Widespread screen problem

I bought a Ulephone before this one and it started becoming sporadically unresponsive to the point of being unusable within 10 months. This phone, while being branded differently, has the same design language (aluminum sides, same lettering, etc) so I assumed it had a high chance of being made by the same company, so I got one with a...

Rugged and Versatile yet fragile speaker

Great phone, tons of features. The speaker blew out in just a few weeks. Can't listen to music, hear alarms, watch videos, etc. I will have to have it repaired or

It's a beast!

I'm really liking this phone! It is the heaviest phone I've ever owned - but it's no wonder with everything packed inside. It's got a very rugged, substantial feel to it. The flaps covering the charge port & earphone port are a pain to open - but your the protection they offer they're well worth it. The phone has gotten to hot while... Read more

Disappointed by poor battery life!

I bought this phone for the huge battery and all the positive reviews. Also I liked the thermal camera option but was not impressed with the quality of the image. Overall, it was an ok phone but the battery would not last one day. I believe it was defective because it would drain 20% overnight with all apps closed, not acceptable. And... Read more

NOT a REALL "DUAL SIM" phone, WEAK Bluetooth output, Great BATTERY though.

I really wanted to like this phone, but I was let down almost right after I opened the box.The phone supports only 2 SIMs, or 1 SIM plus a memory card, (not 2 SIMs plus 1 Memory card slot, which is what I needed and what the Blackview website mislead you to believe you'll get).The description and specs on Amazon are also vague.I decided...
