Overview of the most affordable smartphone protected - Blackview BV6000s

Not so long ago the company expanded its range Blackview protected device BV6000, which combines good screen, Android 6.0, and protection of IP68 standard.

The device sells well, and the company decided to consolidate its position by releasing a simplified version of smartphone called BV6000s, available at a discounted price. In it the engineers to remove unnecessary in the device of this class functions. Now let's see what can the new product.

Specifications

Off-road construction: the frame separately, the housing separately

Protected smartphones - a separate category of devices. Beautiful not call them, and Blackview BV6000s no exception. Large, heavy, awkward to grip, and even brown-black (on sale is still a couple of color choices).

But in field conditions huge rubberized case, the foundation of which was tselnofrezerovannaya metal frame, it is a guarantee of protection. Rubber is not solid. Side ends of the device were a continuation of the frame, on which all the main buttons (also metal) are placed.

Moisture is achieved by rubber plugs covering the headphone port and microUSB. Plugs are attached to the body of conventional screws, complete a replacement (a screwdriver to parse also included).

Two screwdrivers - Phillips and flat-ground joint. Cross necessary for the plugs are removed and the flat - panel for the rear disassembly. Her hidden compartment for two microSIM and microSD card format. Blackview engineers did not save the place: here separate slots. From the plastic housing cover their separate rubber mat that acts as a gasket.

To the right are two separate volume keys and power button. Left - calling camera, SOS button and PPT, the function of which remains unknown to me.

The bundled except plugs, additional screws and screwdrivers, a headset, OTG-cable, charger and microUSB cable. Note: conventional cables will not work. Because of the protective linings port is deeper than in the usual smartphone. Therefore native wire equipped elongated connector.

Screen

Diagonal device immediately conspicuous: 4.7 inch. These smart phones no longer appeared on the market (at least among the mass of devices), replaced by five-inch devices. This suggests that Blackview could use old stocks.

C on the other hand, what's the difference? Used IPS-matrix, which provides a good viewing angle and thus no color inversion. screen resolution enough not to visible pixels. Can complain about except that the low brightness of the display: under the bright sun it may not be enough.

Tempered glass screen is protected Gorilla Glass 3. In spite of that, the manufacturer at the factory glues to the screen two films: a constant and the transport. Included is one more, a spare. That's right: a fall down safety glass screen is not a panacea. On a flat surface BV6000s housing protects the display, but if you will fall stone, trouble can not be avoided.

In the settings of the operating system can enable Work on gloves - «Work gloves." It really works, but only for a woven texture.

Performance

Above the head can not jump: BV6000s refers to the budget price range. Processor weak enough video card - from the corresponding segment. Synthetic tests show very modest at current standards results. So, AnTuTu smartphone gives about 34,000 points.

In BV6000s uses ordinary memory, however, as in a more advanced embodiment of the device without the letters s title. The smartphone 2 GB of RAM, and that's enough for most tasks without lags and brakes. Except that some of 3D-shooter only operate at medium or low graphics settings. Well, you were planning to hike in the "tank" to play?

camera

The sensor, which is mounted in the main chamber, the manufacturer does not mention. But, judging by the quality of images is one of the proven 8-megapixel Sony modules, which at the time were able to win the hearts of customers.

Expect that the camera can replace the camera, it is not necessary. But quick to make a reminder, take a picture of the ad or capture something important - of course, possible. Flash images out even better than artificial light.

The front camera is working on a "make it": selfie can be done, but more should not count.

Sound

The sound in the headphones through the headset complete satisfactory. Complete the headset itself is pretty good on its own.

The sound from the speakers is very loud: it does not choke the plant roar, cutting of metal structures, drilling concrete. Vibration is also at the level of the smartphone on the table is held only by the rubber housing. An incoming call will not pass unnoticed.

link

Smartphone supports all Russian frequency in GSM, WCDMA and LTE (except Band 20). In the outback may be problems, but the machine behaved perfectly during testing. Communication stable, good audibility. Internet speed slightly lower than in smartphones peers - is a payment for a reinforced hull.

In addition, Wi-Fi module does not support in the 5.8 GHz band. Bluetooth is not circumcised, profiles and aptX LE operational. On the back cover is really an antenna NFC, the interface works. At the very least, the data from the "Troika" read successfully.

autonomy

MT6735A processor has low power consumption and heat dissipation. Therefore, the smart phone is not heated and rather slowly consumes the battery. Together with the capacious battery it gives good results when running on battery. With an average load smartphone is not more than two days with enabled 4G / Wi-Fi - apparently, affects strengthening of the body, reduces the quality of reception networks. This increases the need for power connection.

When viewing video streaming through the Wi-Fi unit operates at the minimum luminance for 7 hours at the maximum - 4 hr. Three-dimensional game show similar rates.

Probably more recent firmware will show improvement in these results.

protection capacity test

As mentioned above, if the smartphone will land face down, the screen will be split any stone hitting, no defense will not save him. The fall even from the third floor on the back cover of the device will survive, if you do not spring back and not turn over.

With Moisture interesting. Some sources say that it is not at all. Tests in the mud and shallow Blackview BV6000s succeeds. But dirt is hammered under the lattice dynamics, and require flushing or even complete disassembly of the device (which is provided, but the process is quite long).

results

Blackview BV6000s is the cheapest protected smartphone on the market (cost - about $ 150). Despite this, he is able to perform any task: to operate the navigator, replace the "bar of soap", play the role of the entertainment center. Even you can call.

The smartphone can drop and sink - with it you can move the river to wade or dive at a shallow depth. Chinese publicists even fire on it kindled. Therefore, if you need a protected phone, you should pay attention on BV6000s.
