I have been using this phone for over a year now. When it first came out, I was hyped by what Blackview promised. When it came, I loved it. But when after one month of usage the fingerprint reader stopped working completely, and all the Blackview Service did was send me a new fingerprint reader and suggested that I repaired it myself, I returned back to reality.

And there were more issues to it than just the reader. The software is not ready neither. All in all, it feels like they rushed this product to the market and abandomed it there. A damn shame, it could have been the perfect phone for people who like robust but strong products.

I kept using it though, because even with this phone being a disappointment to what Blackview promised, it is better than many other products. In the long term, the battery life still is great, it is very fast in every day use. And it does tank quite a punch. I have dropped it alot, on concrete as well as in muddy water. It got some scratches, but nothing more. The only thing that broke, seems to be the Nfc, recently I keep getting errors, that NFC stopped working and this error returns all 5 minutes, even if I force turn Nfc off.

All in all, if you need battery life and rugedness, all while having a fast and stylish phone and if you dont mind living without a fingerprint reader and with the occasional error, this phone will serve you well and long. If you want a well rounded up product, dont buy this.

Thanks so much for this review, any chance you can do the same for the Blackview A100 ? It has recently launched and will begin shipping this week

Thank yo for the review. Is there a reason, you are not testing the navigation part of the device?
