Editorial report

Blackview Wave 2C technical sheet

The Blackview Wave 2C suits anyone looking for a basic, compact phone with a low weight. It stands 135.6 mm tall and weighs 158.5 g, putting it among the lightest phones of its time. The trade-off is substantial: its display, performance, cameras, and battery are among the weakest compared with phones launched around the same time.

Its 5-inch IPS LCD display has 196 ppi pixel density and 400-nit peak brightness, both among the weakest figures of its time. Memory is limited to 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, though the storage is expandable. Its AnTuTu result is also among the weakest. The rear camera's 5 MP resolution is among the lowest, while its f/2 aperture is worse than most phones of its time. The 3,000 mAh battery and 5 W charging are likewise among the weakest figures.

For basic tasks, the phone includes Android 16, dual Nano-SIM support, USB Type-C, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Navigation includes GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, and Google Services are present. Its low weight is the clearest strength, while the display, memory, camera, and battery impose notable limits. With an overall NeoScore of 2.5, the Wave 2C makes most sense for someone prioritizing a simple, lightweight phone rather than strong specifications across these areas.
