Blackview Oscal Pilot 2

The Blackview Oscal Pilot 2 is built with durability in mind, featuring a rugged construction and an IP68 ingress protection rating, confirming full waterproof capability. It measures 179.5 mm in height, 82.6 mm in width, and 17 mm in thickness, with a total volume of 252.05 cm³ and a weight of 368 g. The device does not support a folding form factor, maintaining a traditional fixed-body design.

The Oscal Pilot 2 features a 6.5″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1604 px and a pixel density of 405 ppi, paired with a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, offering resistance against scratches and accidental impacts. Additionally, the device includes a secondary screen with a resolution of 360 x 360 px, while the main display does not support HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, or an Always-On Display mode.

The Oscal Pilot 2 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, built on a 6 nm process with an octa-core CPU running at 2 x 2.2 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz using big.LITTLE and HMP architecture across 8 threads, with a TDP of 5W and a maximum operating temperature of 95°C. It comes with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM running at 4266 MHz across 2 memory channels, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 17.1 GB/s, and supports up to 12 GB total memory alongside 256 GB of internal eMMC 5.1 storage, expandable by up to 2000 GB via external memory. Graphics are handled by the Mali G57 GPU clocked at 950 MHz with a turbo frequency of 2133 MHz, 32 shading units, integrated graphics support, DirectX 11, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2.0, with support for up to 2 simultaneous displays. The chipset includes integrated LTE, TrustZone security, and 64-bit support, while benchmark results stand at 420,000 on AnTuTu, 1,979 on Geekbench 6 multi-core, and 729 on Geekbench 6 single-core.

The Oscal Pilot 2 carries a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 50 MP sensor at f/2.4 and a 13 MP sensor at f/1.8, both using CMOS technology, with optical image stabilization, phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during video, and manual controls for exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed, laser autofocus, and a BSI sensor are not included. The rear camera supports video recording at 1440p at 30 fps, slow-motion video, HDR mode, burst shooting, panorama, and timelapse, but does not support HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, 360-degree panorama, RAW capture, or 3D recording. Flash is provided via 4 LEDs, though dual-tone and RGB flash configurations are absent. On the front, a single-lens 32 MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture handles selfies, without a front-facing flash or an under-display placement.

The Oscal Pilot 2 runs Android 14, an open-source platform that supports multi-user operation, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and device position tracking. Privacy features include clipboard warnings, location privacy controls, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not available. The interface supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, customizable notifications, notification permission controls, a media picker, Live Text, and an extra dim mode, while focus modes, app offloading, and Wi-Fi password sharing are absent. Usability is further extended through split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, sharing intents, full-page screenshots, a child lock, battery health check, and the ability to play games while they download, though the device does not support Quick Start or function as a PC. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided.

The Oscal Pilot 2 is equipped with a large 8800 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 45W fast wired charging, with a battery level indicator included for monitoring charge status. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Oscal Pilot 2 has a notably limited audio profile — it does not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, or a built-in radio. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec standards are supported, with aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC all absent.

The Oscal Pilot 2 supports dual SIM cards with a cellular module, Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.1, and NFC, though 5G is not available and maximum download and upload speeds reach 650 Mbits/s and 150 Mbits/s respectively. The device connects via USB Type-C with USB 2.0 and includes an external memory slot, while HDMI output and DLNA certification are absent. Security is handled through a fingerprint scanner, with 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner not supported. Onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, barometer, and GPS with Galileo support, while an infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, motion tracking, and optical tracking are not present. Satellite emergency SOS, crash detection, ANT+, a built-in projector, and a stylus are also not included.

The Oscal Pilot 2 includes a video light, adding utility for recording in low-light conditions. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
