Blackview Shark 6 5G

The Blackview Shark 6 5G has a fixed, non-folding form factor with dimensions of 171 x 77.7 x 8.4 mm and a total volume of approximately 111.61 cm³. It weighs 210g, which reflects its large-screen build. The phone does not carry a rugged certification and offers no water resistance, so it lacks any rated protection against moisture or physical extremes.

The Blackview Shark 6 5G features a 6.88-inch IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1640 pixels and a pixel density of 260 ppi. It runs at a 120Hz refresh rate and reaches a typical brightness of 450 nits. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Always-On Display functionality. There is no secondary screen on this device.

The Blackview Shark 6 5G is powered by the Unisoc Tanggula T760 chipset, built on a 7nm process with an octa-core CPU configuration running at 4 x 2.2 GHz and 4 x 1.8 GHz using big.LITTLE technology across 8 threads. It comes with 8GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 2133 MHz across two memory channels, supporting up to 32GB maximum, alongside 128GB of internal storage. The integrated Mali-G57 GPU operates with a turbo frequency of 650 MHz and supports DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The SoC also includes integrated LTE, TrustZone security, and full 64-bit support, while ECC memory is not supported. Geekbench 5 results for this chip are recorded at 541 (single-core) and 2155 (multi-core).

The Blackview Shark 6 5G carries a dual-lens rear camera system with a 16MP main sensor and a 0.3MP secondary lens, both using a CMOS sensor without back-illumination. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus for photos, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while burst mode, HDR, and in-camera panorama are also supported. A single LED flash is present, with no dual-tone or RGB flash available, and there is no optical zoom. The front camera offers 8MP resolution as a single-lens setup without a front-facing flash. Slow-motion recording, timelapse, RAW capture, manual shutter speed, HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, and 3D photo or video capabilities are not included.

The Blackview Shark 6 5G runs Android 15 as a free and open-source operating system, bringing a broad set of privacy and usability features. On the privacy side, it includes clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. The interface supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and an extra dim mode for display comfort. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, customizable notifications, sharing intents, Live Text, and the ability to play games while they download. The OS also supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, device tracking, multi-user accounts, app offloading, battery health check, and a child lock. Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, Quick Start, and the ability to use the device as a PC are not supported, and OS updates do not come directly from the vendor.

The Blackview Shark 6 5G is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 18W fast charging. A battery level indicator is included to keep track of remaining charge. Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are not supported.

The Blackview Shark 6 5G includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, along with a built-in FM radio. On the wireless audio side, the device does not support aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC, meaning high-resolution Bluetooth audio codecs are absent.

The Blackview Shark 6 5G supports 5G connectivity alongside Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and accommodates two SIM cards. Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC are both present, and the device includes a USB Type-C port running on USB 2.0. An external memory slot is available for storage expansion. For location, it features GPS and Galileo satellite support, while the accelerometer handles basic motion sensing. Biometric security is handled by a fingerprint scanner, though 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not included. The device lacks HDMI output, an infrared sensor, a barometer, a heart rate monitor, ANT+ support, DLNA certification, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, motion and optical tracking, and a built-in projector, and no stylus is included.

The Blackview Shark 6 5G includes a video light to assist with recording in low-light conditions. The display is flat rather than curved, and the device uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
