Joining the world of foldable smartphones is the Blackview Hero 10, and it’s the first of its kind in many ways. To kick off, this device is the first foldable smartphone from Blackview as the brand steps into the foldable smartphone market in its unique way. First showcased at MWC 24 held in Barcelona, this device has gained a ton of attention in the smartphone world as many might wonder what it’ll bring to the table.
While we await the official sale of this device, Blackview has flaunted its specifications on this device on its website and AliExpress store. On the AliExpress store, we get to learn a lot about this new device, as well as its pricing. While the pricing for this device is quite unsettling at this time, we will have a look at a few of the key specifications that make it stand out.
This device comes with a 6.9-inch 2.4K AMOLED screen display that gets 1300 nits peak brightness. Being a foldable device, the Blackview Hero 10 comes with an industry-leading waterdrop hinge that can withstand over 250,000 folds (buyers won’t fold this device that much). Blackview also brags that this device folds flat without any gap, but this is something we look forward to putting to the test.
Another first for this device is that it’s the first foldable device to be powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 processor. Alongside this processor is 12GB worth of RAM as standard and 256GB storage capacity. Just like any other foldable device, this entry comes with a smart cover screen where users can take quick action thanks to the widgets on display.
The images on display in this article hold all the important specifications of this new foldable device. However, the pricing of this device on AliExpress is something that came as a shock to us as we expected this device to be an affordable foldable device. In terms of its design and specifications, this device is great, but its current pricing puts it among the $1000 devices (the first device from Blackview to hit that price point) on the smartphone market.
