Verdict

The Blackview Tab 8 4G is a budget-friendly 10.1-inch tablet featuring a 1920 x 1200 FHD+ IPS display, 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage expandable up to 128GB via microSD. It is powered by a Unisoc SC9863A octa-core 1.6GHz processor and runs on Android 10, supported by a 6580mAh battery and dual 4G VoLTE SIM slots for mobile connectivity. Main pros include its surprisingly sharp high-resolution screen for the price, premium-feeling 8.9mm slim metal housing, and the inclusion of a protective case and face unlock functionality. However, some users have reported cons such as slow charging with high-wattage adapters, limited gaming performance due to the entry-level chipset, and occasional software bugs or sluggishness during heavy multitasking.
