One of the primary reasons that lead Managers to consider a Rugged Smartphone is the durability it can ensure.
For example, if we compare a consumer Smartphone, we can appreciate its design, weight, size and performance. But we have to deal with the endemic weakness of these devices.
The reality is that a consumer smartphone is generally not protected from dust, debris, liquids. They can be damaged after a simple fall, pressure or changes in temperature and humidity. Therefore the Blackview BV5900 is an indestructible smartphone designed according to military standards.
BV5900 is built for enterprise and each key point address the needs of managers and companies. Read on to see howBV5900's Ruggedness, built-in security, long battery life and other features makes BV5900 a sturdy workhorse.
Rugged for Reduced Cost of Ownership
Rugged devices should meet technical standards for durability. BV5900 is IP68 & IP69K certified. This superior IP rating suggests complete protection from dust, drop, water and protection. For example, you could accidentally hose water onto the BV5900 via a steam jet found in construction sites and it will be alright. BV5900 include MIL-STD-810G spec and IP68 certification. These certification are developed by the Department of Defense for military-grade testing. MIL-SPEC defines the survivability of devices under the harshest conditions.
The design also incorporates a two-layer screen that includes Gorilla Glass and an extra safety layer in the form of rubber protection coupled to the chassis. This rubber has a double density to absorb impacts and keep the internal structure intact.
The rugged smartphone represents a next step forward for mobile devices. You can use it anywhere, anytime, anyplace without having to worry. This reduces the total cost of ownership as it reduces repairs and replacements. It also reduces down time and lost productivity due to staff having spoilt devices.
Battery Life to Re-use One Device Across Shifts
Whether it’s on the factory floor or out on a job in the field, battery life is a perennial “most important” criteria for business users of mobile devices. The battery compartment of the Blackview BV5900 can count on a capacity equal to 5580 mAh. Up to 600 hours in Standby mode, up to 18 hours in video reproductions, up to 12 hours in gaming mode, up to 45 hours in audio reproductions, up to 23 hours of telephone communications.
In addition to having a large battery, the Blackview BV5900 allows you to fully recharge the battery in a short 3 hours, thanks to the doubled voltage of 5V/2A.
For companies this means that you can use the phone for 2 shifts with a full charge there after. Being able to share devices will reduce total cost of ownership as less devices need to be purchased.
Security for Enterprise Apps
Every smartphone ought to have built-in security that enhances the work-life balance. Biometric sensors Security is one of the hot topics of technology today. As our phones increasingly contain a lot of sensitive information. For this reason, Blackview has implemented both a biometric facial reader allow you to access your Smartphone in seconds safely and simply.
The Google Play EMM API is available to developers registered for the EMM community and supports the app management requirements for Android’s enterprise solution sets.
Camera for Pictures or Barcode Scanning
Many enterprise apps need pictures as proof of work done or for defect reporting. The 13MP camera allows for clear pictures to be taken in day and dark situations. The auto focus camera allows quick scanning of barcodes for inventory apps thus replacing manual input. Improvements on accuracy and time saved are seen with barcode scanning applications.
Expandable Memory for Picture Storage
Another key feature, BV5900 delivers 3GB internal RAM 32GB ROM plus up to 256GB microSD support (Uses SIM 2 Slot). This makes it suitable for high-intensity data applications and provides expandable computing power while employees are out of the office.
NFC for Attendance, Guard Tour or Inventory Apps
NFC has made its way into Enterprise apps. Examples are for Guard Tour apps where security Guards use it to track their patrols. Another example could be attendance tracking via RFID identity cards.
One of the strengths of NFC is the simplicity of use and great security in transmitting files or data among employees or managers and much more. A simple tap is all it takes to activate the use case.
BV5900 comes with NFC always on to enable these use cases.
Long Term Support from Google
With Google adding more restrictions on non Google Certified devices, it is important for IT Managers to ensure that their devices are google certified. Non Google Certified devices cannot install apps from Google Play Store and also face difficulties with compatibility with Mobile Device Management software.
For long term support, BV5900 is installed with Android 9.0 which is a very recent version of Android. BV5900 is also Google Certified. Google Play Protect Certification consist of baseline protection against malware, privacy hacks, automatic virus scanning and Find My Device.
Balance of Internal Specifications and Price
2.0 GHz CPU, 3GB RAM and 32GB Internal Storage offer the right balance between performance and price. After all, why pay more for higher RAM and Speed that will only show a significant difference for games?
