Editorial report

Blackview Color 8 technical sheet

The Blackview Color 8 suits buyers who want a large-capacity battery and can accept a display and cameras that compare poorly with most phones launched around the same time. Its 6,000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, while 18 W charging is slower than on most; the battery overall is typical.

The 6.75-inch IPS LCD display runs at 90 Hz, but its 260 ppi density and 450-nit brightness are among the weakest of its time. Its refresh rate is also lower than that of most contemporaries. Inside, the phone uses a Unisoc T616 with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage. Its AnTuTu result of 285,280 is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time.

The 50 MP rear camera is paired with a 2 MP depth camera, and the front camera is 8 MP. The rear sensor measures 1/2.76″, smaller than those in most phones of its time; optical image stabilization and optical zoom are absent. Connectivity includes Dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It runs Android 13 with Google Services. With a NeoScore of 4.3, the Color 8 is best suited to buyers who prioritize battery capacity and accept clear compromises in the display and camera.
