With its growing portfolio of tried and tested smartphone models, Blackview is once again expanding its portfolio with the company's newest addition: the Blackview R6.

The Chinese smartphone manufacturer is one of those small market players that are garnering a lot of interest for their smart combination of high-end specs and hardware with affordable price tags.

The last model that Blackview released was the BV6000, and the phone was widely praised for its ruggedness that will instantly appeal to outdoorspeople. On the other hand, the Blackview R6 is intended to look more like a conventional phone rather than a robust and rugged piece of hardware.

The demand for rugged phones is surging, but it is safe to conclude that this specific market segment cannot rival the demand for conventional phones. This is the market that Blackview wants to capitalize on with the launch of the R6 model.

According to Giz China, Blackview has only released a handful of photos of the R6, and not the entire specs list. Although many in the tech community are expecting the company to release this list within the coming days.

Based on the released images, the upcoming device will not sport any physical buttons. The three main buttons on the phone's lower front panel are all capacitive. On the rear panel of the phone is where the fingerprint scanner is embedded, right below the camera sensor.

The Blackview new R6 phone is said to sport a 5.5-inch display with Full HD resolution and to run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
