much more expensive phone than it really is as, during the open sale that will start on November 29th, the price will be just $79.99. If you are interested, bear in mind that the sale will take place exclusively on Aliexpress. You can add it to your cart beforehand so that you get notified when the global open sales begin. You can also join the giveaway to be among the 10 trial users to get the A80 Pro for free.

As Blackview had announced 10 days ago, the Blackview A80 Pro made its official appearance today globally and it’s the company’s new budget smartphone, expanding its existing A-series lineup. The surprise came from the pricing as it costs just $79.99, an unprecedented price for a quad-camera phone!

Of course, there are other excellent budget phones on the market but the A80 Pro is the most appealing in its price range. Starting at just $79.99 for the global open sale on November 29th, it comes with an impressive set of specs. Let’s see what they’ve got.

Main Specs

Differentiating from the vast majority of phones out there, the Blackview A80 Pro comes with a bigger than usual display at 6.49″ and HD+ resolution with a waterdrop notch and advanced in-cell technology. Also, the bezels are pretty narrow, offering a screen/body ratio of 90.3%. The main camera is the killer feature of the phone as it’s a quad-camera setup consisting of a Sony® IMX258 13MP lens and 3 sub-cameras. The selfie shooter, on the other hand, features an AI-driven Sony® IMX239 8MP sensor.

Under the hood, hosts the Helio P25 8-core SoC backed by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Running on Android 9 Pie, these specs are more than enough for a smooth and snappy performance. Surprisingly, the body is just 8.8mm thin despite the fact that it houses a 4680mAh big battery. It also supports global LTE bands while other connectivity options include Dual-SIM support, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, Type-C port, 3.5mm audio jack, and triple positioning system. On top of that, the A80 Pro comes in 4 color variants: Gradient Blue, Jade Green, Midnight Black, and Coral Red.

Overall, the Blackview A80 Pro’s specs are very impressive considering its competitive price at $79.99.

Yesterday we talked about the tease poster that the CEO of Blackview posted on Facebook and today we have an official confirmation and launch date. The phone is coming on November 18th and according to the product page, it is a super budget-friendly mainstream device with a quad rear camera and 4680mAh big battery.

Blackview A80 Pro main specs

According to the Blackview A80 Pro landing page, the device comes with a 6.49″ display with In-cell technology and achieves a 90.3% screen/body ratio. One of the highlights of the phone is the Sony 13MP main sensor included in the quad rear camera which makes it on par with modern flagship counterparts.

Also, it sports a big, 4680mAh battery and runs on Android 9 Pie that feels very comfortable using the 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage of the device. It also supports global LTE bands, which means you can use it all over the world.

Design

From the renders we can see there is a waterdrop notch and the bezels are quite thin. The phone features a 3D-like design with rounded corners and a just 8.8mm thin body so it should feel comfortable in hand despite the big battery under the hood. On the back, there is the quad-camera setup placed on the top left corner while there’s also a fingerprint sensor.

While yesterday’s info was that it would come in 3 different colors, it seems that there is another one after all. So, Blackview A80 Pro will be available in Red, Gradient Blue, Green, and Black.

The A80 Pro will launch in 11 days from today and we expect it to feature a pretty competitive price. After all, the slogan “quad-camera budget king” tells that the price should be extraordinary, making it the most affordable 4-camera phone to date. What do you think the price will be?

What’s more, the Chinese manufacturer is also offering 10 units through a huge giveaway in order for the winners to test the device and propose improvements. To be among the winners, you just need to guess the final global sale price of the phone. If you are interested in it, you can add it to your cart on Aliexpress right now and get notified when the sales begin.

The battery life is one of the key features of each phone and a lot of Chinese manufacturers try to solve that issue by producing phones with huge batteries. Cubot H2 is one of them and it is an affordable solution. Learn more in a full review.

Thanks to Tinydeal for sending Cubot H2 for a review.

Cubot H2 Review: VIDEO REVIEW

Cubot H2 Review: UNBOXING

The device comes with all the usual stuff and some extras include a tempered glass screen protector and USB OTG cable.

Cubot H2 Review: SPECS

Cubot H2 Review: DESIGN and DISPLAY

The design of the phone is pretty simple but I was really impressed with the build quality. A sturdy metal frame goes all around the device, the buttons have a great tactile feedback and the phone is really well-made.

One of the highlights is a huge 5000mAh battery inside the phone, which results in a total weight of 230g of the device.

Cubot H2 has a 5.5” 720p display, which is pretty good for an HD panel. It is quite sharp, the colours look nice and it is quite bright.

On the front we have an 8MP shooter and a customisable LED light. However, the capacitive buttons do not have a backlight.

The back is made of textured plastic, which is actually nice to the touch. We have a 13MP camera with a dual LED flash for photos.

The loudspeaker is placed on the back and the sound quality of it is average. It is pretty loud but, as usual to all budget phones, it lacks depth and the sound is tinny.

Overall, I’m really happy with the way this phone is built and a great choice of materials.

Cubot H2 Review: HARDWARE and PERFORMANCE

When it comes to hardware, Cubot H2 sports a quad-core MTK6735 chip with the clock speed of up to 1.3GHz, 3GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage.

3D games like Asphalt 8 run fine on medium graphics but  some stutter kicks in if you set graphics to the highest level.

Cubot H2 Review: BENCHMARKS

Cubot H2 Review: UI

Cubot H2 ships with Android 5.1 but the company added some changes to it.

For example, the app tray has been removed but we have some customisation options, gesture and motion controls and so on.

The most important thing is that the phone is very fast and responsive no matter what you do with it.

We reviewed a bunch of Cubot phones and they were all fast but the H2 has never had a stutter no matter what I did. That is really impressive for a budget device like this.

Cubot H2 Review: CAMERA

The picture quality is pretty good for the phone of this price category but it is not perfect as you may have expected. When there is a lot of light, you can take some nice looking images with a decent amount of detail. However, the camera struggles with dynamic range and some images have more noise than expected.

Naturally, the quality decreases with a lower amount of lighting.

As for selfie camera, it is not bad and it will definitely do the trick for social media needs.

The video quality is mediocre as the footage could look sharper. There is a continuous auto-focus feature but it is very slow to react. See a video review for a video sample or download it from the link below.

Download full resolution camera samples

Cubot H2 Review: CONNECTIVITY

Call quality and signal reception are good and other connectivity options work fine.

Cubot H2 Review: BATTERY LIFE

A huge battery is one of the highlights of the phone and it performs great. I usually achieved over 6 hours of screen-on time while using the phone quite intensively. I could get over 7 hours of SOT on a light usage.

Cubot H2 Review: CONCLUSIONS

Cubot H2 costs over $130 and we need to answer if it is worth the money.

First, you may want to check this phone out if you need an affordable device with a great battery life, very good build quality, buttery smooth user interface and a pretty good display.

On the other hand, the camera is pretty good but it has some shortcomings. Also, the loudspeaker quality could be better and the capacitive buttons are not backlit.

All in all, Cubot H2 is a decent offering for the price and you may want to check it out if you don’t mind a few shortcomings.

The post Cubot H2 Review: 5000mAh battery, very fast and built like a tank appeared first on Gizmochina.

We have seen plenty of great options from OUKITEL in the past few months. The company has come up with yet another interesting package, the OUKITEL K4000 which boasts of a large battery that will last you up to 5 days and a strong screen that can resist scratches or any other physical damage.

This year we have seen some pretty good looking smartphones from Chinese manufacturers. The OUKITEL K4000 aims to be one of these phones, as it comes with a solid plastic body with a metal frame to ensure that the phone is sturdy. Its a bit thick as compared to most other competitors, but that is because it comes packed with a large 4000mAh battery. To be precise, the phone is 11mm thick, which is around a millimeter thicker than other large battery smartphones. But to compensate for this thickness, you get up to 5 days of battery life with moderate usage. The company claims that if you are into heavy usage, then you can expect the phone to last about 2.5 days. Even if you get around 2 days of usage, the purpose is served.
