Rugged smartphone maker Blackview has announced the release of an updated version of the BL6000 Pro that comes with Android 11. TechRadar Pro reviewed the Blackview BL6000 Pro back in May and at the time we said it was a "great rugged smartphone, especially for those field workers". The device is also one of the first rugged smartphones to offer 5G connectivity while removing a flap to cover its USB-C port thanks to the inclusion of a new technology called Nano Molding. Now with the addition of Android 11, BL6000 Pro users have access to chat bubbles and an all-in-one notification section that makes it easy to manage conversations. The latest version of Google's mobile operating system also includes unique permissions to prevent apps from accessing your device's microphone, location, and camera to improve security and privacy.
