Halfway paperweight, ended alright 13 March 2026

Halfway through shifting the last box I realised my phone had turned into a very expensive paperweight. Not ideal when you’re directing removals, have a dodgy back and actually bought the Blackview because of the massive battery — thought fewer trips to charge would save my spine. The BV6600 Pro showed up quickly, packaging fine, seemed built like a tank. Around a year in the OS started corrupting, random shutdowns, proper annoyance. I emailed support and at first they said the Chinese manufacturer only covers one year and I’d have to pay for repairs, which felt like a bait-and-switch given the advert talked up a two year warranty. I was brassed off, honestly, but kept pressing and eventually the customer service rep escalated it and helped arrange a paid repair at a sensible cost — not free, but not daylight robbery either. Delivery gets full marks, and the price was fair for what you get. Service was slow to start but finally decent, and I’m actually glad it didn’t end in a rubbish fight — relieved, really. Would I buy again? Maybe — just check the warranty wording and keep screenshots of the listing.
