- Analysis by KJ David
The epitome of a big-battery smartphone, at least around the time we were reviewing its technical pros and cons, the Blackview BV9500 blusters with a whopping 10000mAh battery 
sitting in its engine room, outstripping most of its rivals in the high-endurance category when it comes to raw power capacity. Its large battery powers up either through its 12V/2A charging system (It reaches full capacity in 3.5 hours) or through Qi-standard wireless charging.
Its humongous battery aside, the BV9500 does not quite hit our expectations hardware-wise, settling for no more than 4GB of RAM 
and only 64GB of native memory . In comparison, several other big-battery contenders offer up to 6GB's worth of RAM and start out with 128GB on-board memories. That said, its MediaTek Helio P23 eight-core engine, which clocks in at 2.5GHz , made it one of the fastest smartphones in its category as of this Phonerated analysis.
The BV9500's specs are housed inside a 365-gram-heavy rugged shell that passes IP68 and MIL-STD-810G certifications , which essentially means that its body is impervious to dust grains and liquids and can withstand drops from up to 1.8 meters.

This Blackview phone's other features include a dual-rear camera system composed of a 16-megapixel primary cam and a 0.3-megapixel (VGA) depth-sensing cam that we flagged as a slight con, if only for its dinosaur-esque pixel resolution. Its front-facing camera comes in the form of a 13-megapixel S5K3L8-sensor cam with an f/2.0 aperture.
Up front, it touts a 5.7-inch FHD+ (2160 x 1080) IPS display furbished with a Gorilla Glass panel, while the rest of its pros and cons include an edge-mounted fingerprint scanner, dual nano SIM card trays, and standard 4G network connectivity.
Its 18.7mm-thick body is offered in Black, Yellow, and Green, with the Android 8.1 Oreo platform tying everything together. So, with a monstrous battery leading its pros, the Blackview BV9500 is easily a phone for outdoorsy users who value battery life over anything else.
