What customers don't like about Blackview A100 (6GB + 128GB)

  • Recurring hardware issues, particularly with the USB-C charging port failing over time
  • Occasional software bugs and system instability, such as 'NFC service has stopped' pop-ups
  • Unstable Wi-Fi connectivity reported by some users

Verdict

The Blackview A100 is a budget-friendly smartphone featuring a MediaTek Helio P70 processor and a generous memory configuration of 6GB RAM paired with 128GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. Key characteristics include a large 6.67-inch FHD+ display and a 4680mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. Its main pros are the decent camera setup, notably the 12MP Sony IMX362 main sensor, and the smooth performance provided by the substantial RAM for its price point. A common con for this model is that it typically shipped with Android 11 initially and may lack consistent major software updates.
