There is also a good 120w gan fast charger, a USB-C cable, an OTG adapter and an basic stylus. The tablet also comes with a pre-installed screen guard.

Design and handling

No one is found around it, the active 12 Pro is a demonic device. Its weight itself is 1.5 kg and the metal kickstand brings more than 1.7 kg to the combined total. It is about three times the weight of the iPad Pro 13 (2024) and the thickness of 28.3 mm makes it a full chonkar.

Active 12 Pro is a true rugged tablet

The rigid plastic cover must be more than capable of taking some decline. BlackView is advertising wide drop durability and the device is also certified IP68 and IP69K so that it can definitely handle dust and water subson.

The SIM/microSD card and charging port are sealed with rubber flap that is another strong point if you plan to use this device around fluids.

Display

The active 12 Pro has a 90Hz refresh rate with 11 inch IPS LCD and Gorilla Glass 5 protection of 1,200 x 1,920px resolution. The thick bezel of the panel looks old to many generations. It is not in laminate and vice versa and clarity.

According to our measurement, the maximum brightness manual mode has 627 NITs and 677 NITs in automatic mode, which we have reviewed that sits under the recent crop of tablets.

Active 12 Pro comes with a bundle with a smooth metal kickstand that you combine with four bolts from the back. The adaptable hinge mechanism is smooth and allows you to propose the tablet on different angles (180 °) when doing projecting. It is also an easy way to carry the device.

Another special addition on the back is – 606 Ultra -Bright LED aka camping lights. They become extremely bright on 400 lumen and can turn the darkness of the rooms into a broad daylight. BlackView is advertising it as an ideal way to lighten your camping site and we can see the capacity here.

There is a special toolbag app that lets you control LED with granular brightness control, quick flashing and SOS mode. Interestingly, the proprietary app is the only way to tolerate the camping light.

Projected

The built -in projector is a fixed highlight feature on the active 12 Pro. With a rated brightness output of 200 lumens, a dedicated ultra-short throw (UST) is not going to defeat the projector in terms of performance of the projector delite, but it is still about 100 lumen bright compared to competitive tablets with the underlying projector.

In a dull environment, the projector of the active 12 Pro works solid work and is a great experience to watch a contingent film honestly. Automatic Kestone improves a big job of installing the picture and the autofocus system works very well. You do not really need to do much more than indicating the projector, and it will take care of the rest.

The projector comes with a built -in fan for cooling, which is turned on and closed every few seconds. It is definitely audible when sitting close to the tablet. Talking out the brightness of the projector also reduces the intensity of the fan and is a way to reduce the noise level.

As far as the projection quality is, you can output up to 1080p content and it comes with full widewin L1 support for high-resolution streaming on Netflix. Blackview claims that you can get up to 120 inches (304 cm) projection image, which is very large. In our test, we found a 100 -inch picture from about 2.9 meters away.

Camera

You may be surprised, but the Blackview managed to fit the 108MP main cam using Samsung’s HM6 sensor (1/1.67 “) and 50MP front-facing module (Samsung JN1).

While the number of megapixels is more than what you will normally get from a tablet, the results are not as impressive.

Selfie Camera: 1x • 1080p selfie video screengrab

Main CAM feature limited dynamic range, muded colors and visible over-sharing.

The video has similar disadvantages as you can see in this sample, and the lack of stabilization is also clear. Video recording up to maximum 2K resolution (2,560 x 1,440 px).

Battery life and performance

With a 30,000mAh battery, which promises standby for 112 days and a non-stop launch of 6:45 hours. Tablet ship with a 120W fast charger, which tops the monster cell within two hours.

Active 12 supporters managed 50 h In our web browsing/social network battery life test, which is a stellar performance.

Can stay for projector 7 hours and 55 minutes Local video playback. This is more than enough to watch two full-length films or biping vigor through the entire season of the TV show. It is also worth noting that the launch will not stop until the battery completely eliminates its charge, there is no security measures here.

Moving forward for the performance, active 12 Pro MediaTek’s Demistance is equipped with 7300. It has been paired with 12GB RAM in our review unit, although you can also take a version with 16GB RAM.

The CPU has 4x 2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 core and 4x 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 Corps, while GPU Mali-G615 MC2. SOC is a solid artist and provides the Snapdragon 7 General 3 and slightly lower graphics performance in CPU functions.

conclusion

Blackview Active 12 Pro is not the first rugged tablet with a huge battery and a built -in projector, but this is our first encounter with this type of device. We did not have high expectations to start, but the projector surprised us as it provides a good viewing experience, and its autofocus and auto keystone improvement setups are great in removing trouble.

A large -scale 30,000 mAh battery means that you can use the device for hours and even other gadgets. Camping Light LED can serve as a construction site lamp, and the rugged build can definitely survive in great outdoor.

There are many shortcomings, and the main one has a sheer shape and weight of this thing. It is a large and clunk device with a sub -screen, bad haptix, and we are not sure about regular software updates.

We can certainly see an appeal to be a portable 120 “projector that is also a full -developed Android tablet and a powerbank wrapped in a device. 12/256 GB Trim at € 529.99, active 12 Pro is a media powerhouse that is yet to camp as long as you can cope with its size and weight.
