What we like about Blackview 9 (24GB + 256GB)

  • Rugged and durable build quality, often resistant to water, dust, and significant drops
  • Excellent value for money with high hardware specs for the price
  • Impressive battery life, with some models lasting several days on a single charge
  • Very loud speakers, particularly on the BL9000 Pro which features Harman Kardon tuning
  • Fast charging capabilities, including 120W wired charging on flagship models
  • Unique specialized features like FLIR thermal imaging or laser rangefinders in certain '9' series editions

What we don't like about Blackview 9 (24GB + 256GB)

  • Significant weight and bulk, making the devices difficult to use one-handed or carry in standard pockets
  • Lack of software support, with users reporting a complete absence of major Android OS or security updates
  • Poor customer service and difficulty obtaining repairs or warranty support
  • Inconsistent camera performance, often struggling with low light, focus issues, or inaccurate colors
  • Software bloatware and bugs within the custom 'Doke-OS' interface
  • Lack of Widevine L1 support on many models, limiting video streaming services (like Netflix) to 480p resolution

Verdict

The Blackview Shark 9 is a budget-friendly 5G smartphone running Android 14 (DokeOS 4.0), featuring a 6.67-inch HD+ IPS display with a 90Hz refresh rate, and powered by an octa-core Unisoc T820 processor. It comes with a substantial 24GB of RAM (8GB physical plus 16GB expansion) and 256GB of internal storage (expandable up to 2TB via TF card), a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 main camera capable of 4K video recording, an 8MP front camera, and a 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. Main pros include its good value for money, generous memory configuration for smooth multitasking, 5G connectivity, NFC support, and impressive battery life, while cons often mention a mediocre or poor display resolution for its size (HD+ instead of Full HD+) and average camera performance in low-light conditions.
