Blackview will be at MWC 2016 with an all new flagship model called the Blackview R7, here are exclusive images and full specifications of the new all alloy device.
Blackview plan to use their presence at MWC this year to really boost awareness of their brand by launching a new flagship smartphone called the Blackview R7. The phone features similar high-end features to rival phones, and is expected to go on sale in April.
Blackview R7 Full Specifications
The R7 will be the first Blackview phone to feature an all alloy body and be one of the new breed of Chinese phones with a borderless 2.5D screen design.
Blackview haven’t been lured in to the 2K bandwagon and have kept the 5.5-inch display a 1920 x 1080 FHD one. This is perfectly fine for us, and should mean that the Mediatek Helio P10 chipset and 4GB RAM are breathing freely for optimum performance.

The phone will feature internal storage of 16GB and will also support 128GB SD cards. A 3500mAh battery is also built-in and like all 2016 flagships should, the Blackview R7 has 9V 2.5A fast charging.
Camera’s on the R7 are 5 mega-pixel on the front and a 13 mega-pixel Samsung 3M2 sensor on the rear. Blackview seem to have a good relationship with Samsung and has used the 3M2 on a few of its devices so far.
Last but not least the Blackview R7 will have a rear fingerprint scanner and a gold finish option. Pricing isn’t announced at this time.

We’ll try to be first with a hands on with the Blackview R7 once we get to MWC next month. For anyone wanting a Blackview phone now but doesn’t want to wait then the Blackview Omega Pro is on sale now, and we will have a review of it soon.
because they are the ones google standardized for their android system. and i like them. they are clean and easy to get.
or did you mean the space between the icons? but then, what is ugly about them?
Same here, it’ annoying, that almost 99,9% chinese phones are using wrong layout psychical buttons. I prefer only onscreen buttons, like Nexus, Sony etc haves – clean and native Android.
It goes out to preference. I like any option that gets to be outside the screen, Just in case the screens breaks I can do at least something until I get a new one.
I like that it doesn;t take up screen space. Phonearena did a test on this, the 6 inch Nexus 6 has about 5.6″ of usable screen space, the onscreen buttons take up the rest.
99%? Maybe 3-4 years ago but most Chinese phones these days have ditched the traditional 3 physical buttons. Personally I love the way Meizu has done it. They have one physical button which serves as the fingerprint reader, home button (click) and back button (swipe).
I rephrase, I meant not psychical buttons, like iPhone, Samsung and Meizu have one button, but these static capacitive buttons below screen, which are wrongly placed (back and menu are swapped) and the painted icons are also horrible and sometimes without back light. OnePlus X have also capacitive buttons below screen, but they are invisible, without any icons and they can be switched off and used only onscreen buttons.
I know the buttons you were referring too, the 3 typical Android buttons like on this phone. But most Chinese phones these days don’t have these anymore. Most either use one screen buttons or they have the type I was referring too.
Because reducing your effective screen size with “onscreen buttons” while wasting the whole space beneath a phones display makes totally sense…
Hmm, lets then add static buttons to computers LCD display too? Anyway, it’s called touchscreen, not static screen. Softkeys is possible to hide, but how to hide static keys? Or suggestion 2, lets all extra small screen below to the main screen, and users can use eny style and any position buttons there.
I was talkin about spaces between icons. They are too separated. You’ll have to use some ninja hand techniques to reach far icon with one hand and the closest is a hard one too. Even if the touch zone is wide you’ll always point to center of it
