Good phone, battery life less than expected.
This is a good budget smartphone. I will keep it simple:Pros: a very competent phone, fast and responsive, nice big screen with good colour depth and viewing capabilities, decent camera for your everyday photos, not overly cluttered with built-in apps, has so far not dropped wifi or Bluetooth connections, fingerprint and face recognition really responsive, looks good as well.Cons: battery life currently not as expected but could be down to setting up and high usage at work, will try and get a better idea when just used moderately, some intermittent slight delays with Bluetooth where it seems to loose the signal before getting it again.Currently happy with the purchase, my other half has also purchased a Black view phone, the A95, and she rates it higher than her work i-phone.Will give further review in a few months time.

Not flash but a great phone for the price.
I needed a cheap dual sim phone quickly and I didn't have a lot of money to spend so opted for this one after seeing the reviews on Amazon. I ordered the phone at 9:30 pm and received the phone the next morning. I'm going to get the negatives out of the way first. The phone casing is a light cheapish feeling plastic - I haven't dropped it yet so I don't know how it will stand up to bouncing off the floor and I have a history of regularly dropping phones. My last phone - a Nokia had a steel case and I put a screen protector on it and that phone survived many drops without breaking or cracking the screen so we wait and see how this reacts to being dropped. The external speaker when playing youtube video's etc sounds a little tinny and it's at the back of the phone. The camera certainly doesn't appear to be near as good as the Nokia this phone will be replacing. The touch screen requires a slightly firmer contact than the Nokia did. Now for the good bits - This phone was only half the price I paid for the Nokia about 3 years ago. It has a camera with half the megapixels of the nokia so the results will be poorer. Other than that it's a very capable phone. When you get it just finish off charging it - mine was 70% charged. Open the back, put your sim(s) in - I had ones from 2 different providers, giffgaff & EE and they both loaded up the settings automatically very quickly. N.B - its a 4G phone but for some reason while loading the settings up it shows up as 3G only - don't panic it goes up to 4G when loaded. I transferred all the files, photo's across from the old phone without a hiccup and everything is working fine. It comes with a protective soft plastic rear case cover and screen protector supplied. It's a cracking little phone for the money. At a time when single sim phones (I need dual sim for business &personal use) are costing £1000 for premium and £500 for an average phone I paid £75 for a phone that does everything I need it to do and more. The battery life is very good - it's been 48hrs since I charged it and it's got about 15% power showing. If you can get passed the fact it's not a "brand" name or a fashion accessory it's a very good phone and excellent value for money. It's a decent weight - you know it's in your pocket - and sits well in your hand. Comes supplied with UK plug USB charger. If it lasts a year - and it will I'm confident - then it's good value, if it goes 2 or 3 years what more could you want for that price? Recommended!

Average phone
The phone for the specs can be a little laggy at times not as responsive as I'd have liked. It's not a bad phone overall I think it's worth the money you pay for it but I think in hindsight I'd have rather paid another 30-40 pounds for something a bit more powerful.

A good phone for how much?
This was a replacement for my five year old OnePlus, which has been superb. I am not a phone snob and want something that is functional, take a few snaps,the battery life is good and it doesn't break the bank!I came across the Blackview brand and having never heard of them was sceptical. When I saw the prices I was even more so. However reading the reviews I took the plunge and bought the A60 Pro.Nicely packaged, it was refreshing to find the battery 75% charged and setting up was very easy. Transferring apps etc from old to new was simple thanks to the Android operating system.Getting the back off is a little tricky and use something made out of strong plastic - NOT a screwdriver! Fitting the old sim and micro SD again is easy.The phone uses Android 9 which is slightly different to my old phone but still very intuitive. This biggest differences I found from a 5 year old phone was as follows: the screen is very responsive and easy to type and move around. The battery life is great though I've yet to fully test this. It is thicker than my old phone but I guess that's something to do with a larger battery. I liked that it comes with a fitted screen protector and a plastic case.I haven't fully tested the camera but it seems to be okay for snap shots and I would say it is average for phones of this price range.The fingerprint sensor is very good and is unusually placed at the back. The phone is unlocked with your forefinger.Sound is good and it has the normal earphone socket which works well.Any downsides? Unbelievably it really is difficult to find fault. Yes it's a little "chunky", I have found the Android system a little different and am still learning. However I paid £60 for this on an offer which is incredible. Do I want or need anything else? I don't think soOverall an amazing buy and highly recommended.**UPDATE 6 MONTHS LATER**I am still impressed with this little phone. The battery life is holding up well especially as I use it a lot.Just a couple of things that are annoying but acceptable for a phone at this price:1. The camera is poor and I miss the crisp, sharp pictures my OnePlus used to give me. The photos are okay (just) but you have to be patient for lens to focus. In poor light it is hopeless.2. On certain programs (not games) the phone freezes. It does catch up and clears but given this has 3gb of ram, it shouldn't happen. I run an AVG program regularly to clear the cache and stop apps that are running in the background and this helps but does cure the problem. Facebook was the worst but changing to Facebook Lite has cured this issue. Some apps take an age to load while others like Netflix, Amazon etc. all work perfectly well.I would still recommend this phone if you're on a budget. Just be aware of its limitations!
