Blackview Rugged Smartphone Unlocked, BV8900 (FLIR Thermal Image Camera) Rugged Phone, 16GB RAM+256GB ROM(up to 2TB), 10000mAh 33W Fast Charge, 6.5” 2.4K Display, 64MP Camara, NFC, Android 13

I found Black views in June of 2021 and got a BV4900 and fell in love with it. Now I got me BV8900 and love the improvements. Still the most rugged phone I have ever had. What I love about the new 8900 the most is the battery life. the larger size and rubber case. The price is also unbelievable. I will never ever buy any other phone but a Blackview

This is my 3rd Blackview phone. I keep them on average 3-4 years, so every time I get a new phone, the upgrade is HUGE, and not incredibly expensive. Prior to finding Blackview, I broke many a phone because I am naturally clumsy - these phones can take a beating and still perform. My only conplaint is that the camera SUCKS, but In order to have a phone thatI know I won't break, I'm willing to make that tradeoff.

Bought this to upgrade from a Galaxy A71, needed a phone that was a bit more up to date hardware wise and more rugged than the common popular models. I am very impressed by the quality, performance and features of this phone, as well as the surprisingly fast processor and excellent camera. Though it lacks a headphone jack, the sound quality is superb, and the additional notable features such as the massive battery capacity and the thermal camera are top notch and deliver stellar performance. It's true this phone is quite heavy, but if you can accept that slight drawback the power, speed and features more than make up for it. I'll definitely be keeping for the long haul and highly recommend this brand as an alternative to the major brands who cater to the lowest common denominator.

I was sad to have to send this phone back. Despite what the listing and some reviews say, at least as of September 2023, it is not supported on AT&T for mobile data in the US.

Yes, it's heavy and bulky but, I like it that way! For an old Contractor with fat fingers it's perfect. It's fast, responsive, and intuitive (like iPads used to be). I hated learning a new phones quirks every time I was forced to get a new one however, this was a joy. Loved the Flir- I have one as a stand alone unit from 8 or so years back- MUCH BETTER AND CHEAPER NOW! Most of the other new technology seems to get in its own way all of the time now a days, it's great to have one exception in my life. My last two Androids were high-end brand names that were like pulling teeth to get anything done with!! I kept thinking- " I thought these things were supposed to be getting faster" but, it seemed dial-up slow because of the redundant and unnecessary questions and cloud-centric bafoonary etc. Like going to the gas station pumps now- "Are you a member? Do you want a car wash today? Would you like a receipt? How did we do today?" - Just let me pump my gas already!!

Very substantial phone, big screen, solidly made, multi-day battery with better reception than a lot of phones in the same vicinity. So far really liking it.

Se quedó con la pantalla negra a la s 2 semanas y ya no encendió, y su número para soporte esta desactivado. No se los recomiendo

I wanted to wait to give a review after several months of using the phone the Fliris the reason I bought it but it's a great phone in general has a ton of memory the cameras are awesome no complaints at all phone is nice and heavy doesn't fall out of your hands like these new small phones.
