The tough phone market is one of the last few untapped mobile markets, with just a few models existing. Blackview decided to tap into it with the BV6000.... A 3GB 32GB big battery, MT6755 Helio P10 mobile.
According to Blackview, the BV6000 is IP68 certified. We did a short test swimming it around in a bucket of soapy water. Not extensive, just a first test to see if it survives.
Full specs of the BV6000
Display
Some may consider the display a downside, but being a tough phone, this is a mobile we'd expect should have extreme battery life, being 720p helps out a lot towards this end. And, on a 4.7" display, 720p.
It looks good from all angles, even extreme diagonals, maintaining color and contrast without issue.
SOT time
Testing with our standard 720p/WiFi/YouTube/140lux, the Blackview BV6000 battery gave us 10+ hours SOT screenon time.
RAM / ROM
Storage on the BV6000 is 32GB. In addition to the big storage, a TF SD card can be added to expand. RAM is a hefty 3GB; more than enough.
OS
The OS is Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and we'll have a Blackview BV6000 root guide coming up, but for now the OS is excellent. Everything is extremely fluid in regards to transitions and animations. Rapid touch typing is no issue, with zero hangups.
Google Play comes out of the box and is working without issue. There were no force closes or issues otherwise with any of the tests we ran.
WiFi
Outstanding, keeping with the best of the best maintaining a fast, stable connection at 144ft/44m.
GPS
Great. Hitting and maintaining mid/high 30's to low 40's on 7 satellites (see video).
Camera sample images
The camera on the BV6000 is OmniVision OV13853. Do not underestimate OmniVision. This is a good sensor, capable of 1/4 speed slow-mo (see video). Based on our preliminary shots delivers sharp images in line with mid-range Samsung / Sony sensors.
Other components
Included with the Blackview BV6000 is compass, gyroscope, FM radio, SOS button, NFC, atmospheric pressure sensor, dedicated camera button.
This is just a preliminary review, but at this point, we can confidently recommend the Blackview BV6000. We have confirmed the battery as 4200mAh and Blackview is a class act in comparison to some of the other China brands.
We'll have a full review upcoming at http://www.gizbeat.com/review, and will update this thread with a root and TWRP tutorial soon.
