App Draw




The thickness of the BV5800 isn't small at about 15MM thick, but don't forget it comes with the IP68- Waterproof protection and a huge 5580mAh battery with fast charging.,The average user should easy get 2 or 3 days out of the phone (Depending on usage)plus its only about 3 hours to fully charge from flat. It uses the 64bit Mediatek MT6739 processor, 2GB of RAM & 16GB of ROM.

Main camera
Dual Camera system with fast focusing
Resolution 13.0MP + 0.3MP rear camera
Sensor model Sony IMX134
Flash Dual LED flash
Selfie (Secondary) camera
Resolution 8 Mp
Flash No

Some Camera Photos
For a 13MP camera it really does give you some great shots















WIFI
Dual band Wi-Fi 2.4G & 5G
Good to see the 5G Wi-Fi another nice touch

Blackview BV5800 waterproof test
The BV5800 has lived up to its name by being fully waterproof(I have even been swimming in the sea while the phone was in my pocket)Not even a small amount of water has found its way in to the handset.
The phones speaker does sound like you have killed it once your out of the water but a wash out under the tap shake it and let it dry and all is good again (Panic over)



Games and UI
The BV5800 has played both beach buggy blitz and asphalt 8 with ease (A little slow on the loading time but other than that both worked fine)
The UI of the phone is the standard Android 8 with no crap installed, runs very well smooth and not too slow.
