Blackview Rugged Phone BV9900E 6GB+128GB Waterproof Phone, 48MP Quad AI Camera, Helio P90 IP68 Rugged Smartphone, 5.84" FHD+ IPS Screen, 4380mAh Wireless Charge, NFC, OTG, Dual Sim - Black

Rhe phone came well packaged, with almost full battery.

I have been using it for a few months now and i am happy with it most of the time. the hardware is really good, the phone moves fast, takes good pictures, the battery could be bigger, it drains in one day with heavy use, can hold for 2 days with lighter usage. the back of the phone feels slippery to me. i have been trying a few usbC to jack3,5 adapters but only one of them worked and only if plugged in at the same time. there was no adapter in the box with the phone. it is full of preinstalled apps though and you can't even disable some games. it is really annoying...Pros:-fast-big storage-camera is really goodCons:-no jack 3.5 port or adapter-full of bloatware-battery could be bigger

It's tough and robust, bigger than expected thicker and having the corners squared off means the phone is larger in reality. Camera is good but crashes or can be unresponsive meaning you have to close and reopen it. My browser is some what the same. In all I'll continue using it, it's idea for the work I do where phones get punished and it does what I need.

My initial impressions is that this rugged 6GB Ram, 128GB Storage phone was fast and responsive and well constructed. The UI around closing apps and seeing what running etc is different from most other phones and strange at first but is growing on me.One of the reasons for picking the BlackView BV9900E was the rugged waterproof nature and unlike my older UleFone, this has wireless charging so I didn't have to open any of the rubber bungs to use it in normal use. Also with the convenience of Wireless charging the much shorter battery life of the BV when compared to the Ulefone wasn't so much an issue.With the BV, I purchased an Anker PowerWave 2 Pk charge as Anker appeared to be one that a review said worked but neither of the 2 chargers would charge the BV. Whilst talking to Anker support, I brought another 2 chargers from Ebay by a brand called Fantasy to see if I could find a solution.Anker support did not have a fix for the BV charging problems, but after some experimentation I found if the BV was raised 15mm in the cradle it charged ok. 30 mins later and a 3D printed spacer was printed (see image) and attached to both Anker cradles. Since then it has charged reliable every time its placed onto the cradle.The other two Fantasy chargers I also found worked but again they were sensitive to the position of the phone, so as flat and no obvious guide on phone position were not so easy or reliable to use.BTW, the images with this review were not take by the BV but with the Ulefone which has a much poorer camera.

Phone is pretty decent.. rugged which is why I bought it and the camera is very good.. sometimes the fingerprint scanner needs multiple trys to work but does work. I'd of expected the battery to last a little longer than it does considering its 1200 mA more than my old phone and that lasted most the day.On a whole, good phone I bought it because I needed something relatively powerful but rugged to. Battery life is my only real gripe.

Everything seems to be fine apart from the fact the audio sound sometimes disappears and doesn't come on when it wants to just works if and when currently trying to find a solution before returning it to the seller.

Great handset, really rugged and full of features. Perfect for me as I work outdoors a lot and go hiking regularly. All the outdoor pursuit apps work really well too, and the camera is amazing.

Had this phone for less then a year and it died. Had a look online and it has a known software fault might as well by a old Nokia if your looking for a rugged phone that ant gonna die on you.
