Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Blackview XPLORE 1 has a 20000 mAh battery. That capacity is handy for trips and long navigation sessions, giving you more flexibility between charges. Actual battery life still depends on screen brightness, signal strength and workload.
The secondary rear screen lets you check the time and basic information while the phone lies face down. It is a small but handy detail for a desk or workspace.
The 120 Hz display makes scrolling through pages and menus look smoother. Its 6.78-inch size is handy for messages, videos and maps. That helps in everyday use, although game frame rates still depend on the chipset.
The stated IP68/IP69K protection is useful around dust and rain when working outdoors. This makes the phone worth considering for travel and field work where a conventional slim phone would need extra protection. The rating does not make it immune to every drop.
Fast charging at up to 55 W makes it easier to top up the large battery during a stop or break. Reaching that power requires a compatible charger and cable. Charging slows as the battery approaches full.
