What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.4 for now.

What customers like about Blackview Link 2

  • A 5000 mAh battery keeps it going for reading and video.
  • 128 GB of storage leaves room for films, books and apps.
  • Two speakers and GPS are built in.
  • FM radio is built in, so you can listen without streaming.
  • Split-screen mode lets two apps share the screen.
  • App offloading helps free space when apps sit unused.

What customers don't like about Blackview Link 2

  • At 180 ppi, text looks soft on the 8.68-inch screen.
  • A single GPU execution unit makes games and heavier apps struggle.
  • There is no LTE, so the internet depends on Wi-Fi.
  • It has no water or dust rating, so rain is a real risk.
  • Updates come for only a short time.

Verdict

Storage of 128 GB and a 5000 mAh battery give the Blackview Link 2 a practical base for everyday use. The 8.68-inch screen is small, and at 180 ppi text looks soft, so long reading can feel tiring. The 60 Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling simple but not especially smooth. Its one GPU execution unit means games and heavier apps will struggle. Video from the main camera records at 1080 x 30 fps, which is fine for quick clips. Split-screen mode, GPS and FM radio are handy extras. There is no LTE, so it relies on Wi-Fi for the internet, and it has no water or dust rating. It suits a buyer who wants a budget tablet for video, news and recipes at home, not a machine for games or outdoor work.
