I don't have much to say about this phone BV5300 Pro as I am one of Blackview family. The phone can download more than three app at a go without any problems. Battery usage was not well enough for me, like A80S but it can last for 24hrs. Which is good 👍👍 It was a little heavier than my previous A80s and I guess it's the cover. It did not come with gift card as they did sent with all the previous ones that I have bought but I will check with the seller. Maybe it's a mistake Note: there's no technic issue with the phone. I just want another one that have NFC as the previous one does not have. Then the phone did a fast job by screen broken. So I had to get a new one ASAP. I love the cover but a bit dislike the way it came with the phone information at the back. This is my fourth time buying from this brand and they always come with gift card to choose what accessories you want apart from the cover case and screen protector Then card to extended the warranty for another two years but this one does not come with it expect the warranty card. All the same it's good one It's just a earphone issue for me as I am use to earbud and other earphones but this phone only gives one option which I will get used to it as time goes on. Still not sure. Try it yourself and see

Great value mobile phone if you’re looking to own your own hand set. Good battery life and plenty of storage. Chose this phone as it has a very hard wearing outer case which was ideal for use at work. Had to speak to Blackview customer services re a charging issue but had a prompt reply from Zoey who was very professional and dealt with the problem quickly and with a very satisfactory outcome.

Total waste of time and money - do not touch with a bargepole Yes its rugged, yes the battery life is good but I also wanted a dual SIM phone with a 3rd slot for SD card for all the photos I would be taking and sending to clients. Also it is very heavy. But the camera is far far more basic and disappointing than on my 4 year old Honor 9X which this was supposed to replace - and I have reverted to using an actual camera - so don't even use the SIM now. I may have persevered but the incessant need to close Apps - System UI, Outlook, Waze, Facebook, Chrome, What's App etc many many times per hour and often needing to restart makes it UNUSABLE - dm-verity corruption???? I have emailed support - they do reply but are not helpful. I guess it's true what they say - pay cheap, pay twice because even if they don't accept a return & refund (requested today), I will have to buy something else which as a self employed person in a low income vocational role is really not what I need .

Good rugged phone can be a hit slow at times

A big fan of the blackview phones and this one doesn't disappoint. Only had it a few days, but the camera is an improvement over my previous device. Feels sturdy, a lot heavier than I expected but at least I won't worry it's not in my pocket.

I purchased this Blackview "Rugged" to replace my ageing Samsung as it was getting tired and was no longer supported ( I know how it feels ). The first few weeks were clearly the honeymoon period where everything worked well and appeared to have been a good choice. Now that the honeymoon is over and it can no longer be returned it's a very different story. More crashes than Saturday night stock cars at Belle Vue and not just because you've asked it to do something. Looking at my Blink camera the other day, I put the phone down on the dining table and the screen went black as it just decided to randomly reboot. Apps regularly crash as does system UI and around a week ago it decided I was no longer allowed to access it. Swipe up, enter pass code and get presented with............ the lock screen. Swipe up, enter pass code and get presented with......... yup, the lock screen. After around a dozen attempts at unlocking it I had to force a reboot, ( which is like waiting for the second coming ) before I was able to get it unlocked. The phone had a lot of potential, sadly there are many software / UI issues that will make it unusable sooner rather than later so I'm now looking for another new phone :(

It seems to be a good phone. Chunky and rugged. No problems so far.

We use these phones for work purposes for our engineers to log reports through the job management system, so we need a phone that's easy to use and lightweight. They're reliable and robust with a clear display for users to use throughout the day without the need for constant recharge.
