Blackview Rugged Phone BV8800(2023), 50MP+20MP Night Vision, 8380mAh 33W Fast Charge, 8GB+128GB Helio G96, 90Hz 1080*2408, 6.58 inch FHD+ Display, Android Rugged Smartphones, NFC, Fingerprint - Black

This phone was the best match for me. It is durable and strong. its battery lasts for veeery long. And the most important and the main reason I bought it was its good quality of pictures and Video. Indeed they are. If you wish very good pictures and videos, this phone can do it for you.The downsides of this phone are:-It is very big, thick, and heavy, It hurts when it falls on your face in bed.- It has no space for a TF card. Every photo, video, or other type of file will be saved in the internal storage of the phone.-it has no plug for earphones with cable, you will need an adaptorHowever, another big plus this phone has, is that, when it comes to fixing it or changing its battery, you can unscrew it from behind, and do not need to unglue the screen and glue it back. That is a very important point for me in smartphones.

This is a good enough phone while it works, unfortunately it has developed a mind of its own over the past few days. I suspect water ingress which is unacceptable for a supposedly waterproof phone which has never been submerged. Also the phone gets incredibly hot whilst charging, so hot it is imposssible to hold with a bare hand. Night vision is gimmicky and the microphone port gets blocked with dust.A rugged phone in name only.

This phone is the best phone that I have . Is heavy is more for strong man 💪 or strong woman 💪 because is heavy. If you want to buy this phone you need to keep in mind that this phone doesn't have 2 important things.1- SD card entrance.2- Headphones plug.The only problem is that if you want this phone .you have to buy Bluetooth headphones .But everything is perfect.

So I've had this phone for 9 months and I wanted to really give it time before I could review it. For those that liked rugged phones it is a standout. The night vision camera works flawlessly and is a great party or night time tick ;) I've spoken to customer service a time or two regarding features and they were exemplary in their help. Something I have never received with the bigger brands such as Samsung & Apple that want to charge for every dime of time they give you. The main reason i chose this phone is because it's the only reasonably priced rugged with 90+ hz screen and I can honestly say it's as smooth as butter scrolling away on it.

Are you sitting comfortably ?To start off with, this is my second Blackview phone, I first purchased a BV 7100 October 2022 when two other smartphones were damaged in a short space of time. One due to water damage and the other caught in a car door!!I wanted a phone I could use for outdoor activities without having to purchase extra cases to protect it but also with decent graphics for other apps, streaming videos, and music.The BV 7100 is a beast and 'does what is says on the tin' it IS rugged, its battery life is brilliant (3days) and it can operate underwater....however, it IS quite heavy and the camera quality / microphone are not great.For the price though it suited my needs but after 6 happy months of usage including using underwater (some great photos) whilst on holiday in Greece, mine failed me due to water ingress.CUSTOMER SUPPORT (Jessie) was brilliant once I put across my case and it was pointed out to them that at no point on the advert does it state NOT to be used in sea water and not for more than 30 minutes.I was compensated to a degree as I was without the use of my phone for 3 days until it recovered its functions about 90% and refunded for it. I could not receive the refund until I sent the pone back so I ordered a BV 8800, transferred data across and sent back the BV 7100.BV8800 is a great phone, and much better camera and lighter but the microphone and battery life (average usage one day) are not so great for my needs.But if you want a rugged phone that you can use outdoors and are not bothered having to charge each evening then this is the phone for you.Overall I would recommend Blackview phones, great graphics, loads of storage and durableIt does depend on your expectations versus what you pay which is why I am may upgrade further after trying out the BV 9200 for it's battery life and microphone... watch this space :-)

Using continuous for 7h in first day, watching tiktok with Bluetooth on with my ear buds and playing games from 80% down to 30 what I find reasonable, to many functions what a Samsung or another brand doesn't have them. For the moment very happy worth every penny, Disappointed for camera you have only 4 times zoom but photos are good quality. I will come back after cople months of using it, it takes only 50 second to charge 1% of battery. Hopefully it's useful review.

I like the phone itself. But when I take video, it freeze shortly the phone.

This phone is just want I need for working on a busy airport ramp. my phone is prone to dropping very regularly and needs the protection that this Blackview offers. And its a plus that the device is dual SIM which mean i can have my work number and my business number on the same device - saving me having to buy another device. I've had an issue were my phone got wet with ice water as there wasnt a plug with my original purchase. The customer service team Lorna was very responsive to assist me with finding a solution that would work. This is my 3 phone from this company and love the product and will continue to patronage them.
