NeoTeo's verdict

Which of the two is the better buy

The Blackview Rock 2 Pro is the choice for battery and performance: its 15,000 mAh cell, 33 W charging, 5G, and 641,019 AnTuTu points beat the Rock 3's 10,000 mAh, 27 W, 4G, and 420,236 points. The Rock 3 has the higher overall score, 5.8 versus 5.2, and suits buyers who value a better camera and display.

The Rock 3 trades the rugged build for a far more manageable format: it weighs 388 g and measures 18.1 mm, versus 558.6 g and 26 mm for the Rock 2 Pro. It also delivers a 396 ppi display, 1080 × 2460 px resolution, and 750 nits, while the Rock 2 Pro has 264 ppi, 720 × 1604 px, and 650 nits. For photography, the Rock 3 brings a 108 MP main camera with video up to 1440p and a 50 MP front camera; the Rock 2 Pro counters with 16 MP, 1080p, and 13 MP, but adds 120 fps slow motion.

The Rock 2 Pro keeps the practical edge for long sessions and faster charging: its 15,000 mAh capacity comfortably exceeds the Rock 3's 10,000 mAh, while 33 W beats 27 W. It also has 5G and UFS 3.1 instead of 4G and UFS 2.1. The Rock 3 answers with Bluetooth 5.2 rather than 5.0 and a much lighter design; for anyone who does not need 5G or the larger battery, it is the more balanced phone.
