The rugged outdoor smartphone Blackview BV6000 is just waiting to burst out of the presale bubble and wreak havoc around the world, because the IP68 certified device looks pretty promising to many active users. But not just the dustproof and waterproof capability is the main selling point of the phone, because it can actually offer some pretty okay hardware inside.
Blackview BV6000 will be smaller than is the current norm, but for rugged phone is the 4.7-inch screen just perfect and the HD resolution (1280x720 pixels) sufficient, 3rd gen Gorilla Glass to protect it is a given too. Heart of the phone will be the octa-core Mediatek Helio P10 (MT6755) clocked at 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB of expandable storage. Everything runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
We have seen already quite some stress test videos of Blackview BV6000 but with the main focus on the rugged aspects of the device it's easy to forget it has some more functions worth mentioning than just the water and dust resistances.
We have a video from Blackview for you showcasing most of the important BV6000 functions so you can see and judge for yourself. And if the phone would catch your attention, well then it's easy to preorder it for $199.99 for example here.
