Yes, Blackview has a history of producing rugged, durable smartphones. Past models like the BV5000 and BV6000 were marketed as waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof, with the BV6000 famously demonstrated to survive a washing machine cycle. These devices often featured large batteries, like the 5,000mAh cell in the BV5000, and IP68 certifications for water and dust resistance, catering to users needing tough phones for outdoor or demanding environments.

Beyond rugged phones and foldables, Blackview also offers standard smartphones and tablets. Recent devices include the Shark 8 smartphone with a MediaTek Helio G99, 120Hz display, and 64MP camera, and the MEGA 1 tablet, which features an 11.5-inch 120Hz display, Helio G99 chipset, and a 50MP rear camera. The brand's product range has expanded from entry-level LTE phones like the BV2000 to more varied form factors and specifications.
