Blackview A70 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Blackview A70 Pro - too ordinary

The Chinese company Blackview continues to use the usual formula for the release of new smartphones, namely, preserving the design of the old model while changing its technical characteristics. The hero of today's review is an improved version of its predecessor, which has significantly increased performance and photo capabilities. However, the price tag of the gadget has grown noticeably. Is the new product worth the overpayment?

The designers of the corporation decided to take us back two years ago, when the form factor of the front camera "drop" was considered the norm, as well as the fingerprint sensor located behind. Praise the exterior is possible only for the interesting gradient colors of the cases and reasonable in terms of thickness of the screen frame. The 6.52-inch IPS-display has one significant drawback - a low resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels, which has affected the clarity of the displayed image. The OGS-screen does not set records in brightness and contrast, there is no increased image refresh rate, so the used IPS-panel deserves only a "satisfactory" grade.

The Unisoc Tiger T310 CPU is far from being a productive one, but 4GB of RAM and a PowerVR GT7200 video adapter help it to remain relevant in devices of a low-middle price category. The bundle copes with the Android 11 interface, it also succeeds in everyday work with browsers and instant messengers. But when it comes to games, the processor is not ready to provide smooth gameplay in all high-tech projects. So, Genshin Impact is not devoid of serious lags and freezes even with minimal graphic settings. But for less demanding applications, 32GB and a slot for MicroSD cards are allocated. A quick discharge of the mobile assistant does not threaten the buyer, because a sufficiently capacious 5380mAh battery is responsible for autonomy. Two days without looking for outlets is guaranteed.

13- and 2-megapixel cameras still cannot guarantee flawless pictures even during the day, but now, with a certain dexterity, it is possible to do without unnecessary noise and loss of detail. The sensors are mediocre in shooting in low light, but you can't get the best results from Android smartphones at the same price. Unfortunately, the gadget did not have NFC contactless payment or stereo sound, which would significantly increase its chances of good sales. Thus, we have in front of us a good, but unremarkable device, which is very easy to find a replacement for.
