High quality phone I was pleasantly surprised by this phone. It’s a great device if someone just wants a basic Android. It was very affordable for the quality of the device itself in my opinion. It’s unlocked so you just swap out your Network sim card and is good to go.
Trash. Complete trash Have used multiple rugged phones. This one is garbage, the rest were good. (I found Doogee the best.) I used this one for three months before writing this reviewThe entire point is unbreakability. This doesn’t offer it. The competition is metal it’s plastic. The competition’s screens are shatter-resistant and scratch proof, this one accrued a big scratch within the first few days.Its slow to the point of uselessness. If you have to, say, type something as long as an Amazon review, you might as well go find a computer and use it. Like I am right now.I don’t know if the hardware isn’t what they say it is, or if it’s the software that’s the issue, or if they just took a steaming dump in it before shipping it out. This is a overheating, unfeasibly slow, technically incompetent, malfunctioning POS.Also, the battery drains much faster than it should. Again, this phone is supposed to be a longitudinal phone you can take when outdoors for many days… But you have to bring multiple solar chargers.
Useless if you wear polarized sunglasses Not a bad phone, it runs a little sluggish as it’s loaded down with a ton of bloatware. Also, the default launcher sucks, it won’t allow you to switch away from the default search bar LOCKED to the top of the screen. Also, you can’t add ANY WIDGETS from your apps. You can easily hack the phone to get rid of the bloatware and download a new launcher, etc.The biggest issue is the screen is unreadable while wearing sunglasses in the phone’s “normal” way you use a phone. In order to see the screen with polarized sunglasses, you must rotate the phone 90 degrees into landscape more. The majority of the apps on this phone will not recognize and rotate the display to match the orientation despite rotation settings in the phone or app.The inability to use a ruggedized phone which is also waterproof while wearing sunglasses is enough that I will return this phone and select a different one.
It’s android 13 GO They sell it was Android 13 it’s is not it’s android 13 GO a stripped down version of android 13 it’s terrible. Only half the screen works to pull down notification menu and the other half is the settings. There’s no reaction to pictures available in this Go version. The Google search menu at the top of screen is advertising what to search you can not turn it off. No screen shot with one click of the side button set up. No Google lens for pictures but a Google lens for reading text that didn’t even work and it’s not in the camera area it’s on the search at the top of the screen where it advertises. Last straw is being on video while talking kept cutting out every 3 minutes. To many problems that’s enough I returned. They need to be honest with what your getting its not full android 13. Look into Android 13 GO to see if that’s good for you.
I got this phone as a gift So it lasted about six months top and i started getting signs of being full and now its just stuck on the turn on picture but also the screen would flicker lines and colors and made weird nosies that arnt any specific sound but loud i was going to return it but time has slipped out of the return but i wouldn’t recommend this phone my iphone held up longer then this phone … thats saying something just be aware one day the phone might not turn on … late review but yea
Awful phone. Freezes up or freaks out daily after three months of ownership. Waste of money Awful phone. Freezes up or freaks out daily after three months of ownership. Waste of money
Built to last I bought this phone for my nephew who is 11, I wanted something that is robust. All is well so far, the price is right, the speakers are loud. The battery last for quite a long time. Very pleased with what I bought for my nephew. I’d definitely recommend it especially if you needed it for a family member who is in their teens
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.
So, I was actually looking at Blackview’s tablets when this phone caught my eye. My son uses my phone for whatsapp calls to his friends when playing on his playstation. He’s quite heavy handed (on his 4th controller) so thought this phone might solve a problem for me.First impressions, it’s really nice. The phone itself is rugged, has a nice protective case built in that looks like it could handle a decent knock without any trouble. The screen is great, 6.5inch, nice and bright and clear, nothing to argue about there. It’s very responsive to use, not as fast as my phone (Samsung Fold 5) but not slow by any means, very nice.It can support 2 SIMS cards and a Micro SD card to improve the storage (some of the dual sim phones I’ve used before don’t let you use the SD slot and a second SIM at the same time, this appears to have 3 slots on the hold for 2 SIMS and an SD card although I haven’t tested that yet).It’s IP68 waterproof which I had to google to check myself what that means. In simple terms, the first number is the dust proof rating, 6 being the highest and the second number is the waterproof rating with 9 being the highest. IP68 means its fully dust proof and waterproof with the exception of high pressure hot water (at least that’s my understanding). So, it should handle spillages and a quick dunk without any trouble at all.It comes with 2GB of memory but an option to increase this to 4GB total by using some of the storage as RAM (I believe that’s how it works). Mine was pre-configured as 2GB+1.5GB so 3.5GB in total.It’s going to be a christmas present for my son, but I’ve had a couple of days playing around with it while he’s in bed and I think he will be over the moon with it.So far, so good. It’s a nice phone, sturdy case, responsive enough when in use, expandable memory, dual sim and waterproof all for £110. In all honesty, I can’t find any faults with it at all, it’s not going to beat my Fold 5 in terms of performance, but then again it’s a fraction of the price!

Lo compré para regalar a mi sobrino que todos les rompe la pantalla enseguida. De momento está muy contento con el, sigue en perfecto estado y le funciona genial.

Mobile internet and tethering isn’t great. But as a shock and waterproof phone it’s great.

Software is slow and glitchy. I don’t think this is official Android product. I stopped using after a few weeks. Very heavy.
