Just bought the phone recently.. 5G connectivity & 3 years update makes me in to it. It's a decent work phone as well for leisure. No gaming so much. But honestly to say, camera is less than my other previous phones.. Infinix & Honor..

Good thing their aftersales service is good if there are issues so I guess this blackview besides not being as big as major brands like samsung got good customer support. I might checkout one of their phones as they sometimes go on sale.

Anonymous, 04 Mar 2025can you somehow calibrate the accelerometer in someways? di... moreI sent the phone back as I assumed the accelerometer was miss-aligned in the factory.
However on the blackview website they say there gyroscopes can be calibrated via a code on the phone app.
I don't know if that will work on this phone (can't test it, as I no longer have the phone) , but I wish I had seen it before returning.
There was one small update when I got the phone.
I neglected to test the accelerometer prior to the update, but the camera was the same before and after.
I did try some different camera apps on play stores (were actually worse), but not gcam I'm afraid as don't know where to get a mod from.
Please bare in mind I have no idea if my phone was just broken, something kinda felt off from the get go.
Anyway my opinion of the phone doesn't seem to reflect other people's I've read, so perhaps I just got a duff one.
I still highly rate the phone for performance, reception, look and feel and it's good screen.

Anonymous, 28 Feb 2025It says on there website 3 years of OTA android update. oh i see.... 3 years is fine imo for a not widely known brand that sells affordable decently-good spec'd phones.

Just got the phone yesterday and for the most part it good, the screen is excellent for a hd+ lcd and the speakers are also very good, reception is also brilliant, I can get 5g where no other phones can.
But mine came faulty with the accelerometer pulling one way, so in racing games the car just drives into the barrier at the side (if anyone else has this issue please let me know).
I'm also very disappointed with the cameras, they have little to no dynamic range, colors aren't accurate and are just washed out in anything but bright sunlight, hdr mode doesn't work (it just blows all the highlights out) and Indoors or low light picture are terrible, with no detail, too much noise and are very dark (night mode makes things worse, everything is really soft and has a strange colour).
The software is also not great, although experimental the notch setting don't work, there's no auto start for apps (that I can find) so if you have something like an anti virus software or your own clock widget they won't auto load when you restart the phone.
All the internal apps/bloatware can't be uninstalled or disabled and the battery optimisation for individual apps is hidden and can only be found through "search" on the settings page (needed to find it to stop some apps being terminated in the background) .
I really am upset, I absolutely loved the look and feel of the phone, the performance was great and so was the screen , but there's too many issues that I can't overlook, the camera , the software and mine had a dodgy accelerometer (the phone also has no gyroscope ) .

No comparison to Shark 8. 👎😔 The ram is less, from 26 to 8, the camera decreases from 64mp to 50mp. Nearly everything is worse. It just runs a newer operating system, android 14.

ashdoestech, 06 Dec 2024It's better than you think. Quite a nice display actually Are you sure it is comparable to 1080p screens or better? I have two xiaomi phones 720p & 1080p & i can definitely notice how sharp 1080p while 720p can even notice pixels on icons.
