Blackview BV8200 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Blackview BV8200 - for those who need durability and photo capabilities

Protected from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards, smartphones sharply please their owners with wonderful cameras. This fact is especially relevant for representatives of low and medium price categories. But the hero of today's review destroys the existing paradigm, thanks to which it will definitely find its audience.

The appearance of the new product is very good, although it has a standard number of problems of inexpensive phones with moisture protection. These include wide display frames, impressive weight of a thick rubberized case. Positive aspects of the exterior include bright, memorable colors of monoblocks, a modern form factor of a high-quality 32-megapixel selfie camera, a beautiful combination of a block of photo modules and an additional 1.3-inch screen (displaying notifications, time, the presence of built-in mini-applications and other functionality). The 6.5-inch IPS panel is good for this technology. The FullHD+ resolution is sufficient for image clarity, there is a 120 Hz refresh rate, which gives it excellent smoothness. Color rendition is also calibrated well, but the brightness of 600-650 nits is still not enough for all scenarios of using a mobile assistant.

The technical specifications include an updated MediaTek Helio G100 chipset, 12 GB of RAM and a Mali G57MC2 video adapter. In reality, we are simply looking at a more energy-efficient version of the G99 CPU used simply everywhere. There is still no 5G support, the performance is at the level of 370-380 thousand points in the AnTuTu test. There is no need to worry about the performance of Android 14, as well as about launching applications. But the situation with games is not so clear. The most resource-intensive projects will require significant simplifications of graphic settings to maintain framerate stability. Unfortunately, the same Genshin Impact in this case loses most of its beauty. But the battery life is great. The 8800mAh battery will provide up to 3-4 days of active use of the phablet. Surprisingly, the relatively affordable unit also received a fast charge with a power of 45W. The size of the permanent memory is also decent (256GB), there is a slot for MicroSD cards.

The main 50 and 13-megapixel cameras definitely deserve compliments. These words especially apply to the main Samsung ISOCELL GN5 sensor with hybrid stabilization. As a result, the gadget copes with evening photo sessions noticeably better than its opponents. Photos are characterized by excellent detail, and only a small amount of noise. But there is no stereo sound, but a separate output for wired headphones is left. Music lovers will be pleased. Contactless payments NFC and a gyroscope complete the list of advantages of a technological and balanced device with a number of interesting competitive advantages.
