Blackview Oscal Marine 2

The design of this device centers on water protection, carrying a full IP68 waterproof rating that classifies it as waterproof. It is not a rugged-build device and does not support a folding form factor, keeping it as a conventional fixed-frame handset. Physically, it measures 179.8 mm in height, 83.1 mm in width, and 18.3 mm in thickness, with a total volume of approximately 273.43 cm³. At 395 g, it sits on the heavier side, which reflects in part the engineering required to accommodate its sealed, waterproof construction.

The display is a 6.56″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1612 px and a pixel density of 269 ppi, paired with a 90 Hz refresh rate for moderately smooth motion rendering. It is protected by branded damage-resistant glass, adding a layer of resilience against everyday scratches and impacts. The screen does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen. No second display is present, keeping the device to a single-screen configuration.

The device is powered by the Unisoc T615 chipset, built on a 12 nm process with an octa-core CPU configuration running at 2 x 1.8 GHz and 6 x 1.6 GHz across 8 threads, supported by big.LITTLE technology and a 10W TDP. It comes with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM at 1866 MHz, with the architecture supporting a maximum of 12 GB, and 256 GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage. The Mali G57 GPU runs at 850 MHz, features 2 execution units and 64 shading units, and supports OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The SoC includes integrated LTE, integrated graphics, TrustZone security, 64-bit support, and multithreading, while a 1 MB L3 cache rounds out the processor configuration. Benchmark results place the chipset at an AnTuTu score of 355,767, with Geekbench 6 returning 437 single-core and 1,461 multi-core, and Geekbench 5 recording 357 single-core and 1,350 multi-core.

The main camera is a single-lens 16 MP CMOS sensor capable of recording video at 1080p and 30 fps, with support for slow-motion recording, continuous autofocus during video, and phase-detection autofocus for stills. It does not include optical image stabilization, a BSI sensor, laser autofocus, or optical zoom. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while burst mode, touch autofocus, HDR mode, and in-camera panorama are also supported; raw shooting and manual shutter speed are not available. A single LED flash is present, with no dual-tone or RGB flash option. On the front, an 8 MP camera is fitted in a standard position — not under the display — as a single lens without its own flash. Neither HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, 360° panorama, nor 3D capture are supported on either camera.

The device runs Android 15 as a free and open-source operating system, supporting multi-user profiles, phone tracking, offline voice recognition, and voice commands out of the box. Privacy tooling includes clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and app tracking blocking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are absent. On the customization side, users have access to theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, extra dim mode, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and Wi-Fi password sharing are not available. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, app offloading, Live Text, and the ability to play games while they download. The OS also includes a battery health check, child lock, and on-device machine learning, but does not support direct OS vendor updates, Quick Start, or use as a PC.

The device is equipped with a 11000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports fast charging at 18W, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present for monitoring charge status. Wireless charging is not supported, keeping power replenishment limited to wired connections only.

The audio configuration of this device is notably limited — it lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, and a built-in radio. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec standards are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC, meaning high-fidelity wireless audio transmission via these protocols is not available.

Wireless connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC, with a cellular module supporting download speeds of 300 Mbit/s and upload speeds of 150 Mbit/s, though 5G is not supported. The device accommodates two SIM cards, includes a USB Type-C port, and has an external memory slot for expandable storage. Navigation is covered by GPS with Galileo support, and onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. Security options include a fingerprint scanner, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are absent. Features such as satellite emergency SOS, crash detection, a heart rate monitor, barometer, infrared sensor, HDMI output, ANT+, DLNA certification, a built-in projector, and a stylus are all not present on this device.

Among the miscellaneous specifications, the device includes a video light, which can be used to illuminate subjects during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, does not use sapphire glass, and is not an e-paper panel.
