Solid small phone Update – been 4 months now. Still enjoying the device. The picture saving lag fixed itself. Camera was adequate on vacation – embrace some lofi style editing and it’s good. I do notice the wifi seems to lag sometimes (often). Biggest issue is keyboard size and accuracy. I use a lot of swipe and predictive keyboard. Phone still great for daily useI was tired of carrying around gigantic phones – but still needed Android for apps, android auto, and a decent camera. After looking around a bunch decided on picking this up. Also considered the Jelly but this seemed to have a better phone and more features. Feels great in your hand – but pretty thick compared to conventional devices. Height is perfect. Has everything you need – NFC payments, Face ID, fingerprint, a decent rear speaker, and pretty solid rear and front cameras. Works with Google Fi.My biggest issue is a really long lag after you take a picture while it seems to be saving it. Feels like 8-10s seconds. You can’t take another photo and it seems to not save the photo if you switch out of the camera app too fast. It’s a few less seconds if you decrease the default file size to 5 MP. The 48 MP shots take a really long time to save. Seems to do better with some 3rd party camera apps but still an issue. Kinda weird and makes you realize you comprimised a bit for a smaller form factor.Overall still glad I picked this up and I am done with giant 6+ inch screens
“Rugged” – has hardware problem in first 2 months I bought this phone directly from the Blackview website (I wish I had not). I have used the phone less than 2 months and the small speaker by your ear has a bad vibration or something making the phone difficult to use as a phone. Notifications of calendar events, text messages also make a noise on this speaker and they sound is messed up. Blackview essentially indicates I have to pay for all of the repairs for this “rugged” phone that could not stay together for 2 months. Perhaps if I had purchased from amazon I might have better options I don’t know. Either way, I would not purchase this brand of phone again. I actually like the phone and would really like it if it worked properly, It is sort of a heavy little brick of a phone, certainly feels rugged, too bad it doesn’t live up to being rugged. I will not go into all of the endless back and forth with the “Blackview Support” staff only to say it has been more than a week of emails that essentially keep saying it is my problem to deal with. My favorite line from their support was, “You should contact the seller”, which since I bought it directly from the Blackview website I thought I was doing. I would not recommend this phone and I certainly would not recommend buying a “Blackview” product.
20 days and so far… A few adjustments on the display and you will be fine. Social media usage (whatsapp, IG, facebook) 30-39%, screen 30% and the rest of the apps will take the rest, so going full charge, it gets me 3 days. The only thing that I dont like that much, is the position of the speaker. For the bezels that they put on the phone, there is enough space to put 2 speakers at the front, other than that its fine, so I will give it a 4, cause it is what I was looking for, a rugged, small smart phone with decent performance for the apps that I use and with enough internal space (it can’t be expanded btw).

Good quality
This is my second Blackview phone, very durable, resistant. Everything works well.
