This is my 2nd Blackview phone, my first being the BV9800 pro. Had a small problem with this one and after talking with customer service promptly had another brand new replacement sent to me. Funny enough I'm actually typing my review on my old blackview phone which is now currently over 5 years old and still performs just fine! The only thing that caused me to replace it was the software was to outdated and caused me to lose access to some of the phone apps I need. This phone the BL7000 is heavy and large but not excessively for someone with bigger hands. The screen quality is amazing, it's lightning fast, durable and even came with a screen protector already installed so you know. Alina in the customer service was very helpful with resolving my phone issue and because of the great performance of the phones and watches I've bought through them as well as the great customer service, I plan to be a customer for a very long time.

I thought I already wrote a review. This phone is absolutely amazing. I give it a 10 out of 10. It even comes with a night vision camera on it! The price of this is extremely reasonable for what you're getting to hold in your hand. It's a nice big screen and bright, I need this because I have poor vision. I think the sound could be a little louder, but I'm working with it. Other than that, it's 24 GB of RAM and a 256 GB of storage. Plus an SD slot that I put another 256 GB card in which you can't even put in a lot of phones anymore, for some reason some manufacturers are doing away with the micro SD card slots in their phones. I appreciate that this is a Android 15 phone, I use T-Mobile service and so far I believe this phone is batting in 90 out of 100. As I said I think the volume on the voice connections could be a little louder, I'm still working on that though there's a lot to learn on this phone and you can do a lot! Being an Android, you probably already know that. I have found no limitations so far and I am quite happy. I would definitely consider this phone if you are looking for a heavy duty phone, that you can really hang on to, and does what you wanted to do. The battery life is pretty much insane, I charge it every other day and I use it all day long! My previous phone did not do that in any way! The display is amazing, I'm impressed how bright you can make it and just tell clear it is.

Received this phone and it was defective right out of the box. It started up fine, then almost immediately locked up with a message, "system UI has stopped". Could not get thru first few steps of set up or anything. It flashed black screen on and off and that was all it would do. Tried all the easy tricks (restart, on/off, SIM card in/out.etc...) nothing worked. Tried calling the customer service. It was evening but it says they have 24 hour support (which is not necessarily expected... but is what it says on the included cards) but they do not have 24 hour support. Which is okay, they do have a US number to call and leave a message for a return call. I did not get a return call the first time and had to call a second time. I again got the recording but this time someone did call me back pretty quickly. Said the phone needed to be flashed and best to just return it. That really doesn't make sense as it is brand new out of the box so shouldn't have software issues and should work on the AT&T/Consumer Cellular GSM network. In fact it appeared to connect to the cell network pretty quickly. And I had contacted the seller directly to clarify it being GSM/AT&T compatible prior to purchasing as the info in the Amazon listing was contradictory in regard to this saying it was compatible with T-mobile which is GSM but then states, and this is a direct excerpt, "Not compatible with CDMA carriers such as AT&T, ....r❌❌❌" AT&T is not a CDMA carrier. But I had asked them about this prior to purchase so that shouldn't be the problem either. Regardless It was a dud. I don't think I want to try another one. also good to note it is HUGE. dimensions are provided but until you are holding it in your hand is difficult to realize just how huge it is. We are very disappointed my husband toasted his phone and we really needed the replacement to work has been a pain and then we had to start over.

Great price, delivered fast, good phone. The BL7000 takes great pictures in very low light. It is real fast (at everything) and works very well. But it is heavy! The display is a bit weak. The Battery life is exceptional. When you buy this version be sure to delete as much Bloatware (that is preinstalled) as possible. Overall it is the best deal for a low priced quality phone that I could find. Thanks!

Corrupted software error message during bootup, only worked for two days and just reboots itself unexpectedly. Hardware spec is nice but software's not stable enough.

Very strong phone and it was very easy to use. No need to buy a case because this phone has a strong cover on it own. Despite being large and heavy, this phone performs excellently. The phone's screen is clear, and even with frequent use. The phone's NFC feature, which improves life, is its finest feature. Many phones in this price range are missing this feature. So far, cannot complain about it.

Amazing device. Very impressive so far. Smooth,fast and easy to setup

I really enjoy the features of this rugged smartphone. At first I had a few issues with connectivity and did some research regarding the compatibility with T-Mobile. What I've found out is that it has only one 5g channel that's compatible with T-Mobile, which is the extended range channel for 5g. This caused a few issues and the phone seemed to randomly reboot. After turning off the 5g manually I haven't had any issues with reboots or dropping carrier or random roaming. It works excellent with 4g and I've had no issues after switching off the 5g. If you are a T-Mobile customer and you must have full 5g compatibility, then I wouldn't suggest this particular model. If like me, you don't mind running strictly on 4g, this is a great, reliable phone. I would have given 5 stars if the description would have just said it may not be fully compatible with T-Mobile's 5g network.
