We have already talked a lot about rugged smartphones, dual-screen smartphones, high performance smartphones, big battery smartphones, etc. But what if it all came together in one mobile device? Blackview has also thought of this and released the Blackview BL9000.
It looks like a flagship smartphone of the company, because it has Dimensity 8020 chipset with 5G support, 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, 6.78-inch Full HD+ display on the front and 1.32-inch screen on the back, 50MP triple camera and 8800mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.
To be honest, I am most impressed with the 120W fast charging.
Let’s talk more about the new Blackview smartphone and start with the price.

$299.00
Price
The Blackview BL9000 will go on sale on Aliexpress in two days from January 17th. The first 500 buyers can buy it for $299, and after that the price will be $359.
Moreover, the first 100 buyers will get the wireless earbuds from Blackview for free.
By the way, the Chinese company will also release its new rugged smartwatch along with the smartphone. It will cost only $25.
OK, let’s go back to the Blackview BL9000.
Design
You know, it is a rugged smartphone, but it doesn’t look like that, because of the leather texture on the rear panel. It makes the smartphone look premium.
By the way, the Blackview BL9000 will be available in black and gold colors. The smartphone looks especially expensive in gold.
However, as befits a rugged smartphone, it has rubberized corners for protection after drops and bumps.
The new Blackview phone has IP68, IP69K and military protection standards. Moreover, the display has the latest generation of protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 7 Victus.
Display
If we started talking about the display, its diagonal is 6.78 inches. It also has Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
I think it will be a good screen not only for watching videos, and scrolling social media, but also gaming.
The second display on the rear panel has a diagonal 1.32 inches, and resolution of 360 x 360 pixels. By the way, it also has a protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 7 Victus.
If you don’t know why you need a second screen on the smartphone, it can be used for reading messages, taking calls, controlling music, etc.
Performance
Now let’s talk about performance, because it is almost flagship here.
The Blackview BL9000 is equipped with Dimensity 8020 chipset with 5G Support, 12GB of built-in RAM and 512GB of built-in storage. However, the RAM is expandable up to 24GB using software, and storage up to 1TB using microSD memory card.
The new smartphone has about 835 thousand scores in AnTuTu Benchmark. This is a very good result.
I am sure the new Blackview smartphone will be good for gaming because it has good performance and a quality display.
Camera
As for the camera of the Blackview BL9000, there are two sensors on the rear panel, such as 50MP main sensor and 13MP ultra-wide and ultra-macro sensor.
The front camera has a 50MP sensor, and I think Blackview BL9000 has the best selfie camera among rugged smartphones.
Battery
You know, the battery of the new Blackview smartphone has a capacity of 8800mAh, and that’s really good, but I am most interested in 120W fast charging.
This is probably the fastest charging on Blackview smartphones, and maybe even on all rugged phones.
A full battery charge of the Blackview BL9000 takes only 53 minutes. That’s incredible for an 8800mAh battery.
Connectivity
I have already told you that the new Blackview smartphone supports 5G networks, but it also has Wi-Fi 6, and NFC support.
Conclusion
So, the Blackview BL9000 does look like a flagship smartphone, but its price is quite affordable.
Some of the features really surprised me like 120W fast charging, 50MP selfie camera, Dimensity 8020 chipset, and a second display.
The smartphone will start selling in 2 days.
