Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Blackview BL9000 5G (24GB + 512GB)

  • Phenomenal, multi-day battery life (8800mAh)
  • Extremely durable and rugged design with IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H ratings
  • Very loud, good quality Harman Kardon Smart-PA speakers that can replace a portable Bluetooth speaker
  • Good overall performance for daily apps and demanding games, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor
  • Very fast 120W wired charging, getting to 50% in about 15 minutes
  • Bright, smooth 6.78-inch, 120Hz IPS LCD display with Gorilla Glass Victus protection
  • Glove mode feature for use with thick gloves
  • Near-stock Android 14 (DokeOS 4.0) with minimal bloatware
  • High storage capacity (512GB ROM) and ample RAM (12GB physical, expandable virtually)
  • Useful integrated toolkit app and a very bright flashlight
  • The Pro version includes a high-resolution FLIR Lepton 3.5 thermal imaging camera, which is very useful for specific professional and outdoor situations

What we don't like about Blackview BL9000 5G (24GB + 512GB)

  • The phone is very large, heavy (412g), and bulky, making one-handed use difficult and potentially not fitting well in some pockets
  • Mediocre camera performance, especially in low light conditions where images can appear muddy or washed out
  • No guaranteed future Android version or consistent security updates, a common issue for this brand
  • Some users report software issues like occasional lagging during multitasking or unexpected app closures, though some initial issues were resolved by a firmware update
  • The display lacks the vibrant colours and deep blacks of an AMOLED panel
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack
  • No expandable storage support via microSD card
  • Can be pricey, especially the Pro version, meaning you need to truly value the ruggedness and specific features like the thermal camera
  • The charger can get very hot during fast charging

Verdict

The Blackview BL8000 5G is a durable, rugged smartphone with a dual-screen design, featuring a 6.78-inch 2.4K FHD+ 120Hz main display and a 1.32-inch rear screen for quick access to notifications and controls. It is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 7050 5G processor, boasts a substantial 24GB of RAM (via 12GB physical plus 12GB virtual expansion), and offers a large 512GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, expandable up to 2TB via microSD. A major pro is its exceptional durability, with IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H certifications, allowing it to withstand water immersion, dust, and drops, further enhanced by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both screens. It also has a large 8800mAh solid-state battery with 33W fast charging and a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN5 main camera capable of 4K video recording. A potential con is its bulky design compared to standard smartphones due to the rugged build, and it may not be compatible with certain specific network carriers like AT T or Verizon.
