Blackview Tab 60 WiFi review
This tablet is for someone building a home media device on a tight budget and never taking it far from Wi-Fi. Anyone else—especially those who travel, need cellular backup, or want snappy performance—will be frustrated by the slow chip, weak charging, and lack of mobile data within months.
This review is written with AI assistance from Blackview’s published specifications and public benchmark data for the Blackview Tab 60 WiFi, and the rating is spec-based. GoSolo does not physically test devices; where we estimate real-world behaviour such as battery life or charge time, we say so. How we rate phones.
Overview
The Blackview Tab 60 is a basic 10.1-inch tablet for home use: Wi-Fi only, slow processor, dull 149-ppi display, and 10W charging make it a rough experience by 2025 standards, but the price is genuinely low and the hardware is adequate for reading, video, and casual browsing at home.
Design & build
At 538 grams and 8.5 mm thick, the Tab 60 is light and slim by tablet standards—easy to hold for extended reading. The Mohs level 5 screen protection (essentially basic tempered glass) offers minimal scratch resistance compared to tougher options, but for a budget device staying mostly at home, it is a reasonable trade. The frame material is not specified, but the overall package feels serviceable rather than durable; drop it and you may regret it, but casual home use should be fine.
Display
The 10.1-inch IPS LCD is the strongest selling point here. At 149 ppi, text and icons are clear enough at normal reading distance—books and web pages won't feel fuzzy. But there is no dodging the resolution gap: photos and detailed graphics look noticeably softer compared to tablets with 200+ ppi in the same size. Colour accuracy and viewing angles are adequate for the price, not impressive. If you are mainly reading or watching streaming video, the display does its job. If you expect photo editing or detailed design work, you will notice the limitation.
Performance
The AllWinner A523 with Mali-G57 GPU is honest entry-level silicon. Light tasks—web browsing, video playback, email, reading—run without stutter. Switching between a few apps feels responsive. The moment you load demanding games, open a dozen tabs, or try video editing, the tablet will slow down noticeably. The 4 GB of RAM compounds this: multitasking beyond three or four active apps will force the system to kill background processes. For a €90 device, this is expected, but it means this tablet is best used for one task at a time.
Software
Android 14 with Doke OS_P 4.0 overlay. Doke is Blackview's custom skin, emphasizing privacy and simplicity. It is not bloated, which is good, but it also means fewer features than stock Android and limited third-party customization. Updates are a question mark; Blackview's track record for long-term support is mixed. You get the OS for 2 to 3 years of security patches, likely, but do not expect a major version bump.
Camera
The 8 MP rear camera and 5 MP selfie are functional for casual use. The rear camera works for scanning documents, capturing whiteboards, or taking photos in good light; in low light it struggles. 1080p video at 30 fps is smooth but dated—most rivals have moved to at least 1440p. The front camera handles video calls adequately. Neither camera is a reason to buy or avoid this tablet; they are tools you will use rarely.
Battery & charging
The 5100 mAh battery yields about 8 to 10 hours of mixed use (browsing, video, reading), falling to 6 to 7 hours under continuous heavy load. That is respectable for a device this size and performance tier. The weakness is 10W charging: a full charge from empty takes 3 to 4 hours. By 2025 standards, even budget tablets often include 18W or higher. If you need the tablet during the day, plan to charge overnight or accept frequent low-battery warnings.
Value & verdict-context
At around €90, this is not a bargain—it is the price floor. You are paying for screen size and Wi-Fi 6, not performance or refinement. In the same market, €50 more buys Android tablets with faster chipsets, sharper displays, and quicker charging. For a buyer who has no choice but budget and wants a large screen strictly for home use (reading, YouTube, casual browsing), the Tab 60 makes sense. Anyone who can stretch the budget or needs portability, responsiveness, or cellular connectivity should look elsewhere. The lack of a cellular option limits use outside home Wi-Fi, which is a real handicap in regions where mobile data is the primary internet access.
Verdict
This tablet is for someone building a home media device on a tight budget and never taking it far from Wi-Fi. Anyone else—especially those who travel, need cellular backup, or want snappy performance—will be frustrated by the slow chip, weak charging, and lack of mobile data within months.
- 10.1-inch screen is genuinely large for the price, useful for reading and video at home
- Wi-Fi 6 support means fast wireless speeds where it matters
- Dedicated microSDXC slot lets you expand storage without sacrificing the SIM tray (not that it matters here—there is no cellular)
- Stereo speakers and headphone jack are rare finds on budget tablets now
- AllWinner A523 is entry-level even for budget tablets; demanding apps and multitasking will lag noticeably
- 149 ppi at 10.1 inches means text is crisp but photos and fine detail look pixelated next to tablets with 200+ ppi at this size
- 10W charging is slow—a full charge takes 3 to 4 hours, making midday top-ups awkward
