Blackview XPLORE 1 5G, 120Hz, 55W, Dual Sim, 12GB 256GB, Orange

With a 20000 mAh battery and 55 W charging, a dual-screen setup (a 6.78" 120 Hz front panel and a 2.01" rear one) plus a twin 170 lumen torch, this is a rugged device built for long days and fieldwork, with the emphasis on visibility, endurance and built-in utilities.

Displays and design

The 6.78" 120Hz FHD+ IPS FHD+ panel puts the focus on smoothness and toughness thanks to Gorilla Glass 5; the 2.01" secondary display makes notifications and quick access possible without waking the main screen. Its oversized chassis delivers protection, though it comes at 184×83×29.5 mm and 638 g, figures worth bearing in mind during lengthy tasks.

Performance and connectivity

Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 (6 nm), with 12/256 GB or 16/512 GB configurations and microSD support up to 2 TB, it leaves space for mapping, video and documentation apps. It also brings 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and NFC. The blend of efficiency and fast memory (LPDDR5 + UFS 3.1) supports demanding use.

Cameras and utilities

A 64 MP rear camera plus 20 MP IR night vision and a 50 MP front sensor (Samsung JN1), with 4K@30 video. The dual 170 lm torch adds modes such as SOS, handy for night-time inspections. There is no dedicated ultra wide angle, yet the IR camera handles low light and security scenarios.

Ruggedness and software

IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certifications, with reinforcement elements aimed at shocks, dust and water (seals and frames). It runs DokeOS 4.2 (Android 15) with 3 years of OTA updates, and adds Gloves Mode and IR control. 5W reverse charging lets you power accessories.

Our expert opinion

The Blackview XPLORE 1 brings together 20000 mAh/55 W, a dual screen and a 170 lm torch, a formula aimed at professionals who value autonomy and integrated tools over lightness. Set against the Oukitel WP33 Pro (22,000 mAh, 33 W and 136 dB speaker), it gives up volume and raw capacity in return for faster charging and a second screen; the Oukitel, meanwhile, weighs less and stands out as a "speakerphone". On balance, the XPLORE 1 is positioned for performance/ruggedness, with a size that must be accepted but is offset by sustained battery life, night vision and an ecosystem of features useful in the field.
