Durable Budget Phones

The Blackview A8 Max Offers Great Features Considering Its $80 Price

— October 7, 2016 — Tech
While it's always the fanciest, high-end big-brand smartphones that get all the attention these days, the fact of the matter is that a lot of people still rely on companies being able to invent high-quality budget phones that offer all the fundamental features as well as some bonuses for a lower price. The Blackview A8 Max is a device that is purpose-built for this market segment, although its 720p HD display, 13-megapixel camera and microSD card slot are among the features that you wouldn't normally enjoy at this price range.

Priced at only $80, the Blackview A8 Max makes use of the Android 6.0 operating system, allowing you to enjoy some motion and gesture control functionality.

If you're in the market for a budget phone, you'd be hard-pressed to find better value than the $80 Blackview A8 Max.
