In tribute to the classics, Blackview, a pioneering manufacturer with a decade of expertise in rugged phone research and development, proudly presents the Blackview N6000.

For durability, its drop-resistant and water-resistant performance is vastly superior to alternative rugged phones.

For functionality, it packs a 6nm Octa-core MediaTek Helio G99 with 16GB RAM and 256GB ROM.

Top in Durability: Ruggedness

-Mighty Small but Seriously Tough

Differing from all the other rugged alternatives, the mini rugged phone is very rugged, but compact. To meet the demand for one-handed operation,  Blackview N6000 has a width of only 4.3 inches. That is equivalent to an ordinary computer mouse according to rumors. Even individuals with small hands like kids and women can easily operate it single-handedly. Though the size of the phone is relatively small, the font on the device is large. Making it convenient for older users to operate and read.

To cater to the need for convenient portability, Blackview N6000  is likely to weigh only 208 grams. So it is just as light as a regular wallet. Whether it’s children putting it in their pockets to go to school, women carrying it in their handbags while shopping, or outdoor sports enthusiasts carrying it in wristband phone holders while cycling, hiking, or mountaineering. Its lightweight design does not burden the users.

How to address the issue of fragile screens ? Just like any other flagship rugged phone, Blackview N6000 features rubber edges equipped with metal inserts and visible screws. And its thickness of 18.44 millimeters is twice as thick as regular smartphones, ensuring its robustness. Additionally, the QHD+ screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 to offer 2x scratch resistance with a 100,000 times wear-proof lineation test. So there will be no problem cracking it in multiple face-down drops to concrete. In addition to meeting the military-grade specifications of MIL-STD-810H for drop-proof and IP68 & IP69K ratings for waterproof, Blackview N6000  is told to excel in drop-resistance due to its smaller force area, when compared to other regular rugged phones.

If the rumors are true, it will be able to withstand up to 5M Death-broke & 60M Throw-proofness &15M Water-proofness for 30 mins&20000Kg Weight-bearing capacity. Whether it’s the older ones or kids accidentally dropping the phone, it will remain unharmed. There is no need not worry about screen breakage for cycling enthusiasts if their phone accidentally falls during their ride.

Top in Durability: Solid-state Battery

-Extreme Solid Battery with Higher Energy Density 

Besides the lower battery consumption due to its smaller screens, Blackview N6000 has put more effort into its battery. For those who are more demanding in battery performance like construction workers, marathon runners, or cyclists, its solid-state battery makes it more durable with higher energy density and safer without flammable components. Whether it’s outdoor enthusiasts scrolling through Facebook in near-freezing conditions or construction workers texting on the surface of the sun, the solid-state battery seems to remain stable even in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 80°C. Despite having a battery capacity of only 3880mAh, Blackview N6000, aided by its high energy density of solid-state battery and lower battery consumption of a smaller screen, can provide an impressive standby time of up to 18 days. Which is sufficient for several days of moderate usage.
