What do you know about Blackview?

[Android Central Question]

A client of mine just showed me his new phone, and I hadn't heard of the phone or manufacturer before. He said he had a rugged, waterproof phone, and my thinking went right to CAT, but it's a Blackview BV 8000.

It almost looks too good to be true... so I figured I'd float it here, see if people have insights into it.

Thanks -

So far as I know, Blackview are specialising in rugged phones. They receive favourable reviews, and the one you mention seems to me well-specified and affordable, and tough.

Any concerns similar to the ones about Huawei that the government has raised?

Nothing that I’ve heard. But I’m in the UK.
