The Blackview Mega 1 has a footprint of 268.7 x 169 mm with a thickness of 7.6 mm, and it tips the scales at 528 g. The tablet does not include a stylus, a detachable keyboard, or a backlit keyboard, and it offers no tilt sensitivity support. It also carries no water resistance rating, so caution around liquids is advised.
The Blackview Mega 1 features an 11.5-inch IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 203 ppi. It supports a 120Hz touch sampling rate for responsive input. The display does not incorporate branded damage-resistant glass or sapphire glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, nor does it use e-paper technology.
The Blackview Mega 1 is driven by a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset built on a 6nm process, featuring an 8-thread CPU configured as 2 cores at 2.2 GHz and 6 cores at 2.0 GHz using big.LITTLE and HMP technology, with a TDP of 5W and a maximum operating temperature of 95°C. It is paired with 12GB of LPDDR4 RAM running at 4266 MHz across 2 channels, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 17.1 GB/s, alongside 256GB of eMMC 5.2 internal storage that can be expanded by up to 1TB via an external memory slot. Graphics are handled by the 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 2 displays. The tablet runs Android 13 on a 64-bit architecture, includes integrated LTE on the SoC, ARM TrustZone security, and recorded Geekbench 6 scores of 729 single-core and 1979 multi-core.
The Blackview Mega 1 is equipped with a 50MP rear CMOS camera capable of recording video at 1440p at 30fps, supported by a single LED flash and a video light. It offers a solid set of manual controls including ISO, focus, exposure, and white balance, while touch autofocus and continuous autofocus during video recording are also present; however, manual shutter speed, optical zoom, optical image stabilization, and a back-illuminated sensor are not included. HDR mode is built in, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not supported, and slow-motion video capture is available. The front camera comes in at 13MP but lacks a front-facing flash, and neither panorama, 360-degree panorama, burst mode, nor 3D capture are part of the camera feature set.
The Blackview Mega 1 includes stereo speakers and a built-in FM radio, covering the basics for on-device audio playback. It does not feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, so wired headphones requiring that connection are not supported. On the wireless audio side, none of the Qualcomm aptX variants — including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless — are available, and LDAC is also absent.
The Blackview Mega 1 houses a 8800 mAh rechargeable battery that supports fast charging, and a battery level indicator is on hand to keep track of remaining charge. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.
The Blackview Mega 1 supports Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 along with Bluetooth 5.1, and accommodates two SIM cards with LTE cellular connectivity, though 5G is not available. Download and upload speeds reach up to 650 Mbits/s and 150 Mbits/s respectively, and the tablet connects via USB Type-C; HDMI output, NFC, Ethernet, and an infrared sensor are absent. For location, it includes GPS with Galileo support and device tracking, but lacks a compass and barometer. Sensors on board include a gyroscope and accelerometer, while biometric security is handled by a fingerprint scanner — 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present. On the software side, the tablet offers a broad set of features including dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, a media picker, widgets, full-page screenshots, customizable notifications, notification permissions controls, voice commands, offline voice recognition, on-device machine learning, child lock, and multi-user support. Privacy options cover location privacy, camera and microphone access controls, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking, Mail Privacy Protection, and Wi-Fi password sharing are not included. The device does not support Quick Start, focus modes, app offloading, or battery health checks, and does not receive direct OS vendor updates.
The Blackview Mega 1 uses DDR4 memory.
