In this review we are going to review one of the phones that is attracting the most attention in the market for low-cost devices . The Blackview BV9600 has arrived as a simplification of its predecessor, the Blackview BV9600 Pro . With this, the Spanish phone brand, Blackview, seeks to access a larger audience and has managed to create a smartphone with very good features. Unsurprisingly, in some respects it has managed to outperform the previous model, but in others it has fallen a bit short. The movement of the developers is very curious, first releasing a “Pro” version of a model that will later come out without that label. Next,we are going to review the different factors that will influence the final opinion, and also, you will see the technical characteristics of this smartphone .

Design: Blackview BV9600, what features does this cheap smartphone have?

This phone has a pretty daring design , especially in its shape. It has flattened tips, these give the model a peculiarity, although it is something that the previous Blackview BV9600 model already had. In general, this is going to be the keynote regarding the design of the device; to copy the style of the Blackview BV9600 Pro. With a black plastic and gray finishes, this device does not stand out for being beautiful, but for being different.

The design of the Blackview BV9600 is very similar to the previous model of the brand

Its measurements are 162.9 x 81.4 x 12.85 mm and it weighs 234 grams , not counting the metal and plastic casing that the model has included. It is not a particularly small or light mobile, but it is within the standards set by other brands in this regard. The cameras , which we will talk about later, are located at the back of the phone , in the case of the main camera, and the front , on the other hand, as a notch on the front .

But the Spanish company has also thought about adding design issues. For example, resistance to water and dust , a very useful feature; in addition to having a fingerprint sensor located on the sides of the phone . We wanted to place this last feature in this section, because it not only stands out for its functionality, but for being in such a peculiar place. It also allows, as if that were not enough, facial unlocking.

Blackview BV9600 screen and cameras

It has a 6.22-inch touch screen and a resolution of 2248 x 1080 . It’s a big , efficient screen , and you shouldn’t be able to ask for much more, so it’s surprising that it has AMOLED technology . This advance, and the own brightness capacity of 400 cd / m² , make everything look very high quality, especially in color themes. It is a mobile with a multitouch system , nothing that is surprising, since almost everyone has this possibility. But if there is anything that should improve, it is in the amount of usable surface , which is just over 70% due to the large amount of frame.

In the photographic section, this model has been a step back from its predecessor. The main camera with a 16 MP sensor , and an added 0.3 MP one , is a bit worse than previous models. The results in night mode have more noise and are generally of a worse quality, in addition, it does not have a flash so it is difficult to take quick photos. Even so, it is a camera that fulfills its mission very well and is not at all the best facet of the device. The front camera is exactly the same as the previous one, 8 MP , allowing good quality selfies to be taken.

Internal memory, battery and connectivity

The internal memory of this device is 64GB , but it supports a micro SD card up to 256GB. Running out of memory on the phone will not be a problem with the Blackview BV9600, something to be welcomed considering the problems that a low capacity phone can give you. Despite having the slot, 64 GB is enough for a standard use and it is appreciated not having to make an additional investment.

As for the battery , like the previous model, it has very good results. It is of the non-removable type , and has a capacity of 5580 mAh and a charging current of 9 volts . But what stands out are the features that has the battery, both the fast charge such as wireless recharging . It can also be charged with the most common type-C plug USB charger in the industry. This smartphone will not leave you stranded because of an inefficient battery, since, with a maximum use of it, the duration is more than 12 hours .

Finally, connectivity is not far behind and continues to surprise. It has everything necessary for a mobile to stand out in the market . It not only implements the basics, such as WiFi and Bluetooth networks, but also a USB connector of the OTG model, with which we can easily pass documents, and the NFC payment by contact system . It is surprising that a phone with such an affordable price has all these features, considering that they are additions that are rarely found in this sector of the telephone market.

Processor, adapter, and operating system

The processor of the Blackview 9600 is the Helio P70 Octa-Core , a fairly powerful component for the type of mobile we are dealing with. It is accompanied by a Mali G72MP3 adapter and a 4GB RAM . If to the good characteristics of the screen that we have already mentioned, we add internal parts of a certain quality, we get a phone prepared for everything. Playing on this device is very enjoyable, even in medium-high graphic quality. To all this, we must add that the operating system is Android 9.0 , so it will not have any compatibility problems. Therefore, in the technical section exam, he gets a very good grade.

In short, this mobile phone has surprised us in all aspects. Being a refurbishment of the Blackview 9600 Pro, we expected a drop in quality in many ways. However, this has not happened, because despite cutting in some aspects, it has improved in many others. It is a device at a very affordable price, for all types of audiences and with premium mobile characteristics. For this reason, we recommend without any doubt the BlacKview BV9600 , a great bet from a Spanish company that never ceases to amaze with its smartphones.
