Blackview touted its Dimensity 800-powered BL6000 Pro as the "toughest 5G phone in the world" on its launch. Now, it has an upcoming successor, the BL8000, which upgrades to the Dimensity 1200 - MediaTek's new flagship SoC. This could make the impending device a very powerful rugged phone indeed.

Blackview is known for making Android devices of the highly durable variety, a category that typically involves mid-range SoCs at best. However, the OEM has revealed that its upcoming BL8000 is going more premium in that respect. It will debut with the brand-new MediaTek Dimensity 1200, which incorporates ARM Cortex-A78 cores also seen in the Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100.
