Evidence-based overview

Wave 2C technical sheet

The Blackview Wave 2C uses a compact 5-inch IPS LCD display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Its resolution is 480 × 854 pixels, with 196 ppi and peak brightness of 400 nits. The plastic body weighs 158.5 g and is 11.1 mm thick, with Black and Orange listed as the colours. A rear fingerprint sensor handles biometric access.

Its hardware is built around the Unisoc SC9863A1, an octa-core processor reaching 1.6 GHz. There is 3 GB of RAM and up to 32 GB of expandable storage. Android 16 and Google Services are included. The recorded AnTuTu result is 105,465 on v9; that figure is a specification reference, not evidence of real-world performance in every app.

The 5 Mpx rear main camera includes autofocus, HDR, panorama, digital zoom and a Dual LED flash. A 13 Mpx secondary rear camera and a 2 Mpx front camera complete the listed setup. Optical image stabilization is not provided on the main camera. The 3,000 mAh Li-Ion battery supports 5 W charging and 5 W wireless charging, but no endurance figure is documented.

This phone may suit someone who wants a small device with Android 16, Dual Nano-SIM, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, FM radio and GPS. LTE, Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 4.2 broaden its connections, while the modest display, memory and processor define a basic hardware profile.
