Unexpected quality at a great price
Advantages: Just opened the package containing the Blackview A7 that I ordered from Gearbest. The phone comes with a transparent protection cover and is pre-equipped with a screen protector. The charger and cable are robust. The specs of the phone are nearly identical to my old HTC One, except for the rom, for which I added a 32GB TF card. The phone starts up quickly and is equipped with Android 7. When I started it for the first time it immediately reported an available update with bugfixes. It feels solid and robust. The back cover can quite easily be opened, but I do not get a plastic-y impression. The reason I ordered this phone is for use as a gaming device for my son (in stead of my own phone :) ) and it is perfect for that. The screen is responsive. The screen resolution is good, detailed enough for its purpose. Reaction times are good, the quad core CPU handles most games and video quite well. Basically an amazing device for the money I spent on it.
Limitations: So far no cons. Of course I just opened the box and set up the device, which is android, so no surprises there. If any cons develop I will update this.
