Editorial report

Blackview Wave 8 technical sheet

The Blackview Wave 8 suits anyone looking for a basic phone for calls, browsing and everyday tasks, with clear compromises in its camera, performance and charging. Its 8 MP rear camera and AnTuTu result of 211,000 are among the weakest of phones from its time; its 4 GB of RAM is also less than most offered. A 4 GB / 256 GB configuration is available as well, while this version has 128 GB of expandable storage.

The 6.56-inch IPS LCD display reaches 450 nits, a peak brightness among the weakest of its time. Resolution is 720 × 1612 px, and its 269 ppi density is typical. The rear camera records 1080p video at 30 fps, but its 1/4-inch sensor is among the smallest of its time and it has no optical image stabilization. The front camera is 8 MP.

A 5,000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time, and 10 W charging is among the slowest. Connectivity includes Dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 5, GPS and other navigation systems, though overall connectivity is worse than most phones of its time. It also has Android 14, Google Services, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Overall, this is a simple phone that stands among the weakest of its time: NeoScore 3.7.
