Blackview Wave 8: Full Specifications

Blackview positions the Wave 8 as a straightforward 4G Android handset focused on essential everyday use, but it arrives with a few extras that make it more flexible than a bare-bones budget model. Its 6.56-inch IPS display runs at up to 90 Hz, giving menus and scrolling a smoother feel than many entry-level phones, while the HD+ resolution keeps power demands modest. The phone uses a Unisoc T606 processor and ships with 4GB of RAM, with storage listed at up to 256GB depending on version, plus microSD expansion up to 2TB. Blackview also lists DokeOS 4.0 based on Android 14, which keeps the software platform current for a basic device. Around the back, the main 13MP camera is paired with an 8MP front camera, and video recording goes up to 1080p at 30 fps. A 5000mAh battery is one of the more practical strengths here, although charging is limited to 10W. The Wave 8 also supports dual SIM or one SIM plus a TF card, includes dual-band Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.0 and several satellite positioning systems, and comes in a slim body for the category at 8.75 mm thick and 192 g.
