3. Announcement. Blackview BL8800 5G and BL8800 Pro 5G - armored smartphones with special cameras

There has not yet been a formal press release announcing the new Blackview BL8800 5G and Blackview BL8800 Pro 5G smartphones. But in fact, all the information about them is already available. Unless there are some misunderstandings with the cost.

Blackview BL8800 5G

Smartphones are similar. The difference is only in the cameras. The younger model has a night camera with infrared illumination. And in the older one - thermal. The rest of the devices are identical. Solid modern average level, superbatteries, protection...

Blackview BL8800 Pro 5G

Blackview BL8800 5G is additionally very similar to the one announced at the end of the article.Last year Blackview BV8800. Only that one does not have support for 5G networks. And, accordingly, there is a different chipset (about the same performance).

Back to the newbies.

With security, everything is traditional. Declared IP68, IP69K, MIL-STD-810H. It was specifically clarified that the smartphone complies with the latest revision of the American military standard - 810H, and not 810G. As usual, the manufacturer does not provide an exact list of passed tests. Apparently, the smartphone was tested for temperatures, drops, vibrations ... The rain test was also successfulpassed - who would have doubted something ... Taking into account the passed IP68.

The chipset is the super popular MediaTek Dimensity 700. In AnTuTu we are waiting for a little more than 300 thousand points. (In the Blackview BV8800 mentioned above, where there is no support for five-ji, there is a MediaTek Helio G96 chipset. In fact, this is exactly the same Dimensity 700, only with bitten off support for 5G networks ).

A lot of memory. 8 GB operational, 128 GB permanent. Support for memory cards is not mentioned. It looks like it doesn't exist.

The screen is large, 6.58" (104 cm²). The resolution is high, 1080x2408 (401 ppi). There is no information about the increased refresh rate.

Battery�yka - wow - as much as 8380 mAh. Charging is fast, 33W. They promise that the time to fully charge the smartphone will be only an hour and a half.

The front camera is ordinary - 16 MP. Both smartphones have four rear cameras. The first pair is identical. Main module Samsung ISOCELL JN1 with 50 MP resolution plus depth sensor.

The third and fourth camera of Blackview BL8800 5G is an 8MP wide-angle module and a 20MP infrared night vision camera.

The third camera on the Blackview BL8800 Pro 5G is a FLIR Lepton thermal camera (most likely FLIRLepton 2.5 with a resolution of 80x60, i.e. 0.005 MP). The fourth camera is an auxiliary one (5 MP), a thermal image from FLIR is superimposed on its image.

Other. NFC module is available. The fingerprint scanner is located on the side. There is even a barometer. The only fly in the ointment is the dimensions and weight. 365 grams, 17.7 mm thick. Too much for my taste.

Smartphone pages have already appeared on AliExpress. Here you can admire the BL8800 5G, and here both devices at the same time. Now the price is $499.99 (₽37400) for the younger model and $599.99 (₽44900) for the older one. But the finalwhether this is the price or pre-sale, I can not say. In my opinion, it's a bit pricey. For the same Blackview BV8800 can buy for only $269.99 (₽20200). It hardly makes sense to overpay more than $200 just for supporting 5G networks.
