had it for a few months. for the price simply nothing compares. ive not had 1 new sub 400 dollar phone that works as well as this. then there is the rugged and waterproof features. both work as advertised. The camera is probably on a par with my old galaxy S7. and the battery isnt going to last for days but wirless charging elimnates that as a problem. as a water proof phone to sit on my motorbike for Nav or get thrown around the tractor and workshop this this has no equals anywhere near its price. this was my foirst blackview, I liked it so much ive now got an A53 and oscal C80 for the family to use

                  it's funny, the speaker-portion notes they sound flat and bass-less. So i pulled up my s23 ultra for comparison, and they measure VERY closely, yet the review for the Ultra raves about the speakers. i wonder why? (for real, I'm curious how reliable the subjective impressions are vs the measurements)

                      I love Blackberry phones

                        Anonymous, 28 Apr 20232021 flagship performance? SD SM7325 CPU and Adreno 642L wa... moreIt's around QSD 860 performance, or slightly ahead of the QSD 855 and slightly behind the QSD 870. There's been many flagship devices released with the QSD 870. Also the QSD 888, QSD 888+ and QC 8g1 are flawed chipsets that thermal throttle bringing their performance down to QSD 855 levels.

                        The QSD 778/780G were never flagship chipsets on-paper/in-theory... but in-practice or real-world conditions you couldn't tell the difference. Just like how people cannot tell the difference between a $300 bottle of wine and a $3,000 bottle of wine.

                        Anyways, this BlackView BV9200 looks like an embarrassing product, the 1.5 Year Old Samsung xCover 5 is the same price and the better buy, and the new Samsung xCover 6 Pro is more expensive yet that's even better value.

                          Love my Blackview. It's so tough that I've been known to use it as a hammer.

                            Kangal, 28 Apr 2023Not sure why in this review, at the end/alternatives sectio... more2021 flagship performance? SD SM7325 CPU and Adreno 642L was never a flagship spec lol

                              Kangal, 28 Apr 2023Not sure why in this review, at the end/alternatives sectio... moreWell, becouse Xcover 6 pro is 50-60% more expencive, they are not in the same category. Xcover 5 is over two years older, so you can't compare it to this Blackview. It would be like, iPhone 12 pro max is better than Galaxy s23 ultra, becouse it's cheaper...

                                Have use this phone about 2 weeks.
                                Phone works ok! But there are two things I found wrong:
                                1. After each simple restart or phone turning on shows message "System manager Error".
                                2. There is no Settings menu item "Tap to wake" anywhere! When I start typing "double tap to wake..." in search windows, this option appears in search results (see picture below), but after tapping on it - opens Screen setting menu and there is no this menu item as well as in any other Settings menu! So, finally, there is no possibility to wake up the phone by tapping the screen!

                                  Not sure why in this review, at the end/alternatives section, the GSMArena Team forgot to mention the Samsung xCover 6 Pro. It comes with 4-Year Software Updates and longer for Security Updates. Has a 2021 level flagship performance. Has a great screen which won't have burn-in issues. Also has a friggin User Removable Battery.

                                  It's basically the best phone of 2022, if you care for features.
                                  And it's sturdy, built to last at least 5 years out in the field for actual work. If it's a budget discrepancy, there's still the Samsung xCover 5, which is the same as the 6 Pro, except the 120Hz screen and Processor Speed, yet it's for sale at the same budget as the BlackView BV9200. Honestly that's the better option, since it has the better battery life, performance, display, camera, and 2-Years Software Updates... even though it's 1.5 years old at this point (hence the discounts).

                                    Why the "4star" rating? This phone basically falls short in every key category. Not the best screen ruggedness, bad panel, horrible color accuracy, bad battery life, nothing to write home about for cameras, abysmal chipset, etc. With other ruggeds out with at minimum 2 day batteries, this is just a no.

                                      No headphone jack? Well I suppose they couldn't fit it into this massive, ugly, thick phone. This is a meme of a rugged phone and this fairly positive review further proves why "expert" opinion are worthless

                                        Maybe GSMArena can review the other one Doogee V Max
