Blackview BV8800 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Blackview BV8800 - overall and balanced

Rugged smartphones of the middle price segment are becoming more and more popular among Android users around the world, because their functionality, autonomy and other parameters are improving every year. Progress can also be seen in the hero of today's review, the only significant drawback of which is its considerable size.

The developer has worked on the design of the device, in particular, the design of the four photomodules and LED flashes in the form of a polygon is surprising. They look fresh against the background of monotonous opponents and the colors of the cases, textures of the back panels, neatly arranged rubberized elements, a side fingerprint scanner. Unfortunately, the wide bezels of the screen, the outdated appearance of the 13-megapixel selfie camera and the simply crazy size of the mobile assistant itself make it impossible to fully enjoy the delights of the exterior. The 6.58-inch IPS display evokes a more unambiguous yet positive emotion. The refresh rate of the picture at 90Hz , decent FullHD + resolution, the absence of significant problems with brightness and contrast in the presence of a good oleophobic layer allow praising the manufacturer for choosing an OGS panel.

The technical specifications are also up-to-date. The newest Mediatek Helio G96 CPU is an excellent inexpensive solution, together with 8GB of RAM and the Mali-G57 MC2 graphics accelerator, the ready-made will give a completely smooth Android 11 interface, increased responsiveness of applications during everyday work with the device. Not the most sophisticated gamers will also appreciate the processor, because the updated PUBG functions flawlessly, even the resource-intensive Genshin Impact lends itself to the chipset. Of course, the maximum graphics presets should be left for expensive flagships. Let the 12Nm process technology not confuse the buyer, because the chip, together with the 8380mAh battery, provides about three days of active interaction with an Android smartphone. It is allowed to store music, video and other multimedia files both on 128GB of ROM and on MicroSD cards .

The 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 photo module has managed to establish itself as an excellent option for daytime shooting. He is assisted in this device by an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro camera and a night vision sensor. The latest sensors are installed rather for show, they cannot be called high-quality in any way. The main camera records FullHD video with electronic stabilization, evening shots with some skill of the photographer will come out in detail, albeit with noticeable noise. NFC contactless payments, fast charging at 33W and, of course, waterproofing according to IP68 standards expand the list of advantages of the gadget and make it a good buy if you are able to put up with the weight of the device and its poor ergonomics.
