The problem is that the Simo app is preinstalled and cannot be removed. This means that the Blackview Tab 13 can be used abroad without WLAN and roaming charges, and it can even be used as a WLAN hotspot, provided that the corresponding tariff from Simo is available. In return, the reception is quite decent indoors and there is even a phone function.Īctually, a great idea is that Blackview cooperates with the company Simo, which offers international mobile rates. WiFi 5 is of course on board, and the Blackview Tab 13 even achieves slightly faster transfer rates compared to other tablets in the price range.īesides that, the pad is even a mobile-capable device, but too many LTE frequencies are not supported.

Three restrained colors are available: soft blue, gray, and silver. Like most tablets in its price range, the Blackview tablet also comes with a metal casing.

They are well chosen so that you can hold the tablet in your hand without accidentally triggering the touchscreen and the Tab 13 still has a modern look. The manufacturer has designed the edges on the front to be equally wide on all sides. The weight of 450 grams is within the usual range, and the dimensions are compact. Instead, it has a slightly smaller 10.1-inch screen compared to the competition. The Blackview Tab 13 does not have a huge 13-inch screen, as one might assume from the name.
