Excellent value!
This phone checks all the boxes! It works extremely well; it is fast, has a clear picture, and has an amazing camera. This camera is also effortless to set up, thus making it an excellent choice for the “not so tech-savvy individuals”. I’m very pleased with my purchase.

I support underdog brand phones that perform like this one
I just received the Shark 8 today to replace the worst phone ever made. I won’t talk about that though.My first impression of it as an underdog brand phone is that it looks very up to date and well built. It looks more like a $500 – $600 phone. Replace the brand name with with a top brand name and you wouldn’t know the difference. It comes with a case that fits it like a glove and that has a slightly slick but slightly grippy texture. There are better cases but for a free added bonus case, it will work and keep the phone from getting dinged and busted up when it flies out of your hand due to your butterfingers or lack of coordination and you drop it.The screen saver that was in the box was a different story. It did not cover the whole screen and did not adhere and stick to the screen. I sent BlackView a message about it so I’ll see how good the customer support is for this company and if they are going to send me the right screen protector.The Shark 8 is very responsive and fast with no lag whatsoever which was my main concern when picking another device. It sets the bar high for other budget phones in it’s price range.It responds like it has 6gb or the advertised 8gb of Ram and there is a setting that you can toggle on that will expand the RAM and give you another 8gb only when it’s needed. 8gb is the guaranteed RAM all the time and the up to 8gb is in reserve.I like the lack of bloatware without stripping Android 13’s character. It’s Android but not stripped to to the point where it’s bland. It is just right and IMHO all phones should be equipped like this.Also the skin that BlackView put over Android 13 looks like a hybrid between Android and the other top OS the way the icons look and some of the unique features it has.The processor is fast enough that you don’t have to say “come on”, “hurry up” or start tapping your fingers waiting for it to load. It’s instant. As soon as I tap the screen the selected option or link or whatever is selected is already loaded, this also applies to content selected on a webpage online. As soon as I tap something on the screen, it is loaded. If the part about being 4g was left out of the description on Amazon, you would think this phone was able to access 5g the way it performs online. It’s that quick.Which brings me to my next point. What I don’t understand is how the wifi hotspot that this phone broadcasts is 5g, why is it only able to access 4g data from my network? It should be able to access my carriers 5g network if it can broadcast a 5g wifi hotspot. That would make more sense.Another thing that doesn’t make sense is that developer options was already in settings so I didn’t have to tap build number x 7 but there was only 1 setting under developer options. Usually the are around 50-60 settings. It’s not an Android 13 revision, it’s a BlackView revision. I enable developer options on every phone I get to turn off the animations to make the phone respond noticably quicker but this device performs like the animations are already turned off.Overall I am satisfied with this device especially for the price. It does everything I need it to do when I need it to do it, not tap the screen and wait 3 minutes for it to respond. It doesn’t get better than this in this price range. If I had my choice of phones that have prices up to $600, after experiencing this budget phone, I would skip over the competition and pick this one as a daily use device. Because at the end of the day it does everything the other 2 top brand flagship phones do with the same efficiency and speed minus a few small features.All in all I’m happy with this purchase and will most likely buy another BlackView in the future when and if the Shark 9 & 10 are released.

good phone , with one caveat
The phone is nice. The only thing about it is that when I used it with a memory card, it for some reason kept wanting me to factory reset it. So, in order to make that stop, I took it out, and there has not been a factory reset issue since then… fingers crossed it won’t ever happen again.Other than that, it works great with my T-mobile account and the phone itself is solid.

Excellent phone and great company to work with
I am extremely happy with both the Shark 8 phone and Blackview. The phone is very powerful and handles multi-tasking and gaming well. The battery capacity and storage have been more than sufficient Alaso, I had an issue with the phone (my own doing) and Blackview was wonderful to work with–5 star service!

Blackview cell phone
His phone was really cheap and so far as work pretty well it has a few glitches every once in awhile but overall for the price it has worked very well I would definitely buy another one if needed battery life is excellent and the screen is pretty good sound is just okay but it works for a budget phone

Amazon Customer –
Ladies and gentlemen this is a sad one
I purchased this phone and I was using it and I used it for 4 months dropped it many many times continued working with absolutely no problems whatsoever however a week ago we were driving in a new section of the state of Missouri and I stuck my phone out the window to take a picture and dropped it at 55 miles an hour The semi behind us ran over it and pretty much obliviated the phone but I would highly recommend this phone to anyone

Avevo acquistato per mio figlio il blackview color 8, vedendo il funzionamento e avendo poi necessità di acquistare per me un secondo telefono per lavoro ho acquista questo Shark che di differente ha la risoluzione a 128 anziché 90. Devo dire che non rimpiange i marchi più blasonati anzi ! Telefono molto veloce sia nel cambio videata che nella risposta delle app. Non lo giudicherei un muletto, molti per il prezzo basso lo potrebbero fare, ma un telefono per un uso professionale. Veramente ottimo come qualità prezzo. Anche la custodia e la doppia pellicola (una già installata e una in vetro da applicare in dotazione ) è una scelta commerciale azzeccata . Peccato per le cuffie non in dotazione avendo già l’app nativa radio (ottimo) che funziona però con le cuffia a filo.. Sarebbe stato il top. Non supporta il 5G ma non è oggi un problema, vedendo in ufficio telefoni da centinaia di euro con il 5g che si comportano come questo .. perché spendere di più ?. Batteria dura più di un giorno nel normale utilizzo.Lo consiglio.

Le Blackview Shark8 est probablement le meilleur smartphone au monde au vu du prix qui est imbattable 150 euros pour une configuration de rêve hormis le fait d’avoir 16 Go / 256 Go, NFC, wifi dernière génération, bluetooth également,…, vous avez surtout la possibilité d’utiliser 2 cartes nano sim et une carte micro sd pour ceux qui ont bcp de fichiers multimédias à avoir sous la main.Effectivement pour 150 euros n’allez pas comparer la partie photo avec les smartphones vendus à plus du SMIC mais là aussi les photos sont très bonne et iront même rivaliser avec les smartphones de 500 euros. Le son est très bon pour la conversation téléphonique et écouter sa musique ou regarder un film.Pour ceux qui ne cherchent pas un téléphone pour frimer mais pour téléphoner et ne pas se priver des technologies modernes le Blackview Shark8 a été créé pour vous. Foncez et vous ne serez pas déçu car une fois de plus à 150 euros je me demande comment ils ont fait pour nous proposer ce smartphone très complet et très abouti. L’autonomie est très bonne une bonne journée en utilisation semi intensive c’est dans la moyenne d’aujourd’hui.Effectivement on peut lui pardonner quelques ralentissement si jamais vous le poussez dans ces dernières retranchements cad ouvrir un max d’applications en mm temps.Et qui sait peut-être la prochaine déclinaison nous aurons droit a un smartphone IP 68 avec tte les technologies modernes pour un prix cadeau il n’y a pas d’autres mots concernant le rapport qualité/prix/configuration.A découvrir absolument pour tous ceux qui cherchent un smartphone défiant toute concurrence.

Le téléphone est bien pour le prix sauf qu’au bout de trois mois il est HS, sans choc ni rien, il s’est éteint.

Per un prezzo basso ho in mano uno smartphone decisamente più performante di altri di fascia media appartenenti a marchi più blasonati. Consigliatissimo a chi come me non ha voglia o non può spendere uno stipendio intero per un telefono.Ha tantissimi pregi tra i quali la memoria di archiviazione da 256 giga, tanta ram, schermo bello grande con alta risoluzione e un processore decente che lo rende molto reattivo e veloce.Molte sue caratteristiche sono da top di gamma.Tra i difetti purtroppo lo speaker è mono e la qualità audio che ne deriva decisamente mediocre, fortunatamente con dei buoni auricolari la situazione migliora tantissimo. Manca il display amoled ma sinceramente posso farne a meno, ma capisco che per tanti sia fondamentale.Il problema più grande per me è l’incognita aggiornamenti, soprattutto di sicurezza, cosa comune a molti smartphone cinesi. Io smarthfone nasce e muore con Android 13 e patch di sicurezza di febbraio 2024 o ci saranno altri aggiornamenti? Nessuno lo sa. Del resto la mancanza di assistenza e di alcune funzioni come il 5g sono lo scotto che si paga per avere un telefono così performante a basso costo. Costa talmente poco che se si dovesse rompere si fa prima cambiarlo che tentare di aggiustarlo.
