On Wednesday we were talking about chinese mobiles cheap that were trying to reach the high end. The technology companies of the Asian giant that belong to the lower divisions, continue to be determined to leave behind that not-so-distant manufacturing past and that in many cases, still manifests itself through some deficiencies in the devices. However, generally speaking, we can see significant improvements in the smartphone sector that have happened relatively quickly.
Today we are going to tell you about S8, which could be considered the current flagship of BlackView launched at the end of 2017 and that will dance between the medium and high range although it will also have some limitations or weak points. Next we will see what all those lights and shadows are and, as we usually do when we talk about this type of terminals, we will try to see if it will be worth it or not.
Designer
With an all-metal cover, the most striking thing in this sense would also be the most common in many other supports: Fingerprint reader rear, a thickness of 8,5 mm within the average, and also, the fact that it is available in 3 colors: Black, Gold and Blue. As we will see now, the curved screen will absorb the side edges. The panel to body ratio is 75%.
Performance, key in many Chinese mobiles
Now we will tell you more about the image and performance properties of this model: As we said before, the multi-touch screen is curved on the sides and reaches the 5,7 inches. However, his resolution, of 1440 × 720 pixels, it may be somewhat tight. In the photographic section, we see lights and shadows alike: Four cameras, two rear and two front that in the case of the main lenses, reach 13 Mpx, but that in the secondary ones, they stay in the VGA. The RAM and the ability to storage are two of its strengths, reaching the 4 and 64 GB respectively but being able to extend this last parameter to 128. In the performance section we see characteristics of the mid-range. The processor peaks at 1,5 Ghz and the operating system is nougat.
Availability and price
As we said at the beginning, this phablet was officially released in the last quarter of 2017. In Europe, it is possible to find it through two channels: The company's official website and the main Internet shopping portals of the Asian giant. The average cost of this model is around 189 Euros after having suffered a reduction of 100. What do you think about the S8? Do you think it has a balanced performance or not? We leave you available information about others Chinese second-brand mobiles such as Allcall Mix 2 so that you can learn more about these supports.
