Editorial report

Blackview A96 technical sheet

The Blackview A96 suits buyers looking for a fluid display and a versatile camera setup, but its main trade-off is battery capacity: its 4380 mAh battery is among the smallest of its time, and 18 W charging is slower than most phones launched around the same time. The main camera is joined by an 8 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro camera.

Its 6.5-inch IPS LCD display pairs a 120 Hz refresh rate with 405 ppi. The refresh rate is typical for phones of its time, while pixel density is higher than most. The main camera’s 48 MP resolution and 1/2″ sensor are below those of most phones from the same period; its f/1.6 aperture, however, is among the brightest. This gives the camera setup a mix of strengths and weaker specifications rather than a clear lead overall.

This version has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, and the A96 is also sold with 12 GB of RAM. Storage is not expandable. Other features include NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C, stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It runs Android 13 and supports two nano-SIM cards. Overall, the phone is typical among phones launched around the same time and earns a NeoScore of 5.4. It makes most sense for buyers who prioritize its display and camera options over battery capacity.
