Blackview, a flourishing technology company, recently released its latest smartphone, Blackview A96. It joins the A-series stars with an appearance inherited from the iconic designs from the lineup, a more immersive audio-visual experience with a 6.5″ 2.4K 120Hz display and Harman AudioEFX®-tuned sound delivered by dual smart-PA harman/kardon® speakers, robust and seamless performance with 6nm Helio G99 Soc and up to 24GB RAM, enhanced photographic entertainment with Blackview ArcSoft® 6.0 algorithms-backed 48MP Samsung® camera modules and even more.

Adhering to the simple and elegant design of the A series, A96 showcases a flat-edged design along with flat aluminum alloy frames, a matte-finished glass back and a triple-ring camera design, which is reminiscent of the latest iPhones. Treated with sophisticated craftsmanship, it is carved with exquisite texture on the back and the glossy silky-smooth metallic frames, adding elegance to the look and tactile comfort to the touch.
