Blackview A5 coming this month but we would buy the A8

Blackview have just listed the new Blackview A5 over on their website, but looking at the specs and pricing we would just buy the A8.

Blackview announced their Blackview A8 at MWC and just started to ship the phone (for around $50) with a metal body, HD display and the same 8 mega-pixel camera as the iPhone 5S, which makes news of the Blackview A8 difficult to comprehend.

The A5, listed on the Blackview Website today, will feature just a 480 x 854 resolution display, a 5 mega-pixel main camera and a plastic body, for $45! Its an odd move buy Blackview and one we can’t quite comprehend.

Other features of the Blackview A5 include a 2000mAh battery, Mediatek MT6580 chipset, and no LTE support.

Apparently Blackview will have a social launch price for the A5, but at it’s RRP of $44.99, we would just suggest paying the extra couple of $ and buy the A8 instead.
