This is Blackview’s A96, the direct successor to the A95 released back in 2022. Blackview decided to overhaul the design of the A96, making the device comparable to an Apple iPhone, but with a dotted notch. Instead of sharp edges, the A96 has rounded edges, similar to the look of an iPhone.

It comes in a compact 6.5-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh, and it is powered by the Helio G99 CPU from MediaTek. The Blackview A96 comes with three camera lenses on the rear, of which the main snapper is a 48-megapixel Samsung GM2 image sensor, while a single 16-megapixel selfie shooter is used on the front.

You are also getting dual stereo speakers that are tuned by Harman Kardon, a 4380mAh battery with an 18W fast charger, and Google’s Android 13 with Doke OS 3.1 out of the box. It is available in Provence Purple and Obsidian Black color, while Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and sided fingerprint scanner come standard.
