A number of smartphones have been modelled after the Samsung Galaxy S8 flagship by Chinese OEMs as a cheaper alternative. The Blackview S8 is one of the high-end flagship’s dub with a mid-range hardware and a number interesting features. Does this smartphone qualify as a budget alternative of the Samsung flagship? We’ll see.
Blackview S8 Key Specs and Price 5.7-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1440 X 720 pixels (283 ppi) Octa-core MediaTek MT6750 CPU with 4GB RAM 64GB built-in storage, up to 128GB with memory card Dual 13MP + 0.3MP rear camera and dual 8MP + 0.3MP front camera 4G LTE Fingerprint sensor (rear) 3, 180mAh non removable Li-Po battery
The Blackview S8 is features an 18:9 aspect ratio like the S8 smartphone. However, it is smaller in size and its appearance leans towards the Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone with the curved back panel. Also, the smartphone has a bezel-less approach to it’s design with a minimal top and bottom bezel.
The display here is quite basic for a mid-range smartphone like the Blackview S8. Featuring a 5.7 HD+ IPS display panel the smartphone has a pixel density of a 282 ppi. Overall colour reproduction and viewing angle is quite alright although there’s nothing really immersive about it, it sure gets the work done..
Battery and CameraThe battery life here is somewhat average. I mean most smartphones have around this range of battery juice. However, with a 3, 180mAh battery capacity you should be able to squeeze a little over a day use without charging without any problem.
