This Blackview Tab 18, with an octa-core processor, 12GB of RAM, and a huge battery, is just the thing for me.
I love my iPad Pro, but Apple’s 12.9-inch behemoth is not cheap. Folks looking for a cheaper but comparably sized alternative have to turn to Android.
Unfortunately, I’ve found most large Android tablets are bulky and cumbersome. So, it’s refreshing to find something at last that’s sleek, pleasantly designed, and a pleasure to hold — even for extended periods.
The Blackview Tab 18 ticks all these boxes and more.
The first thing I noticed about this tablet is how thin and light it feels.
At 0.3-inch/7.9mm thin and weighing 1.4lb/632g, this device is a bit thicker and slightly lighter than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but for a budget Android tablet, it’s a breath of fresh air not to be holding a tablet that feels like it’s made of concrete.

Sure, I’d have this tablet in a case to protect it from accidents caused by carelessness and gravity, making it just as bulky as my iPad Pro, but it’s nice to see a thin and light Android tablet.
It’s also a sleek and smooth tablet with glass and metal flowing into each other to create something stunning to look at and practical to use. The Space Gray finish on my Tab 18 was flawless and did a good job of resisting scratches, wear, and even fingerprints.
Speaking of fingerprints, the Tab 18 features a fingerprint reader and face recognition biometrics, giving you options for easily logging into the tablet.
The 12-inch display is also a breath of fresh air. It’s big enough to get real work done, sharp enough to make extended reading or video viewing sessions comfortable, and bright enough to be viewable under various conditions.
