The tablet market is a dead market for Android smartphone manufacturers since big-screen smartphones have cannibalized the sales of tablets. A year ago, Honor released the Honor Note 10, a 6.95″ smartphone and brought a brand-new experience for gaming, browsing texts and social media. Last month, Blackview released their version of a big-screen phone, the BV6100 rugged smartphone with a 6.88″ display and excellent waterproof, drop-proof, and dustproof performance. These 2 phones belong to different market segments since the BV6100 is a rugged phone and Note 10 is a casual smartphone like most of the devices out there.

If the design is your main priority, then the choice is crystal clear since the Honor Note 10 sports a sleek design with notch-less display and a glass back. On the other hand, the BV6100’s sides and corners are ruggedized with anti-wear aluminum alloy and impact buffers. It looks tough and masculine, with a notch located on the upper-right corner. Interestingly, BV6100’s front and back are covered with Corning® Gorilla Glass for aesthetics and toughness. Appearance is the most subjective criterion of all but still, Note 10 has an advantage. Let’s take a look at both in the comparison video below.

Moving on to performance, the real question you should ask yourself is what kind of apps do you use the most. Honor Note 10 comes with Kirin 970 8-core SoC backed by 6GB/128GB memory configuration and Android 8.1, 16MP/13MP rear/front cameras, and 5000mAh battery. The Blackview BV6100 comes with Helio A22 4-Core SoC backed by 3GB/16GB memory configuration, a 5580mAh, Android 9 Pie, and IP68/IP69K/MIL-STD-810G certifications.

Of course, the Note 10 has a clear advantage over its opponent in raw power but what happens when you need a durable device? The BV6100 withstands 1.5m deep water submersion, is dustproof, and won’t break even if you drop it from 1.5m high. Besides, it’s designed with 360° all-round dust-proof protection. The tough body gains its popularity among outdoor enthusiasts, construction workers, firemen, and more. So, if specs are what you are after, go for the Honor Note 10. Choose BV6100 if you need a reliable partner for outdoors sports or for severe living environments.

Finally, we come to the part that interests most of the buyers. If the budget is the major factor for you, the BV6100 is the ultimate winners as it costs from $149.99 to $189.99 with free tempered glass and cool phone case, while the Note 10 costs around $340. If you are in seek of a rugged big-screen phone, then check out the Blackview BV6100 promo that is currently running.

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.

In the phone industry (and all other industries), obtaining a high-value product means spending much money while spending much money doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get a high-value product. Thankfully, there are companies that break this rule. This is the case with the Blackview BV6100, the world’s largest rugged outdoor phone that just went on sale today at just $149.99.

The BV6100 is a rugged phone from Blackview and therefore it carries all the goodies that the company’s phones feature. So, it comes with IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810G certifications that make it ideal for outdoor sports like surfing or rock climbing to industrial environments like construction sites.

Also, unlike traditional rugged phones, the BV6100 sports a stylish design making it suitable for formal occasions even. The front and rear have a glass design and the body manages to remain relatively slim at only 11.5mm. Its design makes it look almost like other mainstream smartphones in the market so you can use it even if you are an office worker. As a matter of fact, it even has a shortcut key for split screen function, useful for multitasking office workers.

Moving on to its display, the BV6100 transforms into a gaming phone as the enormous 6.88″ display lets you enjoy an immersive game experience. It is also ideal for media consuming such as videos and photos. And if you find yourself in an occasion where you want to share files with your friend, it is super-easy as it comes with NFC support and all you have to do is approach your friend’s device to start transmitting. No pairing is needed and since it uses a low-power chip, it runs on low amounts of power.

Other features include excellent positioning function as there is GPS, Glonass, Beidou, and Galileo support. What’s more, it could work even if you got lost and began to move towards the North Pole, as it remains functional from -30℃ to +60℃. And if you think that the battery might run out, there is the 5580mAh battery with up to 600h of standby time. You can even charge your friend’s phone using the reverse charging function. Just connect the two phones with an OTC cable and start charging.

Rugged phones are Blackview’s specialty and they are pretty good at it. But as the market is becoming more and more competitive, the Chinese manufacturer decided to expand the BV series with the largest display rugged phone to date, Blackview BV6100 that comes with a 6.88″ screen.

The BV6100 was originally announced during the shown at the MWC 2019 conference together with the BV9700 Pro flagship and the photos that have surfaced confirm previous leaks and renderings. The phone sports a slim frame and rounded corners while the killer feature remains the big display. That big of a display is rather convenient while browsing the web, playing games or watching videos so many users will be happy with it.

Apart from the large display, rumors say that it should come with a monster battery as well and it is safe to assume that these rumors are safe since Blackview always equips its devices with bigger than the competition batteries. The nitch feature of the display is the fact that the notch isn’t placed in the top middle but on the upper right corner instead and it is what the company calls the “Cape of Good Hope”.

More information will surface soon as it is said that launch will take place this month, so stay tuned and join the activity on their website.

Being an established rugged smartphone manufacturer, Blackview has successfully released many rugged devices that offer protection from water, dust, and accidental drops. Over the last years, more manufacturers surfaced offering similar phones but Blackview has managed to remain among the top companies. The recent release of the BV9700 Pro flagship is a perfect example of their expertise and now it is time for their next model to hit the market. We are talking about the BV6100 rugged phablet with the enormous, 6.88″ display.

The Blackview BV6100 was initially announced during the MWC 2019 and the pictures provided by Blackview confirm the leaked photos and renderings we’ve seen in the past with some differences in display size and rounded corners. The killer feature, of course, is the 6.88″ display that many could say belongs to the tablet market but if you think about it, there are many smartphones with similar display size. A 6.88″ display is rather convenient when browsing the web, playing games or watching videos so many users will be happy with it.

Apart from the large display, rumors say that it should come with a monster battery as well and that can be considered almost certain as Blackview has a rich past with big battery phones. In addition, the device features a rather uncommon notch named “Cape of Good Hope” by the company since it sits right in the upper right corner of the display.

For the time being that’s all the information we have for the upcoming phablet but soon more will be available since it will be released in July. At the same time, the latest flagship from Blackview, BV9700 Pro, is still in global presale and you can grab one at a reduced price together with free gifts.
