Blackview’s big surprise in the entry-level category just hit the market exclusively on Aliexpress and the price is just unbelievable: $79.99! Before you go on with the order, make sure to watch the unboxing and hands-on video below. Note that in the box you will also find a pair of earphones, a case, and a screen protector!

As you can see, the A80 Pro scores 99.720 points on the AnTuTu benchmark v8.1.4 and that’s an excellent score for a less-than-$80 smartphone. But besides the benchmark score, real-life performance like gaming seems smooth and fluid. The Blackview A80 Pro runs on Android 9 Pie and is powered by the MediaTeK Helio P25 Octa-Core SoC backed by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

What makes it stand out among other budget phones is its Sony® IMX258 13MP quad rear camera. Also, it sports a 4680mAh big battery despite its 8.8mm slim body. That battery should last more than a day on a single charge. In terms of cellular coverage, it supports global LTE network bands, which makes it suitable for travelers or businessmen.

In addition, there is a 6.49″ in-cell display and the front panel reaches 90.3% screen/body ratio. It comes with HD+ resolution which is good for the market segment and price and colors are vivid. Speaking about colors, the A80 Pro comes in 4 color variations: Gradient Blue, Emerald Green, Interstellar Black, and Coral Red.

Back to the open sale, the price of $79.99 is a limited time offer and will last for just 5 days, until December 3rd. That’s 50% off the official retail price so, if you’re interested in getting a quad-camera budget king, snap it up now.

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.
