Display: 5.0 inch 1280 x 720 Pixel IPS screen CPU: MTK6580A 1.3GHz Quad Core System: Android 7.0 RAM + ROM: 1GB RAM + 8GB ROM Camera: 5.0MP front camera + 5.0MP back cameras Sensor: Ambient Light Sensor, Gravity Sensor, Proximity Sensor SIM Card: dual SIM dual standby. Dual Nano SIM Cards or 1 Nano SIM Card and 1 TF Card Feature: GPSA / GPS Bluetooth: 4.0 Network: 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz 3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz Battery: 5050 mAh
So the cons are the 1GB of RAM and lack of 4G. It will also be quite slow.
The pros are, Android 7, a big battery, an SD card slot and of course the price!
So if you're in the market for a phone that you don't mind losing while you're drunk or dropping in the swimming pool or accidentally flushing down the bog, this might be for you!

Decent & honest review of the M-Net Power 1 here (he was rather impressed by what you can get for fifty bucks!)

Not trying be that guy, but this looks like a better option for anyone seriously considering a phone in this price range.

Had a quick look and this one has better camera and almost twice the battery, the rest being similar, care to expand what does yours have better?

Better camera is debatable tbh.
Having had experience of 5 different Blackview phones in the past 12 months I know they're a decent manufacturer that produces solid devices. Like an upper league 1 or lower Championship level. I've never heard of this manufacturer so you'd be taking a bit of a punt in that regard.
Obviously the specs are there for you to make your own judgement and I've not actually used either device, was just offering another option :raised_hand:

Awesome. Buy this instead of iPhone X and have spare cash to buy a car.

In the 1990s in knew people who purchased watches for £2000+ humans have the free will to make their own choice, if i had the option of any phone i would still choose an iphone for my children who are under 14 i would choose a phone like on this thread.

Of course everybody has the right to make their own choice, but that doesn't mean everybody makes the right choice.

Spotted this last night. Don't see high capacity removable batteries so much these days.
Hot from me.

Okay. Looks like it's been and gone now. Will expire. If anyone managed to get one at the low price, I hope you enjoy your new phone.
