Time to draw the conclusions after we have taken a detailed look at the Breeze smartphone; this model was mainly built for people with lower budgets, which do not have enough to invest in higher-specced models and Blackview has picked one of the mainstream SoCs (MT6582) of 2013 to equip it, which now also has sources for building Android 5.0 distributions. As a matter of fact, one Lollipop distribution is already available at NeedRom, but we have been told that a final version should be available at the end of this month.

The smartphone is quite easy to fit into the pocket since it incorporates a 4.5’’ display; on the back of the device we can see a similar design with the OnePlus One flagship and here resides the 5MP shooter too. With the firmware which was preloaded onto our sample, the camera was not able to provide good quality shots, but we hope that this will change, even a little bit after the upgrade to the Android 5.0 OS (official).

Update! Our sample does not seem to be the final build as we have been communicated by the manufacturer; this one comes with a 0.5MP sensor for the front and one 2MP sensor for the back, while the final design will come with a 2MP shooter for the front and 5MP shooter for the back. This completely explains the low quality photos.

The GPS accuracy is similar to the other MT6582 builds from MediaTek, with relatively fast lock-on but we would not recommend it for tracking applications like Runtastic or Runkeeper.

Breeze comes with one 2000mAh battery which should allow us up to one day of normal usage. Here is also a test result from AnTuTus’ Battery Test suite:

The smartphone can be picked up for as low as $70 with coupon (GBBVB on GearBest,EBV2 on Everbuying) , which should make it an interesting buy in its final form.
