Blackview BV9500 is quite a unique phone that costs just about $330 but it has a massive 10000mAh battery that is packed into a water-resistant and shockproof body. As always, I will go through all the pros and cons of this device, so stay tuned.

VIDEO REVIEW

UNBOXING

The phone ships with all the usual items and some extras include USB OTG cable, USB-C adapter, a pair of earphones, a screen protector and a tool to open up the SIM card tray.

DESIGN, DISPLAY, BATTERY LIFE

The Blackview BV9500 is a really big and heavy device but it has a few serious reasons for that: an insanely huge 10000 battery and rugged, water-resistant and shockproof body.

Let’s start with the battery. Obviously, the phone will last you forever on standby mode but if you use it on the daily basis, you should expect to get up to 24 hours of screen-on time, which is an amazing result, to say the least.

You can also charge it up in just about 2.5h thanks to the supplied fast charger. The phone supports wireless charging for added convenience and this feature works fine.

The overall build quality is excellent. The phone uses a hefty metal frame on the sides and shockproof rubber on the top and bottom, and on the back of the device.

The buttons are very nice and premium too. There is also a programmable key that can be assigned to open up an app you want.  In addition, there is a dedicated PTT button, if you ever need to use the push-to-talk feature. On the top of the phone, there is what I believe a port to attach an external antenna. On the bottom, you can find USB-C port and a headset jack. There is a lanyard hole if you ever need to carry the phone around your neck.

The phone has the IP68 rating, meaning it is water and dust resistant. Also, the device’s tough credentials include MIL-SPEC 810G and Gorilla Glass 5 screen protection. That means that the BV9500 is salt, dust, humidity, rain, vibration, solar radiation, transport, and thermal shock resistant. In real life, you can rest assured that the phone will survive drops from up to 1.8 meters.

Obviously, to assure rugged properties of this device, Blackview had to make a few tradeoffs. For example, you need to remove a SIM card door with the screwdriver to access two SIM card slots and the SD card tray.

The display is very good overall. It’s plenty sharp and vibrant, and it is bright enough for outdoor use thanks to 500 nits of brightness.

As for cameras, we are looking at a dual-optics system. On the front, there is a 13MP selfie shooter and LED notification light.

The fingerprint scanner is implemented on the side and it’s really convenient to reach. Also, it is very accurate and fast. There is also a face unlock feature that actually works surprisingly well.

I found the headset jack to provide good sound quality. The loudspeaker is probably the best I’ve heard on any rugged smartphone. First of all, it can get really loud but most importantly, the sound is quite balanced and there is even a decent amount of bass. 

HARDWARE and PERFORMANCE

In terms of hardware, we are looking at a well-specced out phone.

Gaming performance is quite good but not perfect. You will be able to run most of the 3D games but you should expect some stutter and skipped frames. Also, there is some lag in Pubg even on medium graphics but the game is still playable.

USER INTERFACE

As for the user interface, the phone ships with the Android 8.1 but it has the Blackview’s skin built on top of it. That means we have redesigned icons and some added features but in general, you get a stock Android experience which is great.

A few notable features include a toolbox that utilizes a variety of sensors inside the phone. There is also a new Blackview Note app and quite a few smart assist features like gestures, the ability to customize the phone and so on.  

I’m happy to report that the overall performance of the UI is very good. The device feels fast all the time and I’m yet to see it lag or stutter.

IMAGE QUALITY

The overall image quality is actually pretty good. You can take some nice daylight pictures that have a good amount of detail and colors are fairly accurate. However, there are quite a few pictures were corners or a certain part of the image is out of focus. Portrait shots may look quite good on social media. 

In terms of low-light performance, it’s not mind-blowing but you can take some decent pictures considering this is a budget rugged phone

Selfies look really nice. The pictures are very sharp and detailed and even low-light selfie quality is decent.

1080p video quality is quite decent but there is no continuous auto-focus which is a bit frustrating.

1080p video selfie video quality is quite good too. However, sound recording quality could be better.

CONNECTIVITY

I didn’t have any connectivity issues with this device as the call quality and signal reception are pretty good, and the GPS lock speeds and accuracy were okay.

The phone has quite a few sensors including a gyroscope, so you will be able to use the device with VR headsets. Finally, the phone has NFC and FM radio.

CONCLUSIONS

The Blackview BV9500 turns out to be a very solid rugged smartphone that offers a nice and sturdy design, great display, good overall performance, amazing battery life, very good loudspeaker, plenty of sensors and connectivity options, and even good cameras.

However, I wish we didn’t need to use the screwdriver to open up the SIM card tray. Also, there is no continuous auto-focus in video recording.

At the end of the day, these are just minor complaints. I believe the Blackview BV9500 is a very good super battery phone that has a sturdy rugged body and I can easily recommend you checking it out.

The post Blackview BV9500 Review – Solid 10000mAh Rugged Smartphone! appeared first on Gizmochina.

Blackview is known for producing all sorts of budget smartphones and they recently held an event in Prague, the Czech Republic. The company showed their sales figures, talked about their marketing strategy and their vision towards budget smartphone industry. In addition, they unveiled 4 new smartphones BV8000 Pro, P6, BV4000 and A7.

About Blackview: the company was established in 2013 in Shenzen, China. As of now, their phones are sold in 128 countries and the company has more than 300 employees. 

BV8000 Pro, P6, BV4000 and A7 hands-on video:

Blackview BV8000 Pro hands-on:

The phone has a familiar rugged smartphone design we’ve seen from Blackview. In fact, this is a successor to a quite popular BV7000 Pro model we have reviewed quite some time ago.

In terms of the looks, the BV80000 Pro follows a familiar design language.  It is obvious that the BV8000 Pro is a rugged phone since it is thick and heavy but I have to say this is one of the best-designed rugged smartphones.

The phone has the IP-68 rating meaning that it is water and dust resistant. Also, the rugged body assures that the phone will survive a few accidental drops. It is great that the ports are not covered by any flaps despite water-resistant properties of the phone.

The phone has a 5” 1080p display, which, at the first glance, is sharp, bright and vibrant.  Also, it is covered with the Gorilla Glass 3. It is great that we have the LED notification light and nicely backlit capacitive keys.

I really love that industrial look of the metal-made sides of the phone, where you can also find nice and tactile buttons. There is another programmable button and you can customize the button in a lot of different ways.

As for optics, there is a 16MP Samsung S5K3P3 camera with PDAF and 8MP Samsung 4H8 front camera.

When it comes to hardware, the Blackview BV8000 Pro is one of the most powerful budget rugged phones out there. The phone will ship with an octa-core MTK6757 chip (2.3GHz), 6GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.

Other key specs include a 4180 mAh battery, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, Smart NXP audio chip and Android 7.0 out of the box.

There will also be a Lite version of the phone that 3GB of RAM and possibly a lower amount of storage.

The BV8000 Pro will retail for $249.99 and it should be available for purchase soon.

Blackview P6 hands-on:

The Blackview P6 is aimed at business people since it has a hardware level encryption for extra security.

As far as design goes, it is made of metal and glass and it feels quite nice in the hand. What is the most exciting thing, however, a humongous 6380mAh battery considering the fact that the phone is just 9.3mm thick.

As far as the main specs go, we have a 5.5″ in-cell AMOLED display with 2.5D glass, octa-core Mediatek Helio P20 (MT6755) processor clocked at 2.5 GHz, 6GB RAM and 64GB of storage.

When it comes to optics, we have an 8MP front-facing camera as well as a 13MP+13MP dual rear camera. Finally, Android 7.0 Nougat is running the show.

The price and availability are not yet confirmed.

Blackview BV4000 hands-on:

The BV4000 is a budget-oriented rugged smartphone that preserves features of the rugged smartphone like IP68 rating.

In addition, it is quite a compact phone since it has a 4.7″ 720p display.

As far as hardware goes, it runs on a good old MT6580A chip that is coupled with 1GB RAM and just 8GB of expandable storage.

When it comes to cameras, the phone has a 2MP front-facing shooter and 8MP Sony IMX239 camera on the back. Other key specs include a huge 4000 mAh battery and Android 7.0.

There will also be a more powerful BV4000 Pro model that will have an MT6737 chip and 2GB of RAM and 16 GB of expandable storage.

The price and availability are not yet confirmed.

Blackview A7/A7 Pro hands-on:

Finally, the Blackview A7 and A7 Pro was announced at the event and these are the cheapest out of the pack. The phone has a 5″ 720p display, a dual camera setup that consists of 5MP+0.3MP Samsung S5K4E2 shooters.

As for hardware, the device has an MT6580A chip, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of expandable storage, and Android 7.0 running the show.

The price and availability are not yet confirmed.

Blackview smartphones are known for their great looks and design. We have already seen beautiful smarphones from the company like the Blackview Ultra, and the Blackview Omega. Today, we have come across another beautiful device from the company called as the Blackview Alife S1.

The device hasn’t been announced yet, but we have received a set of images of this upcoming handset. The Blackview Alife S1 sports sharp rectangular looks in a well built body. Lately, we have been seeing smartphones with round edges but this particular phone tries to bring back the traditional style with its sharp edges.

From the images, it looks like the phone is made of metal, but its probably a metal finish on a plastic body. Neverthless, it looks well built and sturdy. These images reveal that the phone may not have a removable battery, however that helps in giving the phone a unibody look. Still, a removable battery is always preferable. The back is extremely smooth and plain, yet looks beautiful. The best part is that none of the components like the camera or speakers protrude from its smooth body.

We still don’t know the specifications of the device, but we can see a MicroSD slot as well as SIM card slots on the left side. Coming to the right, the power button is located at the middle and the volume rocker keys lies above it.

Like mentioned above, the back is extremely smooth. The camera and the dual LED flash lies on the top left corner and the Blackview logo lies at the center. Interestingly, there’s another microphone besides the camera which should definitely improve the audio quality during video recording. At the bottom right corner, you can see the single speaker grill.

The front is also pretty simple. You get the receiver mesh, sensors and the camera on top. Below the display, you have the three capacitive buttons. Finally, on the top side, it looks like there’s an Infrared sensor besides the headphone jack.

All in all, we like the simple looks of the Blackview Alife S1. However, we can’t just judge a smartphone on the basis of its design, so we will have to wait for a few more days to get more information about the phone’s hardware specs and features.

So what do you think about the Blackview Alife S1? Do you like its simple design?
