Blackview Phone BV4800, Android 13 4GB+32GB 2TB Expand Rugged Smartphone, 6.56" Incell Screen 5180mAh Rugged Phone, 4G T-Mobile Dual SIM Rugged Smartphone Unlocked, IP69K, 3 Card Slots/Face ID-Black

Recommended for the price. Fairly easy setup. Looks the part. Decent sound. Compatible with T-Mobile / Mint / etc. using nano SIM card. It makes calls, takes photos, and is really rugged - as in, it survives drops, no case needed! One con so far: it’s very heavy; oh, also, the weather uses a Chinese satellite company and will be stuck giving readings in Celsius.Bottom line: good “granny phone” for someone who needs a huge screen and doesn’t carry it around all day.

Update - been 4 months now. Still enjoying the device. The picture saving lag fixed itself. Camera was adequate on vacation - embrace some lofi style editing and it's good. I do notice the wifi seems to lag sometimes (often). Biggest issue is keyboard size and accuracy. I use a lot of swipe and predictive keyboard. Phone still great for daily useI was tired of carrying around gigantic phones - but still needed Android for apps, android auto, and a decent camera. After looking around a bunch decided on picking this up. Also considered the Jelly but this seemed to have a better phone and more features. Feels great in your hand - but pretty thick compared to conventional devices. Height is perfect. Has everything you need - NFC payments, Face ID, fingerprint, a decent rear speaker, and pretty solid rear and front cameras. Works with Google Fi.My biggest issue is a really long lag after you take a picture while it seems to be saving it. Feels like 8-10s seconds. You can't take another photo and it seems to not save the photo if you switch out of the camera app too fast. It's a few less seconds if you decrease the default file size to 5 MP. The 48 MP shots take a really long time to save. Seems to do better with some 3rd party camera apps but still an issue. Kinda weird and makes you realize you comprimised a bit for a smaller form factor.Overall still glad I picked this up and I am done with giant 6+ inch screens

Recommended ! Very good quality for this price and easy to use. Who wants to order , don’t think too much, order it and enjoy it :) Huge display, memory capacity and battery life is really nice , thanks !

lasted 40 days....10 days outside of return window Don't waste your money! Still looks brand new screen is black. Tried rebooting phone and nothing! It rings but can't answer

This is a good solid phone with clear sound, easy read screen and nice user interface. If that is what you need, get this phone!However, I need Android Auto for a 2016 Chevy and it just doesn't link. Kudos to Blackview Support for trying, hard.5 star:Phone calls & textingScreen clarityCamera0 star (won't do at all)Connection to 2016 Chevy MyLinkSplit screenScreen cast / mirroring (to Fire TV Lite stick)Oddly all the things it won't do, my 2 year old BV 4900 with Android 12 will.I do like the new stuff under Android 13 but I'm not impressed with what it gave up from 12.

Blackview BV-4800, a beautiful and bright (450 nit) screen, good controls, great touch screen, good music sound, very rugged, decent speed computer. Works great for navigation. Battery lasts a long time.Overall, 8 cell towers out of 10 towers.

Save your money. But a ruggedized phone. Basically a tough Samsung 9. Recommended. Especially for the money

This is a solid little phone. Strong and sturdy as rugged phones usually are. The screen will be very difficult to crack. Good camera, clear calls, touchscreen is tiny, but it's a compact phone. Great features.2 annoying things about it, one I can live with, one I cannot believe:I can live with the fact that this phone does not have a 3.5mm, but I am old schoolI cannot believe they designed the speakers on the back to sit flat on a flat surface. What this means is that if you place the phone on a table face up, it mutes your speakers. You can't hear the phone ring or anything. What idiot thought of that? The workaround is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0897XP2HF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsIt will raise the phone enough to not hinder the speaker performance, but should we have to do that?
