You give Pro Tips, here's a Bro Tip. When using biometrics. Always restart your phone before going to sleep. If you suspect someone may attempt to access your phone. This will require a pin or password entry to unlock the phone the 1st time after restart. That way, snoopy people can't unlock your phone using biometrics while you're asleep.

I had a Blackview smartphone and also bought the Tab 11 tablet and I really like both devices and would recommend them to my friends. Backview are not busybodies, you get exactly what you describe and the devices are very well made. I've never had any problems with the devices. The only slight negative is their warranty - they don't offer as much warranty as US or European products but like I told you I've never had any issues so warranty was never necessary. In addition, all products have a super fair price.

There are several satellite systems GPS (US) Galileo (EU) Glonass (Russian) Beidou (China) Most commonly used is the GPS.

Well, that's theirs names, but all are called GPS. It doesn't matter is your device is connected to Glonass from Rusia, to Galileo from Europe or to Beidou from China, all programs say that they are using GPS. And all serve the same purpose: Global Positioning System.

One thing to remember is that the American GPS is run/controlled by the military. There have been reports of them restricting actual usage at times, so it might be good to have other systems as backup.

I use the 9000 for years really good stable phone love the night vision though 👍👍👍

A smashing workshop. What a pleasure to see.

I bought 1 couple weeks ago. Love it. Battery gets a week before charging.

I have the bv9800 pro currently with the thermal imaging feature, it is handy. I used it a few times for debugging my AC failure and also found a hot spot caused by bad wiring in my house. The night vision is really cool though and I am debating "upgrading" to the 8800 (blackview has no rhyme or reason to version numbers). Good review. Appreciate it.

I used to film underwater with my blackview. They really are waterproof, and you can drop it on the ground and ot won't break.

Great review! THIS is how reviews should always be! Now i am certain i will buy one of those phones :) Thanks!

Thanks Jason for the review !

Awesome review! This really helps me choose my next phone! A question! Do you have any advanced options in the night-vision mode? (such as IR-light ON/OFF or maybe adjusting IR brightness)

My 9900pro was amazing. 8800pro is trash unfortunately. My 9900 lasted a long time. 8800 screen lasted one day. And blackview refuses to help or provide a replacement screen. I would recommend staying away from them in the future.

That looks like incredibly good value.

What i like about that phone is the night vision camera features 😀..

Great review the night vision if you use an ir light will you see a better distance??

I got this phone today and was so excited... Up until I realized the audio doesn't work and it had a speaker problem. Got a replacement on the way though so hopefully that one works for me. The night vision camera is pretty fun to play with though and it works about as well as my digital night vision rifle scope

GPS - America(US&A) GLONASS - Russia BEIDOU - China GALILEO - Europe Those are Geopositioning systems, as far as i know Beidou works only in territory of china becouse they use only few sattelites to just cover thier country but it might changed, when last time i check galileo it was not working yet but it was over 1 year ago.

Just wondering about audio ? Can u connect a hands-free headsets? Is any good for gaming and you said the microphone is not good how bad it is ? Ty

Hello I just bought one but cannot find any slot for microSD is there any? Don't you find istruction are too much syntetized?

Question some say this phone can take a microsd card in one of the sim slots can you verify if this is correct?

Were/are you able to zoom in and out when in 50MP mode?

I've used a bv9800pro for just over a year it has a flir thermal camera which is the reason I purchased it for work (mechanical) and the battery is insane even with moderate to heavy use will get well over 35 hours without power saving enabled i have had nothing but Sony's and Samsung's in the past but I'll never go back after having a blackvue phone their build quality is puts anything else I've had to absolute shame and on a durability aspect the only fault I found (due to my field of work) was the material screen for the speaker will allow metal filings through and will mess the speaker up which I replaced the fabric screen with a 5 micron stainless mesh and a piece of face mask material underneath and that's the only issue I have had. Edit: thinking of it I wonder why they didn't send you the 9900pro with the flir thermal camera that would have been ideal for your field of work 🤔

I use two phones, an aging 6S and a Oneplus 7T McLaren, I kinda like both. Apple is very good with updates (my 6S is still getting OS updates), whereas the Oneplus has had fewer. But the Android is much better for my job (Network engineer), you can plug almost anything into it - it doesnt have to be proprietory and as you noted I like being in control of so many settings and customisations. Android still doesnt have a watch to compete with the Apple Watch though!

The other GPS system BeiDou is the Chinese version. Yes the US version is the original however China was intimidated they they did not have control over it and therefore made their own system. BieDou claims to be accurate within inches as US GPS accurate within a few feet. The benefit of this multiple system would be able to pull positioning anywhere in the world with less building interference (tunnels etc that interfere).
