I've been reviewing phones for a long time now, over 17 years to be exact. During that span, I've come across everything you can imagine from the best cheap phones that offer incredible value, all the way to the ultra-premium prices of the best phones around. But every now and then, I come across oddball stuff like the miniscule-sized Palm Phone, or the BlackBerry-esque QWERTY keyboard-equipped Unihertz Titan 2.
Then there’s the latest one I’ve been trying out for the last few weeks, the Blackview Xplore 2, which is arguably the most over-the-top phone I’ve ever come across. Not only does it pack features common in flagship phones, like a 120Hz display refresh rate, but throws in others that might be perceived as novel at first glance — like a built-in projector and night vision camera.
