The Blackview BV8800 smartphone comes with WLAN(wi-fi), Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, Radio, and USB Type-C 2.0 as well as USB On-The-Go.

The smartphone’s battery is a non-removable Li-Po 8380 mAh battery with fast charging 33W which charges 31% in 30 minutes and 100% in 90 minutes and reverse charging.

For the selfie camera, the Blackview BV8800 smartphone offers 1080p@30fps video, while the main cameras have Dual-LED flash, HDR, and panorama features with 1440p@30fps video.

There are no choices in terms of storage on the Blackview BV8800, so you do not get to decide on which variety to go for. You are left with only one option of the 128GB 8GB RAM storage capacity and even if the available memory capacity is not enough to store your pictures, videos or any file at all, there’s no slot for a microSDXC card. Users who wish to expand their storage capacity cannot do so.

The Blackview BV8800 smartphone comes in a large box because of its size. In this box, you will find a 33W USB-PD power adapter, a USB-C cable, a screen protector, and the device.
