All ok except rear camera. It is only 16Mpix and can interpolate up to 64Mpix but it is useless because pixels are not crisp. Aida64 detects just 16Mpix rear cam. Third party cameras apps could take maximum 16 Mpix pictures using rear cam.

Okay, just got my unit. It's good on paper but after actually using it here are my findings:
1) Camera was pretty decent, it is passable for a phone that cost this much. Can be compared to a phone that is two times the price easily.
2) Speaker is decently loud despite it being mono.
3) Battery charge is speedy, actually amazing they can even package a 33W speed on this phone as well as that 5000mah battery. So far its been good, my sim is still in there but time will tell if it stays consistently good.
4) The unboxing experience was really amazing for the price that I'm paying. It gets a black casing, which in my books don't need another casing cause it's more than good enough. Screen protector is not preinstalled but is included in the box. Charger is 33W again that's amazing and is USB-c to USB-c supporting many different wattages.
5) The design of the phone is a standout to me, the back panel albeit plastic has that glitter effect making it a lot more expensive than it actually is. Really does look like a mid-ranger.
6) Feel of the phone is very nice, has that square off edges making it easier to grip, love it or hate it either way it will leave a trace of it being a phone made in 2023 (in a good way ofc).
7) Has a headphone jack.
8) For a phone that cost $90usd there's literally no new phone that offers this level of performance. This is not referring to used phones that a previous owner has brought their phone to the lavatory to do their 'business'.
Here are the downsides:
1) Screen itself is very blue, the quality of this 1080p screen is poor, comparing to similar priced phone like the Redmi 13C. I have tried screen calibration already.
2) Touch response is slow for gaming (Mobile Legends) I didn't bother trying FPS cause its just not worth the trouble.
These two complains can easily be forgiven as it only cost me 90usd, the benefits GREATLY OUTWEIGHS the negatives. It was easy to shrug off the negatives.

Btw, Xiaomi does the same with many of its Redmi and Poco phones.

But I agree that the phone will be release with the same specifications as this Shark 8, but that is also understandable because Oscal brand is owned by Blackview.

Something weird: Blackview will rebrand this phone as Oscal Tiger 12. It's already on pre-sale in Aliexpress and more info can be seen in their webpage.

Did they decide to copy a second camera bump midway designing it?

Clearly a play at Xiaomi's Black Shark, even the box and "their" Shark logo looks similar to say the least, to said Xiaomi series.
The specs are good tho.
