I’ve been a fan of Blackview smartphones ever since I first laid hands on the BV9000 Pro back in 2018. It’s big, it’s chunky, and it’s super robust. It’s so robust that you could use it as an improvised hammer, and I did just that on one occasion (the smartphone thought nothing of it).
I love that handset, and I continue to use it today when I want a device with extreme reliability. So, imagine my surprise and excitement…
