  • It has a 5.7-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, offering an 18:9 aspect ratio and a pixel density of approximately 282 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6737VWH chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and 2GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.

  • The battery capacity is 4180 mAh, providing decent longevity, but it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • The device runs on Android 7.0 Nougat, which may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and USB Type-C 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone is available in black, gold, and silver colors, but lacks water resistance.
  • Overall, the Blackview S6 is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for everyday use.
