Blackview take a dig at Ulefone in their Be Touch 2 vs Alife P1 Pro video


It’s hard to keep track of all the flagships with the rate at which they’re coming of late, but thankfully I remember enough to tell that Ulefone’s Be Touch 2 is their newest flagship, while Blackview’s is the Alife P1 Pro.

There’s so much competition now, that Chinese OEMs aren’t just comparing their budget phones to the mighty iPhone, but also taking digs at fellow manufacturers. Blackview released a video recently, which takes this a step further.

In the video, a Blackview employee is shown pitting the Alife P1 Pro against the Be Touch 2. Obviously, the Alife P1 Pro is shown in good light (in the figure of speech sense).

Gizchina News of the week


The video compares the hardware exterior (which is surprisingly similar, to think of it), along with features including the fingerprint sensor (and the fact that the Be Touch 2 needs to be woken before attempting to have your fingerprint scanned), display, etc.

Ulefone’s Be Touch (review) impressed us with the great build, but the software was disappointing. Any Alife users here?

    The Betouch 2 doesn’t need to wake. Just press down the button and it will immediately wake and unlock in a second or so. Video is unnecessary.

    Blackview p1 pro also doesn’t have dual led flash. The rear camera is interpolated from 8mp according to gizchina.de. They were quite satisfied with the device though.

    They spell their own brand name wrong ‘blackveiw’

    Yash, I can’t agree with you. I have see ulefone reply customers on FB, maybe the software have some bugs, but they already have worked in the new version. But you can other brand, did they have do something about customer service? NO NO NO, before i have buy some chinese phones, never received update by OTA, and never reply my email. About the phones, I like ulefone Be Touch 2, high spec, best price, free gift.

    hi, Gizchina, seriously you call blackview P1 Pro a flaghship? MTK6735 with just 1Ghz clock-speed? 720P display? 2GB RAM? Are you living in ten years ago? And you compare it with Ulefone Be Touch 2 with MTK6752 with 1.7Ghz? FHD display? 3GB DDR3 RAM? And Touch ID? I’ve used Be Touch 2, and it’s the best phone i’ve ever used. Yep it has a few software bugs, and every phone (especially from Chinese) has some. And Ulefone can send FOTA upates, but will Black view do it? Look at the home button of the P1 Pro, a square one which look like Apple wrongly installed Samsung’s home button, very ugly. Don’t compare some things that are not the same level next time, because that’ll be a shame to your profesionalism.

      Definitely agree. Come on that is not even correct to compare this two phones. I’m using the Be Touch 2 for almost month already and actually must admit that that is one of the best phones I have used. I really hope that they will fix this small lugs during the listing the menu, but in the rest this phone is practically perfect. Blackview paid for this video for sure. LOL…

          What are you talking about. Who admit that the battery is fake? You look like one of those angry customers. The phone is really good. Probably one of the best for this price.

              OMG. If they admit it, that will be all over the internet. But they did not. Check their web page. There is a test that they made. It is showing 3000 mAh.

    As chief executive of Apple, i suggest people all of the world buy an iPhone. If you can’t afford it, buy something like an Apple device. Never buy Samsung phones or even something looking like it, or you will regret. Ulefone Be Touch 2, you are great.

    This video is Blackview officially done, this can be a fair comparison? Of course, Blackview is not a good brand, it may be a few months after the disappeared, I will not buy it, which makes me very worried,I will chooseJiayu态Iocean态Ulefone态elephone怂

    As the user who demanded the phone has high appearance requirements, the shape of ulefone be touch is the best I ever had. What is more, be touch 2 gave the user more better exsperience indeed.

    Note for the Blackview Marketing team.

    ” I before E accept after C”

    Official company press should really have their name spelt correctly!

    One thing I dont really understand is the motive behind this comparison video. Its very obvious that Ulefone Be touch 2 is miles ahead of the Blackview Alife P1 Pro both in design, build quality and hardware.

    So whats the point

    ulefone’s lens and LCD screen cann’t reflect actual colors. Thanks andy give me another choice, and its price is only half of ulefone’s.

    New Alife P1 Pro is even slower than my 4 years old Galaxy S3
    https://vid.me/HLNz
    Skip to 2:00 to see the slowness.
    All other phone sent to reviewer most probably having higher spec (MT6735) compared to the one sold to consumer (MT6735M).
    It also overheats very much.
    This happens before and after the OTA update..
