Blackview S8 - User Reviews

  • ahhh company compression with s8 they r mad samsung s8 is very big set its just very nominal set . charging pin use also as hand free its big lack in this set .

  • Why? I will tell you why! A 28nm chip is still cheaper to this day than a 14/16nm its kinda shameful really but this is why Unisoc made a new 28nm octa-core on same 28nm tough theirs is a newer version of 28nm and uses A55 cores which should in theory reduce the heat. ^_^

  • Yo man, the reason why your phone is overheating is because it's on a 28nm technology, but it's octa core. (octa cores are used on slightly powerful socs, unlike this one, a very low end one) I Don't know if you understand what I'm saying, but that is 100% the reason

  • No. It has a 28nm nanometer soc. It has a very, very low-end mediatek chipset. Though it's still octa-core (8 cores) and I'm not sure why they did that, but it completely makes the phone heat because of that.

  • Excellent phone for the price! Why are you guys comparing it to other phone not in the same class duh!! The only downside is the comms services, wifi,bluetooth, shutting down when the screen locks! As for music, use a bluetooth speaker! For all you complainers out there, read the specs before you buy! It ain't rocket science!!

  • This phone is very bad after some minutes using the phone it gets very hot my finger print function stopped working after 4months really bad I'm regretting

  • Excuse me in advance for my english Very Very Very bad services. A lot of functions that are allowed in other smarthphones, arent allowed with BlackView s8 Besides the firm doesn't have a web site, or a pdf or a support web pages where they explain how to do. How can I move contacts from alls to preferites? How can I move a call to contacts or preferites? Very simple functions that in other smarths work well, are unknown in this software

  • Yeah you should have looked up what you bought before buying it to any chip with 8-cores and 28nm fabrication node is sadly doomed to overheat... (another well known example of this is the Snapdragon 821) I have the honor V9 Play which has same chip, sure it gets hot but has no major issues! Blackview may also not be on par with honor & Samsung on software...

  • This is a really terrible phone, really really terrible. Paid $230 Aus dollars. Music, sports tracking apps,and podcasts stop 10 seconds after screenlock comes on. This is a major flaw . the blackviewS8 help site is useless for any remedy, there is none apart from leave auto screenlock on maximum time, which isn't great for security or battery life. Speaking of which it overheats when charging too.. Save a photo from an SMS to the picture gallery? Seemingly can't be done. Ask the in phone help menu ? None exists. My verdict, pay a few dollars extra for a Samsung galaxy S7. Or Samsung J5pro, or samsung J7 pro.. Alp these second rate/older Samsung models make the blackviews8 look like what it is, a cheap shoddy made piece of absolute crap. Fwiw, I an not a Samsung shill either, but any of these reviewers that have rated the blackview as reasonable value for money have clearly copped a bit of hacksheesh from them, it may s an absolute piece of rubbish, barely worth $20

  • Or just buy a better phone lol

  • Something tells me you've never used a flagship...

  • does this phone work in Canada? Thanks

  • Finally we got Blackview devices on this page but umm where is the older devices? Where are such classics such as the legendary "Blackview Ultra Plus"! D:

  • Perfect phone, for such an inexpensive phone, it has a wealth of features, such as a near stock Android 7.0, a quick, responsive MediaTek Octa-Core processor, 4GB of RAM, a nice, bright, HD (720X1440) screen, and the fingerprint scanner is very snappy and responsive, and 64GB of ROM, which is more than enough to store hundreds of pictures and music files, and a good amount of videos, which the phone can record at 720P, overall, for the price, it's a great phone and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a snappy, responsive smartphone phone for everyday use.

  • no, go buy new asus max pro

  • Is it safe to use a phone without any published SAR values?

  • Use ur laptop download the stock rom and flash the rom and ur phone is good again

  • so should i buy this phone?

  • Nice for phone for €180. Only real negative is the absence of a dedicated headphone jack. But the audio quality thru the USB adapter with a good pair of headphones is nice. I Like having a front facing camera with the same spec as the rear one, and the fast charging is great. So far so good.

  • I tried update my blackview S8 update using wifi after OTA update dead no power no display.. before i update check the battery 60% but no luck anymore. its dead.. now.. anyone can help me.. please.. comments..

  • Update your S8 phone to fix the bug.

  • I bought a brand new phone this model. after a week it started to self spontainiosly restart, the application closing by them selvs, and the shortcut setting menu became unaccesible. Now is awaiting to be returned.

  • Folks beware! I had two Blackview R7. They had worst audio output quality which I experienced during last 20 years. Extreme heavy 200 gr, other parameters and quality as good.

  • on the front is s8 and the back is j7+ lol....

  • I know this brand but its unknown even among the china low end companies. But they do decent devices with great specs for a very low price.

  • Yet another chinaphone with crappy band support.

  • Samsung Galaxy S8 copycat.

  • Never heard of this company before... anyway, the RAM and internal storage are decent, while the chipset and display are mediocre. Should have gone better using 1080p resolution, it would boost higher ppi number. Android version could also have been better with 7.1.2 if not 8.0.
