Rumors making rounds around the web since last year
were talking about a Helio P90 that would be announced by the rugged smartphone
manufacturer, Blackview. Recently, the company announced its latest flagship
Series -BV9800- and expectations were contradicted as it turned out that they
adopted Helio P70 instead. Of course, that didn’t affect the new series in any
way as it has many other killer features like the FLIR® Lepton® thermal camera
as well as a Sony® 48MP sensor and until now the Indiegogo campaign has reached US$ 520,000 backed by 1300 backers.
That was until today as the Blackview Marketing
manager, Yan, revealed that his team is busy for the upcoming Helio P90 rugged
phone, Blackview BV9900, that will launch on Indiegogo before the end of this
year. We don’t expect to be widely available on e-commerce platforms before
January, however, it is expected to be announced in December. Judging by its
name, it will be the company’s next flagship and will carry a competitive
features combo, otherwise, it wouldn’t launch on Indiegogo where customers always
pick products that sell themselves.
According to the marketing manager, the upcoming
Helio P90 flagship phone is a great addition to the BV series, so you can
expect the same waterproof, drop-proof and dustproof performance as in every
rugged smartphone from Blackview. That’s all the information we have so far,
we’ll keep you posted if anything new comes up.
