Affordable entry-level mobiles are a constant growing and we have more and more brands that offer us more than enough models so that, despite not spending several hundred euros on a new mobile, we have one with some features. Pretty good. It is not necessary for our new mobile to be high-end, but we do not want it to be left behind, and the Blackview A90 is postulated as a good choice if we want to renew it.
We thank Blackview for giving us a Blackview A90 model for review

Unboxing
Front image of the Blackview A90 box. Only the brand name is present.
On the back we already have a label with the name of the model and its technical specifications.
We open the box and see the mobile with its protective screen.
Under the mobile are its dock and the official USB C cable with which to charge it or connect it to a PC.
There is no need for the pick to remove the SIM and microSD card tray.

Bottom of the mobile, with its official casing. We see that it has the USB C input, the speaker and the microphone.
To its right we find the power button and the volume control buttons.
Top in which we see a top microphone to help clean up background noise in calls.
The front camera of the Blackview A90, in the upper left corner of the screen. It can be seen that it has a minimal notch.
In the back we find its three different cameras. The official case that comes to us by default has the words ONLY THE BRAVE printed on it, which makes the home customization of putting a photo to personalize our mobile a little more complicated.

Blackview A90 experience and conclusion
We have put the Blackview A90 to the test with two of the elements that people today want on their phones. a portable camera and something to play mobile games. By the characteristics that it brings and comparing them with our article of characteristics that a new mobile should have, it more than fulfills many important characteristics. The battery exceeds 4000 mHa, but it is not close to 5000, but it makes up for it with the low luminance of the screen, something that saves battery but makes it difficult to see in daylight.
With games, we have tested a game that many want to play and it is Genshin Impact, and the result is not ideal. It moves it but it is very slow, so not everything is the 4GB RAM that it has to move demanding games, but with more restrained games like any based on hobbies, it works very well.
On the subject of the camera, it pales a lot with the quality of the sensor. Not everything is the Megapixels, since this only gives us larger photos. With a sensor of not very good quality, it gives us great photos but with a certain blur and a lot of noise for what are the cameras of mobile phones. For photos on social networks, which already compress the images a lot, it serves, but not as a substitute for a camera for a photographic report on a website.
On the design, there are minutiae such as that it does not have a headphone port and that the power and volume buttons are on the right, so right-handers are going to have something complicated to take a screenshot. The Blackview A90 is a fairly good entry-level mobile for its benefits in relation to its price. It is far from being a bad buy or a bad model, but it is hampered by a few small flaws in the physical design and a not very good camera sensor for mobile phones.
- Its price is really adjusted and accessible.
- The benefits are at the level of an entry range today.
- Being from a little-known brand, it will be difficult for us to find support outside the official service.
- There is no headphone port.
- Not ideal for gaming.
- The screen is dim.
