Rugged Smartphone, Blackview BV6000 IP68 Smartphone with 3GB+32GB - 4500mAh - 5MP+13MP - 4.7” HD Screen - Android 7.0 Smartphone - Dual SIM Phone Unlocked - Compass - GPS - NFC - Green

Slightly heavier than normal but cosidering its shock resistant and waterproof its nothing to bother about...Battery life seem good..also my phone still worked in poor signal areas whereas other people with the latest suprdoopers costing £800 or more not working. All in all great value for money. Only problem is the charging point requires the supplied lead but other end is standard USB and this fits any adaptor including the sockets in my car.

Great ruggedized phone, bought for a preschool worker and trust me, it's been through everything a gang of toddlers can throw at it. The battery finally cycled out of life, but for a low-cost phone it did brilliantly.

Phone is great, but have a lot of issues with android 7. Wi-fi is disconnecting after few seconds. it's my second bv6000 (last one I sent back) and have exactly the same problem.

I have this phone for about one and a half year. Overall is good, quality of headset sound is very low. Sometimes you barely can hear another person. Also if screen is locked asks you not to cover area in red l, even though wasn't covered. Did freeze screen once, better than a Samsung. Battery life is great and speed of phone as well. Touchscreen feels too sensitive. I just dropped phone while ago from a meter high. Fall on screen on a hard surface, broke touchscreen digitizer. Ordered a new one from China,arrived in 2 weeks. Took it to service to change. They saw the brand, said sorry we don't do this brand. Than I tried myself. Taking apart was quite OK. When removed front digitizer, broke the whole screen into layers and pieces. So ordered another whole front with screen, but different colour as was this the quickest available. Contacted also black view customer service via their website, they never got back to me. If you want to phone, you can get but keep in mind that you will pay the price o cheap brand with zero customer service from manufacturer. Good luck.

I really like it. I've had one for a year then lost it so bought a new one. I've had that for an about a year now and had no problems with either. They are incredible rigid/strong I've dropped them a few times on hard floors and it continues to work fine. The waterproofing is great i frequently take in the shower and play music from it. I notice the IP68 grade was better than my outdoor Christmas lights. I have quite a few apps on it and it still runs fast. The battery life is incredible, its better than any phone I've ever had. The camera is okay. If I lost my phone again I would buy it again. That being said there is a big negative which comes in the form of the phone charger. It has a longer insertion plug/pin (the bit you put in your phone to charge it) than standard chargers and the length of the wire is way too small. You typically can't sit on a sofa or in bed why it charges because the wire is way too small to reach you.

Brought for my son whom drops his phone numerous times. It was for his Birthday and he loved it. Unfortunately he lost it on a very large golf course, it was never found. So we going to buy him another.

Got this phone after my Moto Z died following a small water spill, mainly because of decent price, durability and the nfc sensor. After a few months: - the NFC sensor is awful. Payment success rate is about 70%, compared to 100% on my old Moto Z. I have to carry card/cash now anyway in case it doesn't go through. - the phone seems to be fitted with a very low quality proximity sensor. Thankfully I don't make calls often, but when I do I have to put the phone against my ear just right, otherwise the screen stays on. Don't get this phone if you make calls regularly. - compass keeps decalibrating - I'm using it once a week or so and need to calibrate it virtually every time - low GPS accuracy, though I guess better than other Chinese rugged phones seem to have - UI freezes or restarts every few days, even when using lightweight apps - actual battery capacity is 4,160 mAh Construction is pretty solid though - I've been throwing it around a lot, and there's no scratches or anything. When it's not restarting the UI is fairly fast, so for a texting/media phone it's usable.

It is a great phone, a little too big for your pocket, but oh well, it's ok! Good camera, works fast, and I haven't tried the water proof and shock proof yet, but I suppose it will be ok! There was a bit of a problem with the sound of the calls and with the wi-fi and data button, I communicated this problem to them, and they promptly said that they would send a new replacement phone! They look really accessible :)
