Review on Blackview BV5500 Plus 4G Rugged Unlocked Cell Phones - Waterproof, Drop Proof, 5.5” 3GB+16GB Dual SIM [Quad Core] Android 9, 4400mAh Battery, Face ID Mobile Phones (Black) by Brian Sitton

There aren't many flaws with this phone and one problem, maybe not even the phone's fault. I use LastPass for password control. The phone keeps turning off the automated part of LastPass (AutoFill). I am working on this topic. Second, the USB port on the bottom is sealed with a rubber cover for charging the phone. I understand it's for water resistance, but with every product I've had with this coating, the rubber holding the phone's cover wears out quickly. I expect that coverage will drop within a year. A kind of sliding cover would be better. In fact, both problems are very minor. Yes, that's bad. The Good is Much Better - The phone is definitely solid. I really like the rubber coating, which allows the phone to lie comfortably and securely in the hand. A customer complained that the on/off switch is too sensitive. I didn't think so. On my phone, pressing a button requires a normal press. The phone is very fast, that is, responsive. Taking a photo only takes a second for the phone to focus and snap a picture. Apps are displayed quickly and switching between them is also quick. The sound is loud enough. I also noticed that the phone picked up the AT&T cell towers in my area very quickly and with a good strong signal. I had a cheaper phone (about half the price) that worked about the same, half as much. For the price this is a very good phone. I particularly appreciate the information that the phone has GPS, a gyroscope/accelerometer and a magnetic compass. Most people advertise picture quality but forget the importance of listing all of the phone's features. I use these three features with installed apps. My previous cheaper Android phone didn't have these features, so the phone wasn't as useful as I needed it to be. The enumeration of these features in this phone ultimately made me choose this phone over others. I've done a lot of research and this phone beats others in the price range in terms of quality, features and looks. The screen is bright and the battery life is pretty good. My sim is the original sim from my long gone iphone which worked in both my previous android phone and this one. I would recommend this phone to others especially those who lead active lifestyles and need a reliable cellphone.
