Blackview BV9800 Pro - €419.99 on AliExpress
This hot-seeking smartphone from Blackview won the coveted editor's choice award in December 2019, and for good reason. It combines a FLIR Lepton thermal sensor with an advantageous price point and a host of other desirable features to get you started. If there's one smartphone feature that captures everyone's imagination, it's a thermal camera. Now available on Cat S60 and Cat S61, this feature allows you to generate a color-coded image based on nearby heat sources. Until recently, thermal imaging cameras were only available as stand-alone products (usually courtesy of FLIR) or on smartphones that weren't cutting-edge or low-cost. Blackview changed all that with the BV9800 Pro (winner of our coveted Editor's Choice award for December 2019), which combines a FLIR Lepton thermal sensor with a great price. The device is currently on sale for €419.99 (£344 / AU$704) on the official Blackview store on AliExpress, with free shipping worldwide. The camera uses Sony's 586-megapixel IMX48 sensor, the same sensor used in the Honor 20 Pro and OnePlus 7T. The device also packs a 6.3-inch FHD+ display, a large 6.58 Ah battery, 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of built-in memory, an 70-core Mediatek P8 SOC, and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera.

Keep in the spirit... If this product is from mainland China, it will take at least a month to get to the US or UK (and potentially longer). You may be charged a tax directly or by mail. Have you managed to get a cheaper product with equivalent specifications, in stock and new? Let us know and we'll have you our hat. There's no VOC sensor, but it does have Android 9 Pie, IP69/Mil-STD-810G certification, wireless charging, air pressure detection, and face/face unlock. fingerprints
