Thank you for your review! I have the Cat S61 but I already ordered the Blackview. There are many uses for the thermal camera: Find heating pipes, find sloppy electric connections, we even used it to find an inflammation on a cat's paw and to check the fire place from the bedroom window before going to sleep. It is also great for finding the cat outside at night. We even identified a young cookie monster who heard us approaching and quickly put the jar back on the shelf, but left his thermal hand print on it.

Hey Mo, great review! Very detailed and neutral - keep up the good work my man!

[@danieljarvis8041]

FYI, the patented MSX(r) (where you have the visible and thermal overlay) can be adjusted manually. Since you are merging two cameras you will get an offset based on the distance of the object. So, if you align the images near, you may need to adjust the alignment manually for far. Look in the settings menu for this adjustment. Also try the Alpha blending, temperature alert and alarming, very helpful if you are setting the system up to monitor something and need to know if it is above a temperature.

Interesting, that was such a hidden feature. It's much better now. Thanks for the tip.

[@dimosstamatatos3027]

Thanks

[@titusm9837]

the thermal image can be calibrated to overlay corectly -- you must do that because the cameras as separated

[@scottlewis2653]

I think its a great phone, with some really good features and a mediatek dimensity chip

[@dimosthenisstamatatos3260]

Any idea why the flor does not load? It keeps trying dor minutes and the phone gets very hot. Thanks

[@techmo2020]

Hi, mine doesn't have this problem, maybe try reaching out to their customer support?

I currently have a blackview bl 6000 which has been abused over the last 3 years. I've accidently ran it over twice and its probably been dropped a hundred times from about 3 ft. To be honest the blackview phone is the toughest phone I've ever had. I don't even bother to turn it off when i clean it in the sink and its more water proof than the speaker I have so it has gone into the shower with me every day I've owned it. I have probably put 30 screen protectors on the phone and still haven't broke the phone. The phone is very tough. Gaming isn't really a thing on blackview phones IMO the screen will work better when wet and with gloves but it seems less precise than other phones. Biggest problems I've had with the black view is they don't update the phone and the camera is either good or it just wont take the picture (becoming more of an issue with age but this may be due to the abusive life it's had). If you need an extremely tough phone and don't play a lot of games blackview is great.

[@jeffreytruong8918]

just bought it its insane

[@antonio95cro]

Is it good?

[@abosaad599]

Is it worth ?

[@jeffreytruong8918]

Hey guys to reply to you. I prefer the tank 3 Pro over this one because the software on it is not stabled !other than that its good

[@HalP-fz3iy]

Yay first, I'm never first. Good video mo

[@techmo2020]

You are indeed the first :)

[@user-zx7uv5ez9g]

Don't buy. Telefony Blackview nie otrzymują wsparcia do kolejnych wersji Android. Mam BV9800 PRO, który trafia do śmietnika, tylko z powodu, że zatrzymał się na Android 9, a firma nie planuje aktualizacji i ma użytkowników w nosie.

[@jeffreytruong8918]

already bought its so good

[@derekparisian2023]

Samsung does the same thing. With any of their phones, after 2 years you don't get support for them. Not sure what you are crying about. With a fake username like that clearly a bot account
