Design
As I already said, the new Blackview smartphone has a rugged design. So, it is waterproof, shockproof and dustproof by IP68, IP69K and military ratings.
I have no doubts about the durability of the smartphone, because the body is made of soft rubber, while the side edges are metal.
The main camera on the rear panel has a unique design. There are three sensors in the main camera, but we will talk about them a little later.
Another feature is a multicolored indicator light. It can be red, yellow, or green when you have an incoming call, during charging, or listening to music.
The fingerprint sensor is located under the power button. Blackview Oscal S80 also has a customized button on the other side.
You know, this is a rugged smartphone with a big battery, so it is quite heavy – 460 grams.
The thickness of the mobile device is 18.9 mm.
Display
Talking about display of the new Blackview smartphone, it has a diagonal of 6.58 inches and Full HD+ resolution.
I didn’t find information about screen protection, but I think it should be, because this is a rugged phone.
Performance
Blackview Oscal S80 is equipped with Helio G85 processor, and I think it is good for a budget smartphone. The AnTuTu score is almost 260 thousand points.
The mobile device also has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Using a software function, you can expand the RAM up to 10GB.
There is also microSD card support to expand the internal memory.
Software
By the way, talking about software, Blackview Oscal S80 runs on Android 12 operating system and DokeOS3.0. The user interface looks very nice, and there are many useful functions available.
Camera
Now, let’s go back to the camera. The main camera has 12MP main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor and 2MP depth sensor. The front camera is 8MP.
We don’t have real sample photos yet, because the smartphone will be available on sale in coming days. However, I think the pictures will be good, because the mobile device uses ArcSoft technology for the improvement of panoramic, HDR, night, beauty and portrait modes.
Battery
You know, the main feature of Blackview Oscal S80 is a battery, because it has a capacity of 13000mAh and 33W fast charging support.
The manufacturer promises 50 hours of constant calling, 15 hours of gaming and video playback, and 70 hours of music playing.
I don’t know about full battery charge, but I think it will take about 3 hours.
Conclusion
So, Blackview Oscal S80 is another new rugged smartphone in 2023 with an affordable price under $200, but a good performance and cameras. However, the highlight of this phone is 13000mAh battery.
You will be able to play games, watch video, or use social media for a long time on a single charge.
