Blackview Mega 8: A New Tablet for Streaming and AI
Blackview, possibly a brand you'll be hearing more about, just launched a new tablet, and it's a doozy – the Mega 8. You might be interested in it if you're looking for a tablet that's primarily aimed at getting cozy with your favorite streaming services. Additionally, it features some AI capabilities and four speakers to enhance the immersion factor.
Mega 8: A Look at What's Under Its Hood
Let's see what powers this tablet. Blackview is waving its AI capabilities, with apps like Doke AI that apparently tap into services like ChatGPT to help you construct knowledge. That's a pleasant touch for a media-centric device.
Now, if you're eagerly awaiting a gaming beast, the Mega 8 is a steady player. It runs on the Unisoc Tiger T620 chip, which is geared towards general tasks and not hardcore processing. To ensure smooth performance, it has ample 12GB of RAM, and storage capacity for apps and files is either 256GB or 512GB.
A Display Made for Binging
The real star of the show here is the screen. The Mega 8 boasts a massive 13-inch screen with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. This should be good for viewing content from Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney Plus as a treat. Good news for streamers – it also has Widevine L1 certification, so you can view your shows in high definition. IPS screen features a 90Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and almost 82% screen-to-body ratio, which means more screen and less bezel.
Connectivity and Other Benefits
This large Android tablet also has dual SIM capability, which is convenient. But a word of warning: you won't be able to use two SIM cards and a microSD card for storage expansion simultaneously – it's either/or. Software-wise, it comes with Blackview's own Doke OS, which is built on Android 15.
Considering its size, the tablet is around 26 ounces and 0.3 inches thick. To take pictures, there's a 50MP back camera and a 13MP front camera for video calls. To energize it all, there's a large 11,000mAh battery, which can be charged up to 18 watts. And for sound. The four internal speakers are claimed to offer a good sound experience. It even has GPS, Glonass, Beidou, and Galileo support, so it can be utilized as a navigation tool if needed.
Price Point
Blackview Mega 8 is already available with a price of around $286.
