Blackview Nepal — Blackview smartphones in Nepal

Blackview is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer which has made its debut in Nepal at CAN Infotech 2017. It’s the first time we’ve heard of the brand and during the show, we got a hands-on of few of their phones as well, which are really decent for the price. As of now, four Blackview products are showcased in the show, namely: E7S, A8, BV6000S, BV5000 and A5. Being a Chinese product, some of these products resemble other Chinese products which are not that bad. Some of the names sound pretty similar because we already have A8 and A5 on Samsung series of smartphones. But unlike the Samsung phones, these are your basic but strange looking smartphones.

Blackview phones have been launched in Nepal via Pearl business Group Pvt. Ltd. They are also the authorized distributor of Diamond Mobiles.
