Earlier Blackview released a poster that hints at a
best camera rugged outdoor smartphone that will soon hit the market. The poster
doesn’t contain too many details of what the company will be launching and the
launching time but today, information from the company sheds some light to the
mystery: The new model is called Blackview BV9800/BV9800 Pro. Let’s take a look
at some more details.
Firstly, the new device will come with a triple rear
camera setup with the main sensor being the famous Sony IMX586 48MP sensor. The
IMX586 is currently the most widely used camera sensor in the midrange to
flagship devices and devices like Honor View 20, OnePlus 7, VIVO X27, Oppo Reno
10x Zoom, and Xiaomi Mi 9 sporting Sony’s best mobile camera sensor to date. Of
course, these devices cost from around US$ 600 to US$ 900+.
According to DxOmark camera testing website, the
IMX586 ranks at the top of their list both in video and photo shooting. Not
only does it feature a high pixel count but also is large at 1/2″ with 1.6μm
pixel size (via pixel binning). As Blackview revealed, the 48MP sensor will be
combined with a 5MP depth camera to achieve beautiful bokeh effect. The 3d
camera will sport an ultra-wide lens offering a 120º field-of-view and a 16MP
sensor.
It was about time a rugged phone with the Sony
sensor hit the market and who would be better to bring one than Blackview that
has a long tradition in the rugged smartphone market. The sensor is proven to
be one of the best around and the fact that it will be available in the budget
rugged phones BV9800/BV9800 Pro is very positive.
