It comes with an impressive 165Hz AMOLED display, a 5,000mAh battery, 65W fast charging, a 720Hz touch sampling rate, and one of the best cooling systems that I have ever seen. Black Shark needs to up the ante if it wants to take down either contender. You’re a dedicated gamer With the trigger buttons, and the gaming tweaks to Android, and the big and bright screen, this is very much a device designed for people who play a lot of games on their phones.
- The screen is made of the most advanced E4 luminescent material in the industry.
- When it gets unmanageable, the smartphone will stop charging itself.
- While in general third-party firmware (Custom ROM) has system bugs and stability issues.
We’ve seen this placement before, with phones like the recently reviewed Motorola G Stylus (2022) choosing the physical biometric sensor over the in-display, ultrasonic ones. The benefit of the side-mounted sensor is how easy it is to unlock with your right thumb. But if you’re a left-handed user, you’ll have to stretch your left index finger a little more to get a complete, working scan. Black Shark’s latest entry, as Gen Z would say, is “built different.” The Black Shark 4 Pro looks and feels more like a traditional smartphone than it does a gaming one. Its once jarring and riveting roots have morphed into a more polished and virtuosic approach. Yet, beneath stock ROMs the waters of that calm façade is a device that is ever so capable of chomping through a sea of competing gaming phones. Asus’ latest ROG Phone 6 is like a super deluxe version of a smartphone.
They also stated that as the pioneer of Chinese gaming phones, Black Shark always pays attention to the performance of mobile phones and insists on using the flagship SOC for all products. Instead, the “killer” battery feature for the Black Shark 4 comes via charging. Xiaomi is currently pushing the limits for how fast a smartphone battery can charge, and this innovation has made its way to its gaming phone. The Black Shark 4 is capable of charging at speeds up to 120W, with Xiaomi claiming you can go from 0-100% in “under 17 minutes”. We’ve reached a point in the year where you can really start finding some pretty great deals now that the “latest” processors are nearing their end of life. One great example of this is the Xiaomi Black Shark 4, which is an interesting and intriguing take on a gaming phone.
We have most of the features of MIUI, but also some upgrades for games. In everyday use for the normal tasks of browsing the web and social media, this screen will do just fine. While if you want to upgrade the RAM capacity, there is a 12 + 256 GB version, which is sold for $ 690, which is equal to 10,820 Egyptian pounds, 2588 SAR, 2535 AED. The price of the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro was revealed, which is 615 dollars for the standard version 8 + 256 GB, which is equivalent to 9650 Egyptian pounds, 2305 Saudi riyals, 2260 AED.
Since the phone doesn’t have a cooling vent or any unusual openings, it would have been relatively easy for Xiaomi to incorporate it. Xiaomi’s gaming sub-brand Black Shark has put out a slew of fantastic gaming phones in the past. Adopting the parent company’s eye view, Black Shark phones usually bundle heavy-duty gear with lower mid-range price tags. The Black Shark 4 Pro is a beefed-up version of the regular Black Shark 4, bumping up the key specs of its mega affordable sibling. While yes, the bottom middle is the most obvious and commonplace for the port, charging the phone and gaming at the same time can be very awkward, causing your hand to cramp as you try to hold and play around it.
