Is the 12 GB RAM real?

Mostly not. The phone has a small physical RAM pool and extends it with virtual memory from storage, which is slower than real RAM.

No. It is a 4G phone, so check that your carrier's 4G coverage is good in your area.

Can I expand the storage?

Yes. It has 64 GB built in and takes a microSD card, which is useful for photos and media.

Is it good for gaming?

No. The Unisoc processor and 720p LCD are entry-level, so expect low settings and frame drops on demanding games.

Will it work with my carrier?

It is unlocked and takes a nano-SIM, so it should work with most GSM carriers. Confirm band support with your carrier before buying.

What comes in the box?

Typically the phone, a charger, a USB cable and a SIM tool. A case and screen protector are not always included.

Our take on the Blackview Wave 9C 64GB Unlocked Cell Phone

The Blackview Wave 9C is a budget unlocked Android phone with a 6.56-inch 720p LCD, a 5000 mAh battery and 64 GB of storage. Its headline claim is 12 GB of RAM, but most of that is virtual memory extended from storage, not physical RAM. The 16 MP rear and 8 MP front cameras and the Unisoc chip are basic, in line with other entry-level phones. It suits light users who want a large screen and long battery life, not gamers or photo enthusiasts.

What people mention

BatteryPraisedThe 5000 mAh cell is the part buyers are happiest with, lasting a full day of light use.
DisplayMixedThe screen is big, but the 720p resolution looks soft compared with 1080p phones.
CameraCriticisedThe 16 MP rear camera is described as basic, with weak low-light shots.
MemoryMixedBuyers note the 12 GB RAM figure includes virtual memory, so real multitasking is more limited.
