What’s the first brand that will come into your mind
when you decide you want to get a rugged phone? Nine times out of ten will be
Blackview! The Chinese phone maker is indeed renown for producing high quality
rugged phone since the get go.
In recent times – more specifically, earlier this
month – the BV9500 Pro was announced on Indiegogo. The phone received a huge
support from customers that were looking for such a high-end rugged device.
Today though, it’s turn of the specc’ed down brother – the BV9500, after
removing the hardware intercom module, and lowering the memory and internal
storage to 4GB and 64GB.
The BV9500 is
much more affordable, thus attracting those who weren’t willing to spend too much
on a top specc’ed rugged phone, but are ok with a better than average tough
device that will run everything just fine. BV9500’s announcement also comes
with a big pre-sale event, but before we dig into the event details, let’s
check BV9500’s specifications out.
The Blackview BV9500 features all the certifications
you’d ever need on a rugged phone, going from the IP68 and IP69K ratings to
MIL-STD-810G (military grade rating). The smartphone then packs a massive
10000mAh capacity battery with support for 12V/2A quick charge; it supports
most frequencies on 4G LTE in different countries and regions.
The rugged phone comes with some rather good
internals, going from the 5.7-inch 18:9 FHD+ screen and Helio P23 MT6763T
octa-core processor, to the 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Blackview’s BV9500 also sports a
16MP IMX298 dual rear camera system, a 13MP selfie snapper, it supports
wireless charging as well as NFC.
The Blackview BV9500 goes on sale in July 10th
at 16:00 GMT+8 up until July 30th. If you buy one in this time period then
you’ll also get a bicycle mobile bracket, a W1 wireless charging pad and a
tempered glass film. So, if you were looking for a rugged phone, buy it before
the 30th to get all the accessories for free.
