Blackview BV9300 Pro

The device features a rugged build with an IP68 rating, confirming full waterproof protection suited to harsh or outdoor conditions. Its physical dimensions measure 184.6 mm tall, 85.6 mm wide, and 22.8 mm thick, resulting in a total volume of 360.28 cm³. At 525 g, it sits on the heavier end of the smartphone weight range, which is consistent with its reinforced construction. The design is fixed-form and cannot be folded.

The display is a 6.7″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2388 px and a pixel density of 391 ppi, delivering a reasonably sharp image across its surface. A 120Hz refresh rate keeps on-screen motion fluid, and the panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 for added resistance to scratches and impacts. HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision are not supported, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen on this device.

The device is powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, built on a 6 nm process with an 8-thread CPU configuration running two performance cores at 2.2 GHz and six efficiency cores at 2 GHz, using big.LITTLE and HMP scheduling to balance workload distribution. The SoC operates within a 5W TDP and supports a maximum temperature of 95 °C, with integrated LTE and TrustZone security baked in. Graphics are handled by a Mali G57 GPU clocked at 950 MHz with a turbo of 2133 MHz, 32 shading units, DirectX 11, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2 support, capable of driving up to two displays. The 12GB of DDR4 RAM runs at 4266 MHz across two memory channels with a maximum bandwidth of 17.1 GB/s, and 256GB of eMMC 5.2 internal storage is included. In benchmarks, the device scored 1,979 in Geekbench 6 multi-core, 729 in single-core, 1,230 in 3DMark Wild Life, and 9,791 in PCMark Work 3.0 performance, with the PCMark battery test returning a result of 1,857 minutes.

The rear camera system uses a dual-lens setup led by a 64 MP primary sensor alongside an 8 MP secondary, both using CMOS technology without a back-illuminated sensor. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus for stills, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, while laser autofocus is not present. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed is not available. The camera supports HDR mode, burst shooting, slow-motion video, and in-camera panoramas, but does not shoot in RAW format, offer optical zoom, or support 360° panorama capture. Video recording tops out at 1440p at 30 fps, without HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording support. A single LED flash is fitted at the rear with no dual-tone or RGB configuration, and the front camera offers 32 MP resolution without a dedicated flash, a secondary lens, or an under-display placement.

The device runs Android 13 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. On the usability side, it supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, customizable notifications, a media picker, full-page screenshots, and the ability to play games while they are downloading. Offline voice recognition and voice commands are both present, alongside on-device machine learning, Live Text, sharing intents, phone tracking, a child lock, and multi-user support. Features absent include focus modes, Wi-Fi password sharing, a battery health check, app offloading, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided.

The device is fitted with a 15080 mAh rechargeable battery, a notably large capacity that points to extended usage between charges as a clear design priority. It supports 33W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present for monitoring charge status. Wireless charging is not supported, and the battery is not user-removable.

The audio configuration is fairly limited — there is no 3.5 mm headset jack, no stereo speaker setup, and none of the advanced Bluetooth audio codecs are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC. The one notable inclusion is a built-in radio, which allows broadcast reception without relying on streaming.

The device supports dual SIM cards and includes a cellular module, though 5G is not available. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5, while Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC round out the short-range options. A USB Type-C port is present, and an external memory slot allows for additional storage expansion, though there is no HDMI output. Cellular data speeds reach up to 650 Mbits/s download and 150 Mbits/s upload. Location is handled by GPS with Galileo support, complemented by a compass and accelerometer, while a gyroscope, barometer, infrared sensor, and ANT+ are all absent. Biometric security is covered by a fingerprint scanner, with 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner not featured. There is no heart rate monitor, crash detection, satellite SOS, DLNA certification, motion or optical tracking, built-in projector, or stylus included.

The device includes a video light, which can be used to illuminate subjects during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
