What we like about Blackview Hero 10 (36GB + 256GB)

  • Most affordable foldable 'flip' smartphone currently on the market
  • Vibrant 6.9-inch AMOLED main display with high peak brightness of 1,300 nits
  • Sleek and premium design featuring a vegan leather back and aluminum frame
  • Impressive 45W fast charging that reaches nearly 50% in approximately 15-20 minutes
  • Commitment to 3 years of Android version updates (up to Android 16)
  • Generous 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage

What we don't like about Blackview Hero 10 (36GB + 256GB)

  • Noticeable screen crease and distracting 'hinge bumps' felt during use
  • Limited to 4G connectivity due to the budget MediaTek Helio G99 processor
  • Underwhelming camera performance, particularly in low light and lack of 4K video support
  • Small 1.19-inch external 'cover' screen offers very limited utility and can be glitchy
  • Poor battery life, often requiring a midday charge under moderate usage
  • Lacks essential modern features like eSIM, wireless charging, and official water/dust resistance

Verdict

The Blackview Hero 10 is an affordable, flip-style 4G foldable smartphone with a 6.9-inch Full HD+ AMOLED main display (2560 x 1080 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate) and a small, functional 1.19-inch OLED cover screen, powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio G99 processor. It features a robust 108MP main camera with an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 32MP front camera, along with a 4,000mAh battery supporting 45W fast charging, dual SIM support, NFC, and 256GB of internal storage paired with 12GB of physical RAM (expandable virtually to 36GB). Key pros include its significantly lower price point for a foldable device, a vibrant main display, and a promise of three years of Android updates. Cons involve an underwhelming external screen with limited functionality, a noticeable crease on the main screen, mediocre camera performance, and a lack of 5G connectivity or a microSD card slot.
