Earlier Blackview released a poster that hints at a best camera rugged outdoor smartphone that will soon hit the market. The poster doesn’t contain too many details of what the company will be launching and the launching time but today, information from the company sheds some light to the mystery: The new model is called Blackview BV9800/BV9800 Pro. Let’s take a look at some more details.
Firstly, the new device will come with a triple rear camera setup with the main sensor being the famous Sony IMX586 48MP sensor. The IMX586 is currently the most widely used camera sensor in the midrange to flagship devices and devices like Honor View 20, OnePlus 7, VIVO X27, Oppo Reno 10x Zoom, and Xiaomi Mi 9 sporting Sony’s best mobile camera sensor to date. Of course, these devices cost from around $600 to $900+.
According to DxOmark camera testing website, the IMX586 ranks at the top of their list both in video and photo shooting. Not only does it feature a high pixel count but also is large at 1/2″ with 1.6μm pixel size (via pixel binning). As Blackview revealed, the 48MP sensor will be combined with a 5MP depth camera to achieve beautiful bokeh effect. The 3d camera will sport an ultra-wide lens offering a 120º field-of-view and a 16MP sensor.
It was about time a rugged phone with the Sony sensor hit the market and who would be better to bring one than Blackview that has a long tradition in the rugged smartphone market. The sensor is proven to be one of the best around and the fact that it will be available in the budget rugged phones BV9800/BV9800 Pro is very positive.
