At $210 at the time of writing, it is a compelling alternative for those who want something simpler but as speedy. A UV sensor, Android 9.0, the Mediatek P70 and a gorgeous FHD+ display. The dark horse of this race though remains the Ulefone Armor 6E (opens in new tab) which is a paired back rugged smartphone but still keeps the best bits. It does however have a bigger battery and extra accessories like a walkie talkie, a game pad and a power module. It doesn’t have a VOC sensor, a heart rate monitor and runs on Android 8.1, not 9.0. The obvious (and only) competitor to the BV9700 Pro is the immensely modular Doogee S90 (opens in new tab) which costs about the same, is a tad thinner and uses the Helio P60 rather than the P70. Since this is a Mediatek-powered smartphone, Duraspeed - which limits background app activities - is included by default. Top marks to Blackview for the FM radio (which requires a wired earphone as antenna) and for the user manual app. A useful gaming mode is available - which blocks phone calls when gaming plus we like the Cell Broadcast and SOS feature as well - useful in case of emergency. ![]() Other than the usual flashlight and compass, there’s also a useful sound meter, a barometer (which incorporates an altimeter), a heart rate app and a gas monitor. Speaking of software, there’s a number of applications, most located in the toolbox. In line with other Blackview smartphones, this one uses a customized version of Android 9.0 with the security patch level dated Maand the latest firmware from June 20. That was especially true for graphics intensive tests like 3DMark or Seascape, less so for CPU heavy ones. It was not a walk in the park but the performance delta was around 10-12 per cent depending on the benchmarks on average. Geekbench: 1540 (single-core) 5872 (multi-core) 5451 (compute)Īndrobench (sequential): 293.82 (sequential read) 191.38(sequential write)Īndrobench (random): 81.26 (random read) 21.94 (random write)Īs you can expect, the BV9700 Pro delivered the goods and the P70 that powers it is a marked improvement on the P60. This is how the Blackview BV9700 Pro performed in our suite of benchmark tests: Note that these are unlikely to be IP68 rated as the BV9700 Pro. The first one is a $50 night vision camera equipped with a Sony sensor and a wireless charger is also available. A 4.38Ah battery - smaller than most of the competition - powers it.īlackview has also planned for a number of accessories to complement the BV9700 Pro. Note that the BV9700 Pro also supports wireless charging (10W) plus NFC. So many pixels may reduce battery life as well as negatively impact performance. ![]() A smaller display means a higher pixel density or finer details on-screen. The 5.84-inch display has a notch, an 19:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. That can be augmented using a microSD card slot but you lose the ability to run two SIM cards simultaneously should you choose to do so. ![]() That’s paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB onboard memory. ![]() Powering the device is the newest mid-range CPU from Mediatek, the P70, which sports eight cores and an Arm Mali-G72 MP3. This is what the Blackview BV9700 Pro packed:
