A great phone full of features you would expect on a much more expensive phone
had a small problem but it was very quickly resolved by there excellent customer service
certainly worth 5 stars
Easy to set up as long as you have your google account details handy. Only niggle being that once SIM from old phone inserted and start up process begins google wants to send a security code to your old phone, so laptop needed, however that is not an issue with this product.
all features are nicely made, battery life seems good, though it is a little slow to charge.
he phone overall was very good with a few minor problems which were resolved by restarting the phone
I am quite impressed with this phone, especially going by the price I didn’t expect much but it has exceeded my expectations. Firstly it is very user friendly, it didn’t come with a large instrument booklet but it doesn’t need one as most functions are pretty easy to figure out and are well explained on the phone itself.
Secondly it doesn’t come with a lot of pre installed apps and the few it comes with are really quite useful such as child mode which means my son can use my phone without me worrying about him swiping notifications or going on the web.
3rdly the battery life is superb and the screen is huge! I bought this phone as a second phone but I’m loving it so much I’m using it more than my main phone.
I’m loving it, though I’ve not sussed all the apps yet , but no complaints as yet, love the finger/ and face recognition, battery life is good
So been using this for a couple of months now , at first I was a little disappointed the camera is poor and the speaker isn’t the best but it looks smart and serves it’s purpose for me anyway . If I could have afforded a better phone I wouldn’t of got this .
Very good phone but bad memory (the phone comes with a case)
Phone was great at start, past 3 weeks it has started freezing and when restarted screen stays black. Have had to factory rest 3 times causing loss of everything on the phone. Such a shame as loved it when I first got it.
Had this phone just over a week, It’s a good phone easy use Evan for a cave man like me. So yeah I would recommend it for the money
I’ve had a few Blackview phones over the years and never been disappointed, the A80 Pro is no exception. The screen is crystal clear, the phone is fast and responsive with a decent four lens camera and flash and the SIM card and TF cards fit in the side, so you don’t have to take the back off. It has really good battery life, too.
This was bought as a replacement phone for a family member. It works well like any android, just needs headphones with calls because the highest call volume is very quiet and difficult to hear. Otherwise, great. Edit: I initially gave this 3* because of the low volume calls, but customer service contacted me to resolve the issue, which I’m happy with.
Had to have charging point replaced after 16 months. Told by repair shop that main board will not last much longer maybe a couple of months so all in all not a good buy.
Company sending new phone. Can’t ask better than that, great service.
Battery life personally lets me down but thats coz I run my cctv streaming app on it. I’ve not used face recognition or fingerprint stuff yet.
Lack of Storage memory and often loses connection with TF/SD card have to keep taking the back off to re-insert SanDisk Card. It’s Ok for a budget Android phone. But drops well short of being Great !!
Blackview customer service is excellent, really helpful after-support when I had an issue.
The phone itself is easy to use, takes great photos and a good size and weight.
The sound quality is impressive for the cost and the phone was delivered quickly and easily via amazon.
I would certainly buy another blackview phone in the future.
Great cheap phone works perfectly a little slow but used as a back up phone. Battery lasts days!
Had it just over a month and phone now showing no SIM card despite a working SIM card being inserted into both SIM card slots – assume it’s a software error! Bought 1st May, but Amazon returns window shut 1st June. Thought I was stuck with a glorified WiFi phone handset for WhatsApp only. However, After Sales have now offered a replacement phone by emailing me direct.
This is a good phone for the price , I’m a happy custome
This phone is amazing.and good value for the money.so happy with it .thanks
As a first time user , I would have appreciated a user manual.
Phone was ok but delivery was a day late . Tracking said was next delivery but never came on the day
The phone is brilliant value for money and the customer service was great when I had any questions.
I will admit when it worked all was good but it stopped working and the company were excellant and offered to refund or replace as I was out of time to return to Amazon good company to deal with customer service excellant thank you
The phone it’s looking very nice comes with the case protection including,the face recognition it’s not good only if you are outside or in very good light place ,battery it’s worst even if you don’t used the phone still the battery will finish in one and half day which is not good,if you used the phone will last only 9 hours, the android system it’s very very slow as well,using only for phone calls and messages and time to time navigating on website it’s ok.
There was an issue with the phone but Blackview customer support was very helpful in fully resolving the problem.
his phone was so much better than i expected i am absolutely delighted with it and all thge functions it does. excellent value for the money
For the price this is a great little phone. The screen size is good and big, the battery size is very generous, i expected it to be slow for the price but it is smooth and responsive. Camera is ok, nothing great but good for most uses.
The screen glass is not gorilla glass or other toughened glass so be sure to also get a good case to protect the phone, but would recommend as a good budget phone.
Needed a cheap and cheerful phone and I’ve had a blackview before .
Will not accept giffgaff as a primary sim card
The facial recognition hardly ever works
The speaker is awful
And the memory is terrible
The screen is a good size and the battery lasts .
I’d probably pick a better back view
Changed as blackview customer service has been amazing and are changing the phone for me
If your thinking of buying a phone below this phones price range, then a word of caution…a phone below this phones price range may impress for a few weeks, but based upon my own personal experience and other customer ratings has a tendency to require collection; but there is hope for phones of this price range and guess who’s on the right page-you are! This phone is really impressive in design, protective casing, themes, smoothness of scrolling, adaptability to website logins and apps. The camera colours are very ‘as is’ it doesn’t overly exaggerate unless you push it to and the video is crystal clear as well. Charges fairly quickly as well and the battery itself is not bad at all, and on average only requires a daily charge if you do a lot of demanding stuff with your phone. It also pumps a decent amount of volts into your phone calls as well because calls are very clear and powerful. Really good product.
Good quality ,easy to use mobile ,large screen ,fairly fast and smooth operator,sound quality not so good however app can be downloaded to boost volume as well as using a Bluetooth speaker, overall really impressed and a lot better than my old Huawei p30
The volume button very hard to press, besides that all is well….normal functions, value for money…..I will buy it again
..
Really like the phone, but stopped charging.. Do not happy that I spent so much money on this phone and it won’t charge.. Unhappy to say the least…
Update – I wanted to update this review as I was contacted by the company who sold me the phone from their customer service. They were great and offered me a new phone or my money back in full. I’ve asked for a new phone and hopefully it’ll be OK. The phone itself is good, I liked it. Lots of features and is worth having, I unfortunately must have got a duff one.. I’m sure the next one will be OK.. Worth buying from this company, they were extremely helpful.
Update again.. Sent info to company as asked. Not heard anything yet.. Hope they honour their word..lets hope their star rating doesn’t go back down.. Lost a lot of money on a phone that doesn’t work.. Willing to give it another go. Don’t want any hassle. But after I sent details I’ve heard nothing.. I would like to give five stars, but this will only be updated again to that if or when I get a replacement. Hope they honour their word.. Let’s see!!
Last update – they’ve have honoured the phone and sent it to me. I am very thankful and grateful for their commitment and that they’ve honoured their word. Would I but my next phone from them, yes! Even with the messing, they offered to replace the broken one and they didn’t have to. Thank you so much!! Really Good Company!!
This phone is good and has not lag as far as I can see. As I’ve had a well known phone which was a 2021 phone but was lagging from just switching from one part of phone to another. This phone has not done no such thing. The only down side of it is that the back comes off like an old phone but works great. And screen protector and case come with it which is fantastic. And I would be looking to buy another one within a week or two. Camera is good. Setting tends to work like an iPhone but it’s an android phone. If you understand what I mean. Out of 10 I give it a respectable 7. Honestly. Some people may have experienced different views. But mine is 100% on how I feel and what I see for my self.
It’s a good phone. Looks nice, is quick. Good size. Good price.
Blackview A55 is excellent value for money, very good battery life , easy to set up, camera is amazing!! And to top it up it is very affordable. Purchased in blue and looks good, very sleek. Just what I needed. Very happy with the purchase. Most of the family have been using Blackview for the past couple of years and it’s a popular, go-to brand for new phones. Great customer service from Amazon & seller too. Thanks Amazon & Blackview 🙂 A very happy customer.
Does everything that I want a smart phone to do; Moved all my stuff from my old phone in a jiffy. I don’t have high demands of a phone, I don’t play games, watch the odd film, and surf a little, and use a few apps.
It does it all smoothly and quickly and it is easy to navigate everything. You can keep your i Phones and yer exorbitant monthly rentals. At 80 quid a lump I am well chuffed, I will spend what I have saved on a day down Southend-on-Sea with some fish and chips and a Rossi ice cream, and a few beers to wash it all down. I am in love with my new phone
It is a decent valuable phone to be used for business purposes. It has enough storage for all the essential apps that I need to use, camera is ok, phone speed and performance is not bad at all, doesn’t lag, can handle multiple apps running in the background. I will take this phone for holiday or clubbing, just incase I lose my main phone, the quality is decent enough to not having to look bad when I take this phone out, not complaining.
I bought this phone as a spare whilst having mine fixed and it’s brilliant! I can get all my apps from my old phone on here and its got a good battery life too the only issue is storage you get 16gb and when you have all the apps you want on it it does run about slow but what do you expect from a 100 phone. Really happy with my purchase would highly recommend
It is slower to what I’m used to, however as needed a cheap phone and next day this was the best alternative.
Great phone brought it for use for my drone excellent picture quality no hassle to use great spec for the price paid, if you’re after a budget phone this is the one, very happy customer also brought the earpods excellent sound
Insufficient memory to accept some Apps, I should have bought the 32G version, but purchased a 256 SD card from Amazon for 20.00 job done
IV bought a blackveiw a80 pro a year ago and very pleased. Face recognition and fingerprint is very good. Would recommend this Mobil for its performance and value.
A superb phone better than previous models. 1) camera is good easy to operate and good results. Used it to advertise my caravan.
Email. Set up my e mail really easyandnow not something I would be without.
It’s screen is really clear and sound is clear andplenty of options. In short a phone I would not be without. It has wi-fi calling connects with my car via Bluetooth what else could you wa
Absolutely bargain, perfect for the money.I’m so pleased with this phone as I can use it with two SIM cards and it costed 10 times less from my previous purchase. It worth the money. This phone looks like a much more expensive brand than it is.
The Blackview A80 Plus is an amazing phone for the price…!! The battery life is exceptional and the quad camera produces great photos in any light. The screen is very clear, a nice size without being overly large and the fingerprint/face recognition security factors are reassuring. This phone has lots of storage which can be added to with an extra sd card if needed, it’s also unlocked so will take any sim card for any network. The cost this phone is outstanding for what you get, it has a 2 year manufacturer warranty, which is definitely a big plus…!! I personally feel that it’s much better value than some of the big names out there who offer the same if not less for a lot more money…..
My advice is to buy a Blackview phone, you definitely won’t regret it…!!!! I give this phone 10/10…!!!
This phone replaced an identical one that was dropped in a sink full of water.We are very happy with the quality and functionality with this Blackview smartphone,this is our third A80 pro.
Really nice phone competes well with much higher priced ones. only one thing that I find lacking is fingerprint reader it is very slow compared to other makes but not annoyingly slow. The rest is a pleasure to use. This is the second Blackview A80 I have bought, I got one for my Daughter and was so impressed with it I got one for myself.
Absolutely shocking. Very poor phone with slow WiFi and even worse occasionally. The phone is slow and frequently closes installations as well as shutting off and not powering back on at times. Would definitely not recommend and would avoid at all costs.
Update: Despite the review, the customer service has been excellent. Very impressed with them reaching out to me and trying to resolve the issues.
I bought this as a replacement for a Blackview A7 which I bought in 2017 and which was grinding to halt – running out of storage etc. – as well as not supporting 4G. No complaints about the A7 – value for money and a good little phone.
The A80 Pro is a big step up and it works very well as a phone and on the internet. 4G is a big upgrade from 3G!
The camera is also a significant improvement although nowhere near the quality of the upmarket phones my grandchildren wave at me!
Very pleased – good value for money. Too early to say whether it will match my old A7 in terms of durability.
Bought this for my husband to replace basic mobile that was well past it’s sell by date! It took him time to get used to a smart phone but is really impressed with it. Battery life good. Can’t fault it at the price, does everything my Samsung does. Did not rate face recognition or fingerprint reader as he has not used these applications.
I’ve been one of the suckers who every couple of years suffered with an ever slower phone with poor battery performance. A perfect motivation to upgrade and take on a new contract. No more ! I’ve ditched the contracts and bought one of these Blackview smart phones and it is brilliant. My battery seems to almost never run out and it does everything my Samsung ever did but better and for a lot less money. My only small issue is the position of the fingerprint sensor which makes it tricky to operate if you use a protective cover of any kind. Do yourself a favour, break free of your contract and try one of these. You won’t be disappointed.
I am very pleased with my phone. It’s good value and as good as my previous phone which was Galaxy .In fact it’s probably better.Screen is very clear,camera good quality. I have only had it a few days but so far brilliant.
It’s a bare minimum phone only buy if you want the most basic of basics. Tesco should have this in their value range.
Crashes repeatedly throughout the day. I can only use one app at a time otherwise it runs out of processing power/memory.
Has to be restarted at least once a day because it stops responding. Several times I’ve thought it’s finally bricked itself.
The features mentioned all work it’s just that the internal hardware lets it down.
Full disclosure, I have received a full refund for a 5* review but I refused to return the handset without confirmation that I would receive a properly functioning replacement.
Their customer service while friendly, doesn’t respond well to enquiries outside of their script and only use pre-written responses (for English speakers).
PROS
1. Okay, I’ve had this phone for 6 months now and I gotta say, I’m impressed by its sturdiness! while it isn’t a rugged phone, the corning gorilla glass 3 is definitely living up to the standard. I’m so clumsy I’m always dropping my phones, on the floor, on stones, over a height of a meter mostly, and the only thing that got damaged was the screen protector, but the screen itself has endured, where my Samsung J7 pro’s screen cracked and gave out twice on me under the same conditions, this one is flourishing.
2. The battery is pretty good, as long as it’s fully charged, I can go the whole day functioning with my data on.
3. Storage of 64 GB eliminates the need for an SD card mostly, giving it the ability to run apps well.
CONS
The camera quality is not bad, but it certainly doesn’t beat the Samsung J7 pro in terms of resolution and quality. Even at lower megapixels, my Samsung J7 pro still had a far more smooth and crystal clear resolution of both images and videos.
My charger stopped working, maybe it couldn’t survive me as I have a friend who also bought this very brand and her’s is still pristine…
Overall, it’s a good phone for a very budget-friendly price.
I have used this phone for a while now and have had no problems, it has performed beyond my expectations.
The specifications of the phone are top notch and handle everything I need better than any other phone I have previously owned. I also reached out to the customer service to ask some questions about the phone and I had an immediate reply that was very helpful.
The weight and screen size are perfect for me, screen resolution and colour quality is excellent, there has been no slow down using any apps and the camera gets great quality. Really just don’t have a bad word about the phone and wanted to give it a good review.
Bluetooth doesn’t connect correctly to external speakers, phone keeps freezing.
I was a bit sceptical about ordering this product. But when having it in person it is vaule for money. It was easy to set up, and using mobile data or Wifi it is really fast, (I am on the EE Network but cannot speak for other networks) Using fingerprint recognition and face recognition is easy to set up. I have not used the front and rear camera ye
For the price of it I’m well happy. Camera not all that everything else bang o
Very nice phone..surprised at the amount of equipment included..impressive security measures including fingerprint & facial recognition I.D
The first thing that impressed me about the A80 was how easy it was to set up. I just moved my sim and memory card from my old phone to the A80, switched them both on and within an hour everything including Apps had transferred! Incredible!
After using the phone for a few days I am very impressed – Android 10, loads of memory (no more having to uninstall apps to make room!) 4g, excellent graphic screen and multiple lens cameras (Sony technology) producing superb photos. All in all, incredible value.
I use fingerprint detection to access the phone. Occasionally it doesn’t recognise straight away, however, this may be due to cold fingers or damp atmosphere/phone. 4 stars for now, but when the weather is better, maybe 5!
This is not a critique on the quality of the product RATHER What would it cost to produce a basic simple leaflet or an instructional video on line to show how to setup/navigate the various steps easily on useage of this phone ? Having just laid to rest a simple 12 year old mobile decided to splash out on this all whistles and bells type, but, being of a generation not so familiar with some modern terminology / meanings have found it frustrating attempting to navigate through various steps to set up. The screen consistantly more often than not switching off,clearing going blank in seconds . The unit itself appears well made and I am in no doubt that it will serve my main priority having now managed to list phone contacts . I have posted question on this and in general the replies suggest try this or that and thanks for their input, but on trying to get actual clear guidance have drawn a blank or to even find a contact address for this phone alas all to no avail ! In the past phone makers used to give a basic user guide leaflet why not nowadays ?
I love this phone. Always had Samsung’s but moved to this and love it. Easy to use, excellent quad cam. Great size, looks good, fast, loads of memory – perfect and all for a brilliant price. I don’t understand why people spend hundreds on iPhones when this does exactly the same.
Have never had such an annoying and disappointing mobile. It cannot hold a wifi connection, it stutters and stammers and buffers, disconnects whenever it feels like and I am very annoyed that I didn’t return it within the first 48 hours. The photographs are a poor quality, the keypad is often unresponsive and I find it extremely slow to respond. Am currently using my old Nokia purchased in 2018 with a smashed screen rather than this mobile. I had a Sony before, and bought this one as it has the same photo setup. Wouldn’t recommend at all. The only reason for 5 stars is that they won’t refund me until it is rated higher. Buyer beware.
Battery life very good all day no problem at all,finger print reader perfect not been locked out once yet over all very pleased excellent value for money
This is my very first smartphone. I very much like it. It came super fast, in a beautiful box, with protective case and screen protector (that you have to put on yourself) and headphones / charger. Setting it up the first time is very intuitive.
I did got a scare when I had no choice but accept something regarding ADUPS – which was a spyware 3 years ago but I browsed the internet to look for any malware on my device and I couldn’t find anything, so I think that threat doesn’t concern this phone (but I am new to smartphones!).
The setup was super easy and it comes loaded with many apps so you can use it straight away. I haven’t put my SIM in yet but I use it standalone or with my home Wifi and that’s perfect, Bluetooth works well too.
I really find it to have a quality feel in hand, the screen is absolutely huge – I suggest you take a ruler out to measure how big it will be!
Installing apps is trivial. The interface is very intuitive – a friend had warned me against cheap phones which would have an unintuitive layer over Android but nothing like this on this phone.
I was very much hesitating with the Hafury Note and what tipped the balance was the bigger battery and the 2-year Warranty.
Seller responded my questions in email quite fast.
I haven’t tried the photos yet but so far I am really happy and pleased.
I’ve had this phone for a few days only.
I have moved to this from an iPhone7.
The iPhone always had a microphone problem requiring a headset to make any calls.
I’m a simple user of a mobile phone:
take photos and share some of them via whatsapp or google photo sharing.
view linkedin every so often
check emails (but don’t really type and send many)
read kindle books and web blogs.
use the google maps sat nav in the car.
I rarely make calls.
First impressions:
Phone feels decent quality.
Setting up was ok although the google account update took quite a while.
Doesn’t seem to be much non-android bloat on the phone.
Ring tone volumes are very loud (am only mentioning this as I read a review that they were too quiet).
The camera photos are sufficient for me. I have a DSLR if I want all singing and dancing photos. For snaps, this is just fine.
The screen is decent enough too, although I suspect a top end phone would put it to shame. Not a problem for me though.a
Main things for me are battery life (iPhone was dying) and responsiveness.
The battery has been superb – hasn’t died any of the three days I’ve used it but have charged it full overnight regardless.
Responsiveness is the worst aspect – apps have a lag when opening but I can cope with it. The iPhone was like lightning in comparison but it still costs 3 times the price today.
The phone is big and pokes out the top of a rear pocket on my jeans.
This doesn’t bother me and I find the extra size very welcome as my eyes get older!
One strange thing I have noticed is when several calendar reminders come through at once (work ones where I have 3 for the same starting time, and I pick which one I want to attend at the time) and the notification makes a crackling sound rather than clear notification bings.
again though, nothing serious for the price of the phone.
In summary,I love the phone for the money.
I paid 87.99 for it and am amazed at the quality and function for that money.
Purchased both the phone together with the separate case. Both arrived today.
Set up within a matter of minutes following all the online instructions, installed both Sim card & SD card, carried out as asked from thereon, both work perfectly.
Still getting to grips with the phone but don’t see any foreseeable problems.
Very pleased & impressed. Very user friendly.
Highly recommended.
he phone is on the large size, but for what i need it for that’s ok, i have not tried all the things it is capable of like face recognition, fingerprint reader and a lot of other things, but i find it easy to use. There was no instructions with it so it is makes it harder to find out how things work.
Brilliant phone. Looks and feels like a phone that is many times the cost of this one. Brilliant camera, Brilliant video and sound recording capability. Have installed a 256mb sd card leaving the internal memory freed up to run the phones main capabilities. Can’t be praised enough.
Good Bye Apple Hello Blackview … Arrived in under 24 Hours and have easily set this mobile up and put my contact numbers in added some apps and have to say I am well impressed with this mobile… I have had my I Phone 8 Plus for 3 years and Today Its going to be replaced by the A80 Pro… Yea its not a 1000 handset but its Awsome for what it is… Well worth the Money …
I have ordered two of these phones. The first was for my wife, and then a short while later I ordered a second for my daughter. In both cases they were looking for a good quality smartphone and had assumed they’d need one of the big names to get the functions they needed. Not the case – they can do everything they need with this phone! Great value for money. Wife loved hers which is why my daughter was happy to give a try too. One of the biggest issues with smartphones is, with so much tech packed into them, you’ve got to expect a certain number of handsets to develop faults. My daughter’s phone developed a fault and I feared the worst. Having dealt with phone repairs through the big players I was expecting a whole ton of hassle! Not with BV Mobiles! Excellent customer service and understanding and they’ve sorted everything out! Why pay mega bucks for a name? You can get the same tech for a fraction of the cost with one of these phones.
Don’t want to spend a lot? Then have a punt. Came in under 100 including buying a wallet – got one with a damaged box – who cares! Set up fine, works fine, battery life ok so far, finger print works fine, not so sure about face recognition although there are times it is open when I don’t expect so could be face rec kicking in and I’m just not used to it.Speaker for music, bit funny, but unless you want to annoy fellow passengers with your collection of Mantovani, not an issue. Mine came with no lead but as it used same as Sony, not a prob.itching to do something whizzy with all the lenses. Keeping in mind almost everything is made in China definitely worth a pop.
Brilliant phone and does everything it is asked and if it is any help for someone else, my hubby can now use the internet outside:
Hi there, my hubby thinks he’s cracked it!
These instructions have worked on his phone:
Go to
1. Settings
2. Wi-Fi
3. add networks
Under ‘use Wi-Fi’ green bar at top
you should see the a bar going across underneath the green bar, might have to wait
The internet icons should turn black.
I tried the phone outside today and picked up the internet, so hopefully that should work for you.
I have been impressed with the phone thus far had it for just over two weeks now .
What a phone for the price where do I start, the phone is a good size screen is crystal clear, sound is perfect nice and loud, phoning is perfect do not have a bad thing to say about this phone, no lagging or freezing had loads of apps open. Brilliant. Bought as I smashed my samsung and this looked similar but for a fraction of the price.
As I said love the phone only had a week, will update in a few weeks but dont see me changing my opinion. Brilliant phone. 5 stars from me.
My old phone died and was on a contract but I was unable to find a suitable replacement at a reasonable cost, so I decided to take a chance buying a cheaper phone and using my original SIM card. I wasn’t expecting miracles as the new phone was about a third of the price of the old one. Up to now, I have yet to find anything that this phone is unable to do compared to the old one. It was easy to set up, including the fingerprint recognition (which my old phone didn’t have) and the most impressive function is its battery life, it will function for up to three days without charging. It hasn’t put a foot wrong yet – fingers crossed!
Good phone. But had a lot of trouble setting up mobile data. Some pictures turned out blurry apart from that everything else is good. Delivery was fast. The help I received from product support via Amazon app was fast and and solved my mobile data problem
After one year of usage there are still no issues, its very reliable. The battery capacity has deteriorated somewhat, but that’s only to be expected.
From 2010
Five full days, one charge on first day, battery still at 24%. So far I can’t find anything but positives about this phone. I’ve never owned an android so there’s been a bit of exploration to set it up. So far, and it is early days, it’s light years better than the iphone 6 it replaced.
About 100 days usage now. Really satisfied. Headphones sound quality is great for radio chat shows but not so good for music. When other better quality headphones are used it works fine. The phone radio function is very good. The fingerprint function works really well for my online banking. Lots of generic cases and screen protectors etc available online. Battery life is astonishing. Power of hotspot is very good too. I can run my computer and my sons ipad, nintendo, my Ipad and have enough bandwidth to do video chats all from one sim in the blackview.
I’m still discovering the functionalities, but I have no complaints. I’m looking for something negative to say but I can’t find it yet. So far its been a fantastic phone for the price, for any price. I bought two of them. Best phone I’ve ever had.
I have only had the phone for a couple of days but once I had it set up how I like I can hardly tell the difference between this one and a top of the range Samsung! It has a very good screen size and very clear picture. Seems to work fast and has all the specs you would look for in a more popular brand. The only spec that I would say isn’t too quality is the camera but I am not one for pictures anyway. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a cheap alternative to a very expensive phone.
Screen gives really good clarity and contrast, the functionality is simple and reliable. All in all I can’t see why people spend 500 plus on a mobile phone, other than for vanity and to show-off. I’d rather have something like this at a fraction of the price.
Best phone l have brought big screen clear picture finger print excellent face recognition reliable very good value all round excellent phone l give the 10 out 10 long battery excelle
Latest Android version, great battery capacity, lack of bloatware. Competitive price.
The big battery dictates a large, weighty phone. Notifications of incoming messages are usually absent, and incoming phone calls can be impossible to pick up. The camera shutter click is largely inaudible.
There’s a non-standard procedure for screenshots involving swipe down. Poor customer support from the Shenzhen manufacturer. No NFC.
This is a very good phone for the cost, easy to operate and clear screen. Bought as a quick replacement to my Samsung S10 which I dropped and broke screen, currently not happy with Samsung charging over 200 to get screen fixed. The Balckview Pro A80 is definitely value for money, overall a great phone and a very good camera front and rear.
I ordered this phone to replace my water-damaged Samsung Galaxy S7 but I didn’t want to pay silly money for a new one.
The phone arrived next day and my first impression of it was it that is was a nice-looking item, appeared robust and sleek, with a large screen and was easy to set up.
The fingerprint scanner is on the rear of the phone, so you are only able to use your index finger (unlike my previous phone, the S7, which let you use up to 4 different digits).
But this phone also has a pattern log-in, too.
Unfortunately, my S7 was totally dead, so I could not try the Smart Switch data transfer onto this phone, although I did manage to download all my photos and emails from my S7 onto this phone.
I could not, however, retrieve my Notes from the S7, which included all of my passwords and online banking details (in coded form), so I could not log on to online banking without those details. This was the game-changer for me.
The camera on the phone leaves a lot to be desired, as the videos I took seemed a little blurred and shaky, although
watching Netflix on this phone was excellent, the screen is clear with sharp detail and colours.
All the usual Android Apps can be downloaded with Play Store and the WhatsApp had a lot more detailed Emoji’s than I had on my previous phone, however, this wasn’t a selling point for me.
All in all, for a phone costing just over 100, I was quite impressed with it, just the data transfer issues from the S7 to the Blackview and the poor quality camera were the main let-downs in my eyes.
I gave it a try but, sadly, I decided to return this phone and pay a little more for another Samsung (this time the M31), as I am hoping that with there will be no data transfer issues and I will be able to retrieve my notes and passwords via the Samsung Cloud.
This review is for the:
Blackview
Mobile Phone, Blackview A80 PRO Smartphone Quad Rear Camera Dual SIM Free Android Phones with 4680mAh Big Battery, 6.49 inches Waterdrop Full-Screen, 4GB RAM+64G ROM, Fingerprint, Face ID – Black.
I purchased the above due to having to send my much more expensive “Big Named ” device off for repair – once again!
Being disabled, I rely heavily on my phone to both keep in contact with my family and in case of Emergency. It also links in to my smartwatch as well.
Initially I purchased a device, but after receiving it I foundit was faulty being unable to connect to either a mobile network, WiFi or Bluetooth. I connected Amazon who provided a return lable. I advised that I would be without a phone and therefore required a refund in order to purchase replacement. During the short wait for my refund, I did a great deal of research and read a lot of reviews on Amazon and othe forms of media prior to deciding upon the Blackview A80 Pro. I was desperate to get the phone as I am awaiting a medical procedure which requires both myself and my wife to go into self isolation for 14 days, prior to the procedure.
I decided upon the Blackview, due to its size, battery capacity and speed of the processor. Upon arrival I was surprised to find that the Blackview was only slightly smaller than my main phone .
Again I was surprised with the spec of the Blackview, being Quad Core with 4Gb of RAM, but only 64Gb of memory however, unlike a number of devices available, not only does it support 2 SIM Cards, but in addition it also takes a Micro SD Card. I installed a 128Gb Card purchased from Amazon at a very reasonable price.
Before even starting the phone, I ensured it was fully charged. A surprising fact, batteries have memory! It is therefore recommended that you fully charge the device prior to powering up.
In addition I was also pleased to see that the phone came with a phone case (yes it just a simple cheap one, but still enough to protect you phone until you get a case of your own choice. Not only that, it comes with 2 screen protectors, 1 already installed and a spare one contained in the Information box. The finger print sensor is located on the back, and in my case the perfect position regardless of which hand your using to hold the phone. It is very reactivate and enables a very quick logon.
On powering up, the phone was fast to connect to both WIFI and mobile networks. Initially I found the UI (User interface) a little slow. This is basically your home screen and layout etc. I therefore installed one I have used previously, but this is entirely down to user choice. Other launcher are available on the Google Play store. The Phone runs on Android 9 (which will hopefully soon be updated to Android 10). It did however immediately install a security patch Dated Jul 20. I then started the process of recovering my apps from the Google Play Store. I find the best thing to do, is place your phone close to your router and let it do its thing. The time it takes depends entirely on how many apps you have, and obviously the size of the applications. It has a huge battery being 4680mAh, which is actually bigger than my main phone. This should easily cover your daily need (obviously depending on use).
The phone not only looks good, but also feels good in the hand. The volume and power keys are located on the right hand side, which initially took a bit of getting use to. The screen is bright and vibrant, and can easily be seen in direct sunlight, I know this because I tried it lol.
Again I was pleased to see that it would, after downloading the app, connect to my Smartwatch (a real advantage as I can take calls via my watch). Using this same app for the watch also allowed me to connect to my ear buds – an additional bonus.
I have been using this phone for about a week now, having purchased a decent case on Amazon for only 6.99. (See pic of case above). Pleased that my phone is covered against accidental drops and scratches. I would strongly advise installing an anti virus package, especially if you intend to use the phone for home banking or purchases online.
The phone comes unlocked so you should be able to use any network provider, but make sure you have a micro sim card, otherwise it won’t fit. I suggest, if you have any doubts, contact the seller using the Amazon messenger system. Better to be safe than sorry.
The phone comes equipped with 4, yes 4 cameras , made by Sony. Oh I forgot about the front facing “selfy” camera located in the “tear drop” front, top, middle of the main phone screen. You should reasonably expect fairly good quality pics. Although I don’t really use this functionality very much the pics I tried, whilst playing with my new phone were all good quality.
The phone come with a UK 10W fast charger, a USB cable and earphones . All in all, a lot more than I would have expected for a large 6.43 inch phone especiallyat for the price I paid.
Although this phone was initially purchased to cover me until I get mine back. I have to say I am seriously impressed. It has most of the features of the “Big Brand” named phones available, but at a fraction of the cost. It even has a 24 month warranty – not bad for a phone (of this size) that only costs 109.
If I were to be totally honest, if this phone came with an SPEN, I would happily use it all the time, and reduce my current contract to calls only. It seriously matches up to the vast majority of big named devices available. I even noticed while watching some reviews online, it actually beat some and came very close to other in benchmark test (this fact will only be of interest to the geeks amongst us lol).
I showed my son the phone prior to going into self isolation. He sells phones for a major network provider. He was really impressed and gobsmacked at the price!
Admittedly there are some poor reviews for this phone, however I suspect this may be due to not reading the instructions correctly. Howsoever, we must also remember that device’s such as these are mass produced, therefore it is inevitable that one or two faulty ones, may slip through. Again I suggest contacting the company, especially as it comes with a 24 month warranty. I haven’t found any reason to fault this device. The call are clear, it easily connects to 4G and WiFi. The speakers could be better, but at the price they are fine.
This would make an ideal gift for someone especially a teenager, as it has all the functionality without the massive upfront cost.
Easily a excellent phone at a great price. Note: I noticed it priced much higher on other sites.
In summary, and bearing in mind the cost the Blackview A80 Pro earns a well deserved 5
I hope you found this review helpful
Only had it 4 days but so far looking really good. It’s less expensive than my previous Blackview phone, and slightly taller – that plus the full screen area is very helpful for eyes as old as mine. It was easy to restore my apps and contacts using google backup. The sim card tray is much easier to access (despite needing glasses and a steady hand to use the card pin). The fingerprint lock is new to me but quicker than the pin number and will come in handy if I forget it. Camera is easy to use and picture quality very good. I am very happy with my purchase.
It is amazing for the price if your on a budget you cannot go wrong with phone I highly recommend this phone fast CPU with 4 GB Ram 64 GB ROM and I added a 32 GB micro SD Card, you can add more if you like.
Overall a very good budget phone

I bought this phone for my wife, who is the first to admit that she isn’t tec savvy, but wanted a phone with a decent camera.
She finds it relatively easy to use, and is very happy with the quality of the photographs.
It was very straight forward to transfer phone numbers, apps files etc, from her old phone to the new one.
It has a decent battery life, and the overall look and feel of the phone, is of nice quality.
For the price and specs it warrants a 5 star rating. If it was more expensive then no.
All in all a good phone at a realistic price point.
Would I recommend it, yes.
You get a decent phone, for not a lot of money.
The phone itself is good quality and sturdy. It comes with a UK Plug, earphones, charger, SIM tool, and a contact card all neatly packed in a box as you’d expect from any other high end manufacturer.
It is snappier if you use the developer tools option to speed up the animations of loading, closing apps etc. and works like a dream. The camera on the other hand is surprisingly good for a sub 100 phone. It is very clear given the right angles and focus and can easily take some great pictures with it. The battery life also lasts a very long time however the super fast battery charging in comparison to the P30 Pro is slow; not slow as in days, but it takes a good hour and a bit to make it to full charge but from the prices you cannot even complain considering this can last a good day or two without needing to be charged.
They give you a free rubber case and screen protector which is great too..
The fingerprint ID on the back works better than most phones I’ve used, it’s near enough instant which is quite a shock. It is snappy yet a little bit stuttery when sliding from app to app but nothing noticeable to a user who wants a cheap; powerful phone. The build quality seems to be amazing too. They also offer a VIP card for 24 hour service if you have issues which is a nice touch.
The screen is vibrant and looks pretty damn good too considering the size of the display and the resolution however you can notice some lack of detail in some areas which is to be expected.
I am extremely satisfied with this purchase in replace of my P30 Pro (which I dropped in a river 🙁 ) It is a budget monster to say the least. Unfortunately some people have had bad experiences which I cannot relate to as it has done nothing but be amazing for me for the time I’ve been using it. No crashes, no black screens. It works as a phone should and is more than capable for the price tag it has. I would HIGHLY recommend this phone to anyone who is on a budget but needs a bit of power behind them.
I’d become frustrated by the lack of memory space on my Samsung J3 and was attracted to this phone by a combination of memory, price, favourable reviews and features. It has turned out to be all I’d hoped for. I’m a reasonably tech savvy septuagenarian but there were things I was struggling with which took, by very tech savvy son in law, about 15 minutes to sort. And he pronounced himself impressed by the package.
I bought this as a stop-gap between a phone upgrade and I wasn’t expecting much from a smart phone costing just over 100. However I am presently surprised on how well it performs and may well keep it for the long-term.
The phone loads apps really fast. Has a two-day battery life. Runs two SIMs without any problems. Location services/ maps seem to work as well as my previous phone. Camera is really good for day time shots, but not so in poor lighting conditions, but then you cant have everything at this price. Highly recommended!
i dropped my samsung j5 and broke the screen so looked for another phone and came across the blackview brand which i had never heard of.i had read the reviews and thought for the price i would give it a shot.im well impressed as its bigger and faster than the samsung i had and best of all……..the blackview doesnt come preloaded with 5 million apps that im never going to use and cant remove from the phone like most of the branded phones do nowadays.great phone and well worth the money and now i think i will be buying blackview phones from now o
Can’t believe I only paid 109.99 for this! It’s quick, good quality and comes with a gel case. Would be 5* if the speakers were better, a bit tinny but will pair with all my Bluetooth devices easily. Just waiting for the wallet case which should be in about 3 weeks, guess this is coming from China.
I had never heard of Blackview but needed a phone to replace my Samsung so I took a punt on this and so far I am so glad I did.
Simply fantastic piece of kit for the money. Really quick, fingerprint recognition works effortlessly, battery lasts for ages regardless of what you are using the phone for. 64GB of memory means there is loads of space even after the operating system uses some of it. Screen is large and crystal clear. I was even impressed by the earphones which deliver nice quality sound. I thought given the battery size it was going to be heavy and unwieldy but absolutely not.
Really I cant praise this phone enough.
Only problem I had was setting my APN Settings. My Tesco sim kept coming up with O2 Settings, so the customer
service at BV Mobiles were great and helped me solve the problem . Battery life, picture quality, phone, WIFI,
everything is so great for the money. My old Phone was a Sony but I love the A80 Pro and the best thing is I saved
a fortune by purchasing it !!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously the camera and screen are not as good as high end phones but they are adequate especially considering the price of this!
The battery life is also great and charges fully in a couple of hours as it comes with a 2A charger.
I bought this for an elderly relative during the covid lock down and considering they’d never used a mobile before they found it easy to use.
There is no NFC which again is no surprise for the price but that’s about the only downside I could come up with :). So if NFC isn’t important to you then this is a great buy!
Very happy!!!!!
