The Affordable Phone Born for Photoshoots
To win in the rat race of the smartphone market, many manufacturers have racked their brains to produce phones that are not only practical but also look good. When it comes to this respect, the recently introduced Xiaomi Mix 4 which comes with ceramic back cover deserves attention. And of course, Oppo is one that surely should not be ignored. Remember the glittery back cover of Oppo Reno 5 Pro? Oppo called that first ever technique the Reno Glow Design. Similar efforts have also been seen in a recently-introduced phone, called Blackview A100, which also comes with a shiny back cover.
Glittery Back Cover
As per an engineer from Blackview R&D team, the A100 carries a back cover made of Polycarbonate which enables the phone to be fire-retardant and impact-proof. To bring up the back cover technique a notch, Blackview A100 adopts Vacuum Metalizing technology, rendering the back cover glossy and sparkling under sunlight like metal does while allowing wireless signal to pass through it. More importantly, the A100 back cover is engraved with refined texture, making itself look like a brilliant galaxy under the exposure to daylight.
Stunning Camera
The biggest draw of the A100 is its born-for-photoshoots camera. The phone flaunts the cutting-edge Dual Pixel Autofocus (DPAF), an upgraded camera technology that helps cameras be focused more quickly and accurately. Usually, it is hard for a camera to focus while taking pictures of a motional object, but A100 camera handles the job well. It allows you to keep the camera focused and capture every split second even in front of a fast-moving object without sacrificing photo quality.
Apart from that, the smart device sports an 8MP wide angle camera which helps you fit more content into your single shot. Moreover, the device is packed with a 12MP rear camera with the Sony IMX362 sensor featuring larger 1.4µm pixels that boost light intake for enhanced low-light performance.
Another highlight of the A100 camera is the VCM (Voic Coil Motor) system. Thanks to its closed-loop VCM system that expedites the speed of recalculation and correction of autofocus, the phone guarantees faster focusing speed as quick as 0.03 second, producing photo topping those taken with earlier Blackview devices. What is more surprising is that A100 can produce 10 shots in a second in burst shots with true-to-life vibrancy. When you are skateboarding, skydiving or dancing, the device aids you to make for compelling pictures and spice your photo-shooting game.
Furthermore, the camera characterizes HDR (High-Dynamic Range) that can maintain the contrast details between different lights so as to present best-in-class and crystal-clear portraits. More importantly, A100 camera is paired with Stand-Out mode, meaning only the subject the camera focuses on will remain in colour while the rest stay in black and white.
Other specification
Beyond that, A100 has more to be acclaimed. One benefits is that it arrives with 6.67" FHD+ expansive screen that provides 1080*2400 high resolution, bringing more stunning and immersive screen time for its users. Under the hood, the phone integrated 128G ROM with MediaTek Helio P70 chipset that delivers fluid and enhanced performance by accelerating speed and lowering energy consumption. Aiming at uninterrupted use, the device is joined with a 4680 mAh large capacity battery that allows for 6 to 7 hours of entertaining time, 19 hours of calling and even 480 hours of standby time. Additionally, A100 offers a distinctive Doke OS 2.0 system based on Android 11.0 along with Blackviwe’s self-developed apps, including Cold Room, System Manager or Game Mode that block unwanted calls or popups.
