Blackview BL9000 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Is Blackview BL9000 a true rugged flagship?

It is very easy to notice the progress of the Chinese company Blackview in creating smartphones. Every year the corporation's products reach new heights in terms of price and quality ratio. Representatives of the high price segment were no exception. So, the hero of today's review really deserves attention due to its functionality, performance and reasonable price tag.

Protected from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards, the phone looks expensive and stylish. It’s easy to forgive the thick display frames and the excessive thickness of the rubberized body thanks to the back panel stylized in leather, the incredibly beautiful triple camera and its combination with an additional IPS display (displaying the time, notifications, controlling the music player, assisting in taking selfies, etc.), a side fingerprint scanner . The 6.78-inch screen is made using IPS technology, so you can’t expect record brightness from it. But there are no problems with resolution (2460x1080 pixels), the picture is smooth (120 Hz refresh rate), natural in terms of color reproduction.

The technical characteristics selected are a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor with support for 5G frequencies, 12GB of RAM and a Mali G77MC9 video accelerator. The bundle does not disappoint with results in synthetic tests (more than 800,000 points in the AnTuTu benchmark), and copes well with the Android 13 interface and the vast majority of current games. Even Honkai: Star Rail and Fortnite are not replete with frequent stuttering at medium-high graphics settings. The huge amount of permanent memory of 512GB allows you not to be sad about the lack of a slot for MicroSD cards. The battery capacity was an impressive 8800 mAh, so you can not think about sockets and power banks for three days. In addition, the battery is characterized by fast charging with a power of as much as 120W.

The photo capabilities of the main photo modules are quite good. If the wide-angle 13-megapixel lens and 2-megapixel macro camera are unlikely to cause a lot of positive emotions, then the main 50-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL GN5 sensor with hybrid stabilization is ready to create detailed shots regardless of the degree of illumination of the event. Competitors are rarely able to boast of such photography. Of course, the phablet could not do without NFC contactless payments and stereo sound. Thus, the gadget will definitely be, if not a hit, then a commercially successful model.
