Blackview BV9800 weighted dummy

thingiverse

I've had my eye on the BV9800 for a while, and I'm really enjoying its features. However, I have to admit that the size and weight of this phone are a bit overwhelming, especially when compared to my trusty Sony Z5 Compact. To get a better feel for what it's like to carry around, I decided to create a mockup using 10 AA batteries. I managed to get the dummy close to the actual weight of the BV9800, which is roughly 320 grams. That was good enough for me. To make the battery pack more comfortable to hold, I inserted some paper shims to reduce the rattling sound. Then, I wrapped everything in clear packing tape to keep it secure. If you're wondering what might make a phone with a weight of almost 1/3 kilo so appealing to me, check out the BV9800's specs at https://www.blackview.hk/bv9800/.
