As one of the pioneers in rugged devices, Blackview continues to breakaway from traditional phone designs. The Blackview BL8000 is another just launched rugged flagship phone. Just like the higher model BL9000 (here's a link to a little write-up I made), this also features a similarly sized second screen on the back albeit with slightly lesser resolution 360 vs 240. Quick further differences are the CPU, GPU, speakers, and charging speeds. It is a rugged phone that doesn’t compromise on core functions, there's much more waiting for you to explore, such as NFC, face unlock, useful toolkits, and a 4-in-1 navigation system with dual frequency positioning. Read on;



1. Dual-Screen Magic in Every View!
The rugged phones category is still a niche one. Nonetheless, Blackview be trying to lead the pack with their dual-screen models. Showing that rugged phones can still look and play good. Nestled within the phone’s rear, the 1.32" secondary screen of Blackview BL8000 provides quick access to the clock, music, step counter, weather, compass, and camera. And importantly for some, without any moving parts unlike the Flip/Fold designs. The main display sports a 2.4K 6.78" Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 display with 120Hz smart dynamic refresh rate, and 550nits peak brightness. The phone’s sound system is also noteworthy with the smart-PA box speaker setup.



2. 5G Performance Thrills in Every Task!
Tired of rugged phones that crumble at the slightest hint of demanding tasks? Fear not, for the Blackview BL8000 has arrived. Corny, I know..... Powering the BL8000 is the 6nm Octa-core 5G MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor with up to 24GB(12GB+12GB expansion) of DDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS3.1 ROM. Unsurprisingly, it supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and due to its impressive 8,800mAh battery with 33W charging, its designed for those frequently on the move.



3. Photography Marvels in Every Shot!
Just because it's classified as a "Rugged Phone" doesn’t mean camera quality should be sacrificed. Photography enthusiasts will be pleased with the 50 MP Samsung® ISOCELL GN5 rear camera and 8MP wide-angle camera with 117° FOV support, while the 16MP front camera takes care of selfies with its 90° FOV. The real surprise that awaits shutterbugs on Blackview BL8000 is the all-new ArcSoft® 8.0 software with up to 18% photography result improvement.



4. Durability Reigns At Every Angle!
Ruggedness is the key to the Blackview BL8000. Despite being IP68/IP69K/MIL-STD-810H-certified as its forebears in its market, the BL8000 still added reinforced CORNING® GORILLA® GLASS 5 with 4x scratch resistance on both sides. What’s more, this phone also comes handy for adventurers with Glove Mode 2.0, helping users get work done with gloves on, even in extreme outdoor conditions from -40 ℃ to +80 ℃.



5. Brilliant Operation With Every Byte!
Blackview BL8000 might catch users' eye with its robust exterior, but it’s the surprises within that truly captivate users with DokeOS 4.0 based on Android 13, which puts users at the center, offering improved convenience, smoothness, privacy, and personalization.
