Blackview's 2019 Max 1 is a semi-high-end (in terms of technical specs) smartphone that's defined by its top-mounted laser projector 
, a rather innovative pro that allows users to project games, movies, or business presentations onto walls -- the brand says that a distance of roughly 1.8 meters from large surface renders a 70-inch image. The forenamed selling point (Check out some other innovative phones here), which is based on the MEMS laser projection technology, is decked out with an HD-720p maximum video output and automatic keystone correction.
Some of its other pros and cons are not that appealing, though. For starters, it only comes with 64GB of native memory 
and it supports no more than 128GB of external storage , both of which sound a bit lackluster, relative to its laser projection feature, not to mention that a few tantamount models pack 128GB of native storage. The 1080p sharpness of its wide 6.01-inch 18:9 AMOLED screen might come off as a slight con to some users as well, considering that some of the leading large-screen phones found here on Phonerated feature premium-tier 2K-1440p interfaces.
Going back to its selling points, the Max 1 touts a rarely-seen (as of this technical review) dual selfie camera consisting of a 16-megapixel main cam and a modest 0.3-megapixel deputy cam -- while you're here, feel free to check out some of the best selfie phones around. At the back, it rocks a tolerable 16-megapixel rear-facing main cam.
The Blackview Max 1 supports its portable theater feature with some upmarket processing pros and cons, namely, a Helio P23 (MT6763T) octa-core processor running at 2.5GHz , a Mali G71-MP2 graphics engine clocked at 770MHz, and a hefty 6GB LPDDR4 RAM .
It also sounds promising when pitted versus some of its closest semi-flagship-class rivals stamina-wise, packing a large 4680mAh battery , which reaches a whopping 150-hour audio playback time that was around 150 percent higher than the average mark when it debuted. Also on board are a fingerprint scanner and NFC (Near Field Communication) support.
With that said, the Max 1 is obviously tailored to business-inclined shoppers or heavy binge-watchers who have a soft spot for a phone that can serve as a makeshift laser projector.

The screen is big, making it a phablet: 6 (actual diagonal size is 6.01 inches) inches and a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels means about 14.39 square inches and an image sharpness of at least 402.23 dots per inch (DPI)!
The Max 1 is boasts and exceptional 16-megapixel camera.
If Blackview's claims are accurate, the Max 1 and its (4680mAh) battery should be able to power 1980 minutes of talk time, a lot of talk time!
The 16-megapixel (combined with a 0.3-megapixel sub-cam) selfie cam offers an above-average resolution.
