I had a Samsung one before this black view
In my appinion it’s just as good..easy to use screen quality just as good..the battery does go along way too.. packaging great came on time.. impressed to say the least..
Purchased 4 so far, seem to work well, easy to use. Limited backgrounds, you have to download more if you want a bit of variety. Doesn’t respond very well to a stylus , however, the touch screen is fine otherwise. My last Tab bit the dust, this is a very good replacement. Definitely recommend. Sorry this is not a very techy review but I am not particularly technically minded, saying that I am very happy with the Blackview Tab so far.
This is a really nice tablet. It has coped well with everything I have tried so far.
So, as tablets go, samsung and apple have had their day, this is a nice, sturdy, decent all rounder for web browsing, watching netflix, and kids homework, i would say its the best of the non mainsteam bunch, at 169 quid, take the plunge, Blackview seems to be a really make, the 64 gig of upgradable memory makes it a good and reliable choice.

The tablet came with a protective case and had the option of buying a magnetic keyboard.
It has 2 sim slots but I only wanted it for pictures to paint from.
The front and back cameras take good quality pictures and the resolution is sharp enough to see details with vivid colours and a good backlight. The full HD and 16:10 allows for better vueing on the Internet.
The tablet has the latest Android 10 installed and updated once it was connected to the wifi. Once my Google account was set-up it added my account info from my backup without any problem and extremely quickly.
The touch screen is responsive and can be altered to meet your needs. The sound quality and video resolution is a good quality.
The battery life is high capacity although I’m not a heavy Internet or video user.
Verdict. It’s a good quality piece of equipment at a reasonable price.

Very happy with this tablet. It is quite fast and has a lot of storage. I was quite impressed with the included screensaver and case. Also I received an extra gift included with the offer which was the keyboard. I like this keyboard as it does not connect to the Type C USB port allowing me to charge while while using it.
Some have mentioned that it is heavy but I don’t think it is too bad.
Very happy and would recommend.
Does the job, don’t expect it to be a top of the line gaming pad, but it will play movies well
Nice bit of kit for the money . Replaced my knackered super expensive 2yr old work tablet with one of these. So far so good, great for invoicing on the road and I get a much better data signal on this than the last two more expensive tablets I have had in the past.
Typing on screen has been a bit of a pain on 3 or 4 of the letters but if you swear at it a few times it gets better with use.
Very good but some touch screen have to press hard
For the price I paid for this Tab I won’t complain much, the only drawback is sometimes the touch screen is a bit slow but it does the job for me.
Good wifi radius and clear video. Touch screen is a bit insensitive but functional.
This is brilliant, love it if you need a laptop ready good price and up with the best of them this is it.
Very good tablet Brought to replace Samsung A TAB i would say this tablet is just as good at half the price
I have read on other media of the issue with keyboard connectivity, the only solution being to return the products, unfortunately only after I encountered the same issue and was seeing possible solutions.

A great tablet, the picture is excellent and the sound is great . Easy to use, watching a movie on Netflix or running Apps.
I use it along with my guitar, the tablature music is big and clear. What more can I say?
I love it!!
Ok what i dont like first
Battery life is abit short few hours
Brightness needs more ut would affect batter even more
Worst this is the touch screen as hit and miss it neefs a firm push and the OS
Is abit stange when scrolling on YouTube it opens videos every time i scroll so annoying

I use this for a light weight alternative to my laptop. It has good battery life is easy to set up and use. Doubt that I shall use it as a phone, but always the possibility to use if I want to. All in all a useful bit of kit.
I am very happy with this tablet, it is great value and comes with a soft case.

The blackview Tab8 is decent with good build quality and has a basic case included . The Tab8 screen protector spoils the fairly good display quality making it look speckled so I removed it The Tab8 is reasonably fast and the battery life is fairly good.

Touch screen good but did crash once using touch memory game. Camera not very good, disappointing as i bought it for the camera. Otherwise, good value for money if using social media and zoom recordings.

Excellent screen and sound quality. Good connectivity WiFi and BT.
I like it very much specially screen is clear . I enjoyed fully.
The addition of a case and screen protector as standard is a nice touch too.
It’s not the lightest 10″ device I’ve held but it is not heavy either and acceptable for the price.
Probably not great for heavy users or gamers but for kids right through to adult general use it is very good.
The hardware is fairly up to date and software is too. It’s only lacking the latest 6th Gen Wifi but again at this price point I wouldn’t really expect it. The connectivity it does have works very well and is stable. Dual SIM card ability is also a very useful feature although at the moment I’m using Wi-Fi only.
I would very much recommend if you are new to android tablets or unsure.
Set up proved to be painless, good screen display. It’s early days to judge performance and longevity, but at least I can use Android Google apps and games, which other providers grown upon. I have high hopes for this device.

Very good budget tablet with lots of memory for the price. Good screen, good battery lifetime. Very easy to set up.
Arrived very well packaged.
Have had it for less than a week, so still exploring its capabilities.
It has very good GPS.
Slight disappointment that it doesn’t have a magnetometer sensor (e-compass) which restricts it’s usage on Astronomy apps where you use it to actively align up and view the night sky. (A number of the online sources indicate it has a compass: they are incorrect; probably informed by people who don’t understand the difference between GPS and a compass; and why you need both for some applications.
Haven’t been able to set up face recognition access, despite a number of attempts. It is either quite finicky, or simply doesn’t work.
Additional cable connection provided in the box (usb 3 (male) to usb ( female)) does not fit.
Despite these annoyances/ teething troubles, generally happy with performance.

I had to replace Amazon fire 10 as they kept not charging -no fault of mine. So gave up with Amazon fire. Came across tab 8- Just got the tab 8, so far I’m loving it. Love it comes with a case and the earphones. Seems a really good tablet!
My child’s Amazon fire playing up, so now Know where I’m going for my tablets now. Thank you.

And it can access the Internet without WiFi by installing a Mobile Sim Card – just like a phone
Nice clear screen and good colour. Just getting used to it as it replaced an older type. Very happy with it for the price. Easy to use.
Easy to set up and transfer all of our existing android apps and the android 10 operating system appears to be free of bloat ware. Very impressed with the quality of the screen, our photos positively sing when viewed on the tablet. Only one problem that we have noticed so far is on startup the tablet always says that the SD card needs inserting, but in settings the card is shown as inserted and available.

I’m sending mine back simply as I brought it for work and needed something to take decent photos, this unit does not do that despite the 13mp camera. Also it is very heavy so would not recommend holding this for to long and would advise wearing safety boots just incase . Saying that for the price ,if your not that fussed about the camera then I would say good value for money.
I’m very happy with mine and my husband was so impressed he bought one for himself.
Bought this for my husband who is not a fan of technology so needed to be easy to use and robust! Quality product – excellent value for money!
Great tablet, easy to setup, updated via wireless to the latest firmware version. Android 10 with Google Play Store. Has excellent battery life, I get two days with normal use. Plenty of memory to perform all the tasks I have. Overall great value
Honestly very very good. It has a fast operating system the apps load up very quickly easy to use. Going to order the keyboard and see what it’s like for word.
Lovely tablet, I bought 2 but unfortunately one of the chargers dose not work, will I have to get in touch with the supplier or will Amazon sort it out for me
Bought this tablet as my kindle fire was running slow it is a far better tablet than the kindle runs a lot faster and takes better pictures at first I wasn’t sure as the price seemed cheap but the quality of the product is far better than I thought . Exceptionally easy to set up and use ,I have a black view phone and have used that for more than two years without any problem

I hate to admit that now I am closer to fifty years old than forty my eyesight is not as good as it used to be. I am finding my mobile phone screen slightly too small to read in bed. I finally decided to upgrade to using a tablet for surfing the net and watching YouTube videos.
I chose this this tablet because I am already using a Blackview mobile phone and I am happy with its build quality and screen resolution. It is slightly less than my mobile phone but the larger screen more than makes up for that.
4GB RAM is well fast enough for my needs and the 64GB ROM has enough space for storage and this can be easily expanded. The sound quality and battery life is good.
honestly this thing is immense for the price!!! this thing is fast with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM (WHICH IS ALSO EXPANDABLE) running android 10 and it has an Octa-Core Processor which means games dont lag and apps run s smooth without crashing

I have recently purchased a Blackview A80pro smartphone which I find to be excellent so I had no hesitation in buying this Tablet.
It arrived very quickly, I immediately unboxed it to set up. I found it very easy & straight forward to do so.
The graphics are very good & the unit is perfect for what I need for in respect of emailing etc as well as photos & music.
Would highly recommend as it a fraction of the cost of an iPad.

I liked the easy set up but could have a better user manual loved that it feels rugged update good battery life and takes good photos
I ordered that as a gift for my mom. She is very happy, tablet is great quality, it was easy to set up and easy to use even for my mom which is not best with tehnology. Tablet has a good screen size, pictures and videos are good quality and battery last for about 2 days

Replacement for another branded device. Does all I need it to do and does it well at a reasonable price.
An all round excellent tablet picture quality build quality are amazing and the fact it comes with a case included is brilliant can’t fault it I had one for myself and purchased the second one for my siste
The tablet I received was faulty – a corner area of the screen would not respond to touch and after going through troubleshooting with Amazon rep it was agreed that it was faulty and should be returned. OK, I realise that this sort of thing does happen, something developing a faulty after going through quality controls.
But what was really annoying was that the tablet was clearly not a new one as marketed. The screen was covered in very fine scratches as though someone with long fingernails had used it extensively and then returned it because of the fault. Looks like it was simply repackaged sold again without correcting the fault.
As for the tablet, it is really quite a good one for the money and I would have happily bought a replacement had I not found that you could be receiving a used one with a defect.
Amazon should investigate and stop this sort of thing happening .
UPDATE – After Sales service from the company supplying the tablet contacted me apologising for the tablet supplied and offered another one at a reduced rate. I accepted the offer on the understanding that it would be fault free and brand new. I now have it and it looks to be new and working fine. As I said in my original review, the tablet is very good for the money and I am now happy to upgrade the overall rating to 4 star given the company took reasonably quick action to remedy the situation.
Will update further on performance of the tablet after I have used it for a while.

Good size screen . A touch unresponsive in top corner. Need to press harder. WIFI reception not as good as my Samsung phone but with a booster in the room it works fine. Sound is good as is battery life. On the whole it’s a fair buy for the price.
Blackview produce very good rugged phones , however their tablet is a bit disappointing.
However the sellers after sale response was excellent.
Bought for playing music. Responds quickly, easy to set up, good value for money.
Great quality 10″ tablet value for money, high specification for budget price, great build quality extremely satisfied..
It’s a bit on the heavy side. But apart from that it good value for money and works fine
A good product , looks and feels premium value for money .
I love, love, love this tab. Awesome that it comes with screen protector and cover. Excellent screen quality, functionality!
No issues experienced as of ye

When I found that they now do a tablet then no hesitation in getting one as it meet my minimum specification requirement. Again very well built, easy to set up and use. Even came with a protective case. Very content customer and happy to recommend if you need something in this price bracket. 5*
It runs on Android 10 platform , no issue with downloading and installing school programs and applications.
It has clear front and back cameras , once kids competed their homework’s they can take picture or video with back 13mp camera and upload it to their teacher.
It also takes SIM card , personally did not tried it, as no need , kids using it at home by connecting home wifi. Good feature to have if used away from wifi signal.
It also has quite impressive battery life, with combine use it last kids all day with single charge, on night they leave it in charge ready for next day.
Ideal for homework’s, fast and reliable with clear front and back cameras. Also has internal 64GB build in memory, can be increased by adding external micro card upto 128gb.
Kids so far happy with performance.
Best of all, it takes any sim card.
Best one for this kind of money.
Even when standing in my back garden in direct line of sight to the mobile mast 500m away this tablet will only give me H+ and not 4G. This means download speed is a laughable 5-6 Mbps. My old Tablet gets 65-70Mbps download!!
When I had a dig around in the settings the is no option to set VoLTE/Enhanced LTE or whatever they might want to call it. Digging even deeper the tablet does not even have the functionality – see the seen shots.
Update Dec 2020
Star rating updated after being contacted by Blackview customer service and offering a solution.

It came next day and was well packaged. Obviously the tablet but also wired ear phones. A charger, which is USB C so can easily be used by most phone chargers. It also comes complete with a free case. Its not the thickest but it certainly does the job.
Operation wise, it has the latest Android 10 installed. It did an update to this once it was connected to our wifi. I had already created a backup of my old tablet to Google and once I had added my account to the tablet it happily searched the Google servers and installed that backup. I just sat a watched how fast it is compared to my old tablet. Once it had completed I was off and running again.
I also had been using my older tablet as a tv and sat nav etc. This new one is so much faster and feels more stable with the hot spot wifi connection in a moving vehicle. It does have twin sim cards you can use if you want to have it as a phablet, but thats not my choice.
In all its a great tablet so far. I have linked it to my car easily with the bluetooth. Installed Alexa upon it and now using my music apps it just plays away to my hearts content and is pretty quick in finding a track that is a little obscure. I am very happy with this tablet. Time will tell if its upto the job next year or maybe the year after. But great spec and fast to boot. Great screen quality, I do watch TV on it and again the quality is very good. For the price and spec its well worth the money.
