   Meet my expectation
   I am quite satisfied with his phone so far. I have used the earbuds and phones from Blackview in the past. I needed to upgrade my phone to a phone with more storage space. This needs my need within my budget. My previous phone was 64 gb and I was tired of deleting phones and videos since my previous phone was getting to its full storage capacity. The camera is very decent and takes sharp crisp pictures. Not as sharp as iphone 11 that I was using previously but still very decent. Have not used the fingerprint feature so far. Battery lasts a while and charging time is quite fast.

   I support underdog brand phones that perform like this one
   I just received the Shark 8 today to replace the worst phone ever made. I won’t talk about that though.My first impression of it as an underdog brand phone is that it looks very up to date and well built. It looks more like a $500 – $600 phone. Replace the brand name with with a top brand name and you wouldn’t know the difference. It comes with a case that fits it like a glove and that has a slightly slick but slightly grippy texture. There are better cases but for a free added bonus case, it will work and keep the phone from getting dinged and busted up when it flies out of your hand due to your butterfingers or lack of coordination and you drop it.The screen saver that was in the box was a different story. It did not cover the whole screen and did not adhere and stick to the screen. I sent BlackView a message about it so I’ll see how good the customer support is for this company and if they are going to send me the right screen protector.The Shark 8 is very responsive and fast with no lag whatsoever which was my main concern when picking another device. It sets the bar high for other budget phones in it’s price range.It responds like it has 6gb or the advertised 8gb of Ram and there is a setting that you can toggle on that will expand the RAM and give you another 8gb only when it’s needed. 8gb is the guaranteed RAM all the time and the up to 8gb is in reserve.I like the lack of bloatware without stripping Android 13’s character. It’s Android but not stripped to to the point where it’s bland. It is just right and IMHO all phones should be equipped like this.Also the skin that BlackView put over Android 13 looks like a hybrid between Android and the other top OS the way the icons look and some of the unique features it has.The processor is fast enough that you don’t have to say “come on”, “hurry up” or start tapping your fingers waiting for it to load. It’s instant. As soon as I tap the screen the selected option or link or whatever is selected is already loaded, this also applies to content selected on a webpage online. As soon as I tap something on the screen, it is loaded. If the part about being 4g was left out of the description on Amazon, you would think this phone was able to access 5g the way it performs online. It’s that quick.Which brings me to my next point. What I don’t understand is how the wifi hotspot that this phone broadcasts is 5g, why is it only able to access 4g data from my network? It should be able to access my carriers 5g network if it can broadcast a 5g wifi hotspot. That would make more sense.Another thing that doesn’t make sense is that developer options was already in settings so I didn’t have to tap build number x 7 but there was only 1 setting under developer options. Usually the are around 50-60 settings. It’s not an Android 13 revision, it’s a BlackView revision. I enable developer options on every phone I get to turn off the animations to make the phone respond noticably quicker but this device performs like the animations are already turned off.Overall I am satisfied with this device especially for the price. It does everything I need it to do when I need it to do it, not tap the screen and wait 3 minutes for it to respond. It doesn’t get better than this in this price range. If I had my choice of phones that have prices up to $600, after experiencing this budget phone, I would skip over the competition and pick this one as a daily use device. Because at the end of the day it does everything the other 2 top brand flagship phones do with the same efficiency and speed minus a few small features.All in all I’m happy with this purchase and will most likely buy another BlackView in the future when and if the Shark 9 & 10 are released.

   Excellent value!
   This phone checks all the boxes! It works extremely well; it is fast, has a clear picture, and has an amazing camera. This camera is also effortless to set up, thus making it an excellent choice for the “not so tech-savvy individuals”. I’m very pleased with my purchase.

   Blackview cell phone
   His phone was really cheap and so far as work pretty well it has a few glitches every once in awhile but overall for the price it has worked very well I would definitely buy another one if needed battery life is excellent and the screen is pretty good sound is just okay but it works for a budget phone

   Excellent phone and great company to work with
   I am extremely happy with both the Shark 8 phone and Blackview. The phone is very powerful and handles multi-tasking and gaming well. The battery capacity and storage have been more than sufficient Alaso, I had an issue with the phone (my own doing) and Blackview was wonderful to work with–5 star service!

   Ladies and gentlemen this is a sad one
   I purchased this phone and I was using it and I used it for 4 months dropped it many many times continued working with absolutely no problems whatsoever however a week ago we were driving in a new section of the state of Missouri and I stuck my phone out the window to take a picture and dropped it at 55 miles an hour The semi behind us ran over it and pretty much obliviated the phone but I would highly recommend this phone to anyone

   Almost a good phone, but OS bugs make it unusable.
   Pros:- Phone feels nice in the hand. Good design.- Branded case is a nice touch.- Hardware is good for the price.- Decently snappy CPU.Cons:- MAJOR: Accessibility options will not stay enabled. This makes it impossible to use password managers like Bitwarden and Microsoft Authenticator.- MAJOR: Wifi Calling toggle will not stay on. It keeps getting reset to off (though wifi calling does work with T-Mobile US when it’s on).- Scrolling feels a bit laggy and janky.- Scroll speed needs a little more momentum when “flicking”. I need to scroll a lot more than with other phones, and it’s actually making my thumb ache.Update: Preferred keyboard will not stick either (SwiftKey). Basically any setting you change that involves a downloaded app (i.e. not pre-installed) won’t survive “Close All Apps” or device reboots.

   Je me suis acheté ce smartphone car j’ai endommagé le mien pendant les travaux que j’effectue a mon domicile.Je peux vous avouer que j’ai vraiment été bluffé du téléphone car au début j’avais un léger doute sur la qualité car le prix n’était pas très cher pour un smartphone de 16 go et 256 go de stockage !!!En effet le design de ce téléphone est super sympa avec les deux caméras à l’arrière qui ressortent en relief cela lui donne un look très jolie.L’écran de ce téléphone, après l’avoir utilisé je m’aperçois qu’il est très agréable à manipuler très doux et très fluide, il est également très brillant et très lumineux même en plein soleil.Ce que j’ai apprécié particulièrement lors du déballage c’est qu’il y avait une protection en verre trempé offerte ainsi qu’une coque en silicone afin de protéger le téléphone dès sa première utilisation, ce qui est un vrai plus, il ne sera donc pas nécessaire de racheter une coque apart et d’attendre sa livraison.Pour ce qui est de la mémoire du téléphone j’ai pu remarquer que c’était une mémoire extensible en fonction de vos besoins. 8go physique et 8 virtuel réglable dans les paramètres.Ce que j’apprécie également sur le téléphone c’est qu’il y a encore une prise jack 3.5, car je l’utilise souvent dans ma voiture grâce à cette prise qui disparaît de plus en plus sur les smartphones.J’apprécie également la fonction double sim ce qui me permet d’avoir deux numéros de téléphone différents car j’ai une ligne professionnelle et personnelle. Le téléphone accepte les nano SIM sans problème.Pour le prix ce téléphone fait un excellent travail, mais ne vous attendez pas à une qualité photo digne d’un iPhone ou de Samsung ça n’est pas la priorité de la marque, mais cet appareil fait de très belles photos quand même.Par contre il est très fin et très léger et très agréable à transporter on le sent à peine dans la poche.Le téléphone est assez puissant pour faire fonctionner tous les jeux disponibles sur le play store.la réponse d’ouverture des applications est vraiment très rapide.La batterie de ce smartphone tient très bien la charge vous n’aurez pas à vous soucier de la recharge pendant un bon moment.Pour conclure, c’est un smartphone qui a un très bon rapport qualité-prix et que je recommande vivement pour une utilisation simple et standard.Merci a amazon.

    Avevo acquistato per mio figlio il blackview color 8, vedendo il funzionamento e avendo poi necessità di acquistare per me un secondo telefono per lavoro ho acquista questo Shark che di differente ha la risoluzione a 128 anziché 90. Devo dire che non rimpiange i marchi più blasonati anzi ! Telefono molto veloce sia nel cambio videata che nella risposta delle app. Non lo giudicherei un muletto, molti per il prezzo basso lo potrebbero fare, ma un telefono per un uso professionale. Veramente ottimo come qualità prezzo. Anche la custodia e la doppia pellicola (una già installata e una in vetro da applicare in dotazione ) è una scelta commerciale azzeccata . Peccato per le cuffie non in dotazione avendo già l’app nativa radio (ottimo) che funziona però con le cuffia a filo.. Sarebbe stato il top. Non supporta il 5G ma non è oggi un problema, vedendo in ufficio telefoni da centinaia di euro con il 5g che si comportano come questo .. perché spendere di più ?. Batteria dura più di un giorno nel normale utilizzo.Lo consiglio.

    Ce smartphone Android de 256 Go est une excellente option pour les utilisateurs exigeants. Livré avec un chargeur, un verre de protection et une coque, il offre une solution complète dès la sortie de la boîte. Son grand écran, à la fois fin et léger, garantit une expérience visuelle immersive et agréable. La rapidité et la fluidité de ce téléphone sont très bien, permettant une navigation sans accroc entre les applications et les tâches. De plus, son autonomie solide permet de l’utiliser toute la journée sans avoir à le recharger, ce qui est idéal pour les utilisateurs actifs. En résumé, ce téléphone combine performance, praticité et élégance, en faisant un choix judicieux pour ceux qui recherchent un appareil fiable et bien équipé

    Per un prezzo basso ho in mano uno smartphone decisamente più performante di altri di fascia media appartenenti a marchi più blasonati. Consigliatissimo a chi come me non ha voglia o non può spendere uno stipendio intero per un telefono.Ha tantissimi pregi tra i quali la memoria di archiviazione da 256 giga, tanta ram, schermo bello grande con alta risoluzione e un processore decente che lo rende molto reattivo e veloce.Molte sue caratteristiche sono da top di gamma.Tra i difetti purtroppo lo speaker è mono e la qualità audio che ne deriva decisamente mediocre, fortunatamente con dei buoni auricolari la situazione migliora tantissimo. Manca il display amoled ma sinceramente posso farne a meno, ma capisco che per tanti sia fondamentale.Il problema più grande per me è l’incognita aggiornamenti, soprattutto di sicurezza, cosa comune a molti smartphone cinesi. Io smarthfone nasce e muore con Android 13 e patch di sicurezza di febbraio 2024 o ci saranno altri aggiornamenti? Nessuno lo sa. Del resto la mancanza di assistenza e di alcune funzioni come il 5g sono lo scotto che si paga per avere un telefono così performante a basso costo. Costa talmente poco che se si dovesse rompere si fa prima cambiarlo che tentare di aggiustarlo.
