BlackviewBV5300Pro Rugged Phone, 7GB+64GB/1TB Rugged Smartphone with 6580mAh Android 13, 2.3GHz Octa-core, 13MP+8MP Camera, 3 Cards Slot, 6.1" Display P68&IP69K Waterproo Phones, NFC/OTG/FaceID

Bought this phone for my son these are his words. It's a rugged look but great to hold and easy to use. The battery life is great lasts two days if you don't use the mobile as much. Face Recognition is okay but there's no Thumb Print option on this phone. This mobile was great first few weeks then started to play up got in touch with the company itself so helpful and quick to respond offering to replace the phone to which is awesome 👍🏻

I broke my Samsung s21 ultras screen and didn't have £300 to fix it. So I brought this phone to keep me going until I can upgrade. But I might just keep this tbh. It's almost as fast as my Samsung, it's a little clunky and a little slower when you are toggling multiple screens etc.its a little smaller screen size. And the camera is rubbish compared a Samsung. But it's 15mp, what do you expect!Charge lasts me 2 days and I use my phone A LOT. Feals really sturdy .It's a great cheaper alternative to a expensive smart phone

Initially, I was impressed by the robust nature of this device. Once I added a protective cover it was almost indestructible.However, the features on the BV5300 were noticeably different from my earlier devices by Huawei, Oppo, Samsung, and Alcatel. There was no user manual for BV5300 but there is a supplier online who has it.It takes 2 sims and a memory card.The battery is slow to charge.It is taking time to navigate the new display that the device has but I will stick with it.However, I do recommend the BV5300 for a user who needs a tough outdoor device but it is not for a beginner to Androids - only for those who are Android savvy.

This brand new phone had some kind of nervous breakdown when transferring data from my old phone. Screen went black, and phone became completely dead even though the phone was fully charged. Only had the phone for an hour or two, and was just going through normal commissioning process. I hadn't got to the stage to actually use it. Phone could not be restarted by any means that I tried including all the normal tricks referred to on youtube help sites and the Blackview help site that I had to trawl for. I have had to return the product.Could possibly be a one-off fault, but suspect this is something systematic triggered by an AI response to data transfer. I wouldn't expect a hardware fault with a new phone, but if it is a physical fault then it suggests a lack of quality control with the manufacture. Annoying that the functionality of the product looked very good, but I didn't get a chance to use it.I have a Blackview A60 phone that has always worked well, so I was surprised this phone upgrade didn't meet my expectations. Could be a one-off.

The media could not be loaded. Arrived promptly, so easy to set up everything transferred from old Android phone within a few minutes. It's easy to use, it's fast, runs games and multiple apps with no problem. The quality of the camera and video is also really great. No problems hooking up to WiFi and the location stuff works great with Google maps. As fast as most other android phones, good signal strength. Money well spent I would recommend this phone to anyone amazing battery life

Just upgraded to the pro. Best phone I have owned. It's tough and has all the features of other smart phones at a fraction of the price.Battery life lasts me 2/3 days depending on usage. dropped it a couple of times with no damage to the screen or case. And has all the same features as other smart phones.

Being the happy owner of a Blackview tablet, when the time came for a new phone, I went for the BV5300 Pro, on the basis of its spec and the good price. On the face of it, it's not a bad phone, solidly built and a good size at 6.1", without being too unwieldy. I especially liked: a) the good-sized RAM (up to 7GB) and the larger in-built memory (64GB), allowing you to store plenty of apps on the phone. Another very appealing feature was the tray that allows you to have two SIM cards plus a micro SD card of up to 1TB, a feature which I have not yet come across on any other phone - all in all the omens looked good... Unfortunately, on opening the phone back up the morning after setting it all up (having been left on overnight), I found that the home page had reverted to one of the stock wallpapers, despite me setting it up the previous day with one of my own photos, which made me start to wonder about the stability of the operating system... In use, all seemed to work fine with good battery life, although, irritatingly, it was next to impossible to actually tell what the battery level was from the home screen, due to the TINY text size of the battery indicator - for a function that's going to be referred to quite regularly, that is quite a let-down. On the subject of the battery, when you do come to charge the phone, you'll need each time to remove a very tight plug at the bottom of the case to expose the socket, but this can't really be classed as a fault, it's just the price that you pay for owning a water resistant ruggedised smartphone that can't be charged by induction (and is, of course, preferable to it leaking, if immersed). The phone's worst failing though is the blank black screen you get when there's an incoming call, and no amount of swiping here, there or anywhere will allow you to pick up the call - very, very frustrating. I referred this to the seller's customer service department who, in fairness, responded quickly, but unfortunately their proposed solution (to restore the phone to its factory settings) did not work, and really, we're well into the 21st century now, and smartphones have been around for a while, so is it too much to ask that the basic functions of such a phone work straight out of the box? Anyway, long story short, the phone's going back and I'll probably end up spending a bit more on a phone that does what it should, without the need for 'user-tinkering'.

I bought this phone as my son had damaged all his previous phones they either shattered or even bent! This phone so far has been indestructible and works great, it’s fast, waterproof and just does the job without spending ridiculous amounts of money.
