Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think of the BlackView BL9000 Pro 5G.

Super interesting to see there's still brands doing these types of phones for tradespeople. Thermal imaging is a really good shout to include in a rugged phone.
I just bought this phone BL9000 only, but for thermal I picked up thermal master P2 which is an add-on using your USB port, and that one has zoom and up to 512x384 resolution. That's also my recommendation.
Love the massive battery life of the BL9000 Pro. Two days on a single charge with moderate use is seriously impressive. The Dimensity 8020 seems very power-efficient.
The only issue I'll mention being on my second bv phone is that while it is beefy sturdy and won't esthetically get damaged the extra weight makes the momentum of a drop intensify ten fold so a sinple drop w the transfer in energy can result in a fall causing the phone to short out
Now that's like a powerhouse. The Blackview BL9000 Pro looks like a beast. Thermal imaging, 50MP cameras, huge battery - this phone has it all with Mediatek Dimensity 8020.
Im more interested in actual use and practicality of the product. Thankyou for mentioning the screen brightness in sun light. Im also interested in how dark it can go when its dark out without burning my eyeballs without turning on dark mode. You said it gets pretty loud but im assuming thats for media? What about in call volume? My last concern would be overall connectivity to other devices. My ulefone is a bit finiky connecting to other Bluetooth devices and usually doesn't connect automatically. More specifically garmin watch but that could be a Garmin issue. Also my ulfeone doesn't always answer calls, says it does but just hangs up on the other end. Gets annoying having to restart my phone all the time.
Got one month ago. Great but not up to my heavy use. My wife has a Redmi note 13 pro+ it's cheaper and goes like a rocket and it's waterproof. But if you don't have a million apps running in the background and fancy a top end night camera then this is for you
Upgraded from a BV9800 PRO, also with very handy thermal camera, that I've owned the past 2.5 years. I have not completely moved over to the new BL9000 PRO, but all seems fine at this stage, EXCEPT for that horrible flap that closes the USB charging port. The BV9800 PRO was MUCH better in that respect. I'm not sure if I'll be using the 120W charger regularly, as I don't believe that can be good for the battery. Time will tell if I love the new phone more... Oh, and sorry, nearly forgot, very nice review and seemed very balanced - Well done!
Hey there, great review, one question, does this have a night time IR camera like the Ulefone Armor series oh phones? So it can see in the dark with its Infra Red lights built in, not the thermal camera? thanks!
See through walls (almost)! Blackview BL9000 Pro's Thermal Camera lets you spot hidden heat - perfect for adventurers & DIY warriors. I think the Dimensity 8020 seems very interesting in terms of the performance
thanks for the Review . I have the old one BV9800 and really the quality of parts is bad the front camera stops 2 Months later and the phone screen broke second day I bought falling from me to the ground And the speakers stops after one year . but the good thing about this phone is only call Recording and Thermal Camera when I compare it with my other new phone DOdgee v20 The BV9800 wins
@123heraz oh no, sorry you had such a bad experience! I am using this phone daily, but mainly for testing phone temperatures and it's still working great. Hopefully the durability has improved. Basil

Some details of these chinese brands: Ulefone, Doogee, Oukitel, they are all the same. NO software support nor guarantee. You can buy an USB-C FLiR camera that is way better than this and you can buy a rugged case to any smartphone.
Thanks for the comment, I reference the limited software support at 13:18, but any additional context you can give for potential customers is greatly appreciated. Have a great day. Basil
The silver lining re software support is that it comes with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery is available...so more powerful custom roms can be built for it for years to come

@@jayrome8764 yes, thats 100% true but nevertheless its something to consider if they ship hardware with bugs which happens
It will not work in Australia, The 3g network has been switched off and the Australian regulator has prevented this phone from working, I am trying to return the phone it's less than 6 months old. The old Blackview BL8800 Pro I have, still works and has longer battery performance than the BL9000 Pro. The BL9000 Pro has a better Thermal Camera but everything else is better on the older BL8800 Pro
That totally depends on you. Professional tradespeople like plumbers and electricians could benefit from it, and I actually used it on my cat, it can help make sure an infection hasn't spread (on an animal or human), and also find where drafts are coming in through an opening in a window or door. That said, for many it won't be valuable, naturally. Hope that helped! Basil
Aliens & ufos and cheating partners . Ever have your pets creep out and like something is in the room or feel chills like theirs something watching you but it’s just you can’t see it 😅. Go camping wondering what that sound is in the woods 😱 . Getting home to your spouse after a long day at work and the bedrooms off the charts 🥵🤬🧐🤪
For trades people, that thermal sucks lol sorry, but there are much better alternatives out there, which can be used with the phone's usb port. It is a good phone overall, and good video too 👍
@lumay333 for everyday short distance scanning like your house, there are lots of good thermal cams, most come with 160x90, 256x192, or even 320x240 resolutions and they do adequate job with average 25 frames per second. They usually cost few hundred dollars (sorry, don't know where you're at). For long range, you need bare minimum of 256x192 or 512x384 resolution like infiray, they usually cost around 500 dollars. After that, you really are getting into army toys, where resolutions range from 640x512 all the way into full hi definition resolutions, and unless you're willing to sell your car for them, likely won't see for a long time lol
The Blackview BL9000 Pro powered by mediatek is the ultimate rugged smartphone for outdoor enthusiasts! Its durability is unmatched, and the thermal camera is a game-changer.

Thanks for the insight, great point. I dropped it twice and it was fine, but never from a great height. Basil
And then blackview customer service leave you hanging, with zero customer service and parts available
Checking this phone out lost too many phones to rain while riding my motorcycle so I want to end that problem

i have the 9800 pro too, and i need to change, do you feel confortable with the bl9000pro? would you recomand me to buy this one?
Fast charging is fine. It reduces charge / discharge cycles by 5%. Lithium tech is really mature now so that's still over a 1000 charge cycles.
This vs ulefone armor 26 wich gets louder also wich has most special fetures?
What is the resolution of the thermal imager?
Hey there, great review, one question, does this have a night time IR camera like the Ulefone Armor series oh phones? So it can see in the dark with its Infra Red lights built in, not the thermal camera? thanks!
No night time IR camera, though the heat camera works irrespective of lighting. Hope that helps! Basil
Thinking about buying this phone
Does it work with verizon?
That's not a budget phone that's a flagship phone
Loved ur video. The smooth performance of blackview would not be compromised with the amazing mediatek chip

thermal imaging seriously? for what use ?
That totally depends on you.

Thermal imaging is used to look for bad electrical connections

There's only about a million uses.
Ridiculous comments, what's that good for?
I just use it to make me feel like I am in a *Predator* movie;

@ Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it. I am based in UK so will check what is available here.
$500-$700 is not budget
Saya ingin hasil uji thermalnya dihutan untuk mencari hewan tikus, burung di dalam semak, rumput, alang-alang

Ты себя обозреваеш или телефон ато телефон не видно а только рожу твою как вы все иностранцы любите себя свои рожи в обзорах показывать а не продукт😂
