In everyday use, I was able to run the game Apex Legends Mobile at a constant 60 FPS with graphics and framerate set to 4 out of 5. Apex Legends is a not very well optimized game, so it is very resource intensive. But with the Black Shark 5 Pro, the experience was much smoother than on my OnePlus 10 Pro, for example. The switches that you have to slide to pull the triggers are so smooth, I had a hard time restraining myself from playing with them like with a fidget spinner. The design is clearly gaming oriented, while silkscreens at the back remind me a bit of the Pioneer here plate. In short, Black Shark seems ready to break new records with its next Black Shark 4 , starting with its battery and who knows … Probably with other features that we will discover in the coming days.
Everything we did on the phone, from loading up menus to switching between apps, was fluid and smooth. The main selling point of this handset is gaming of course, so we did fear that the camera system would be something of an afterthought for Xiaomi. While it’s not the best specced camera setup we’ve ever seen, we’re pleased to report that it’s more than an afterthought, and most of the time you’re going to get decent results from this. The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro comes equipped with a triple-lens camera on the back made up of a 64MP wide camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 5MP macro camera.
- Yes, there are newer components offering faster speeds, but you’re getting a good price-to-performance ratio here and while it can get hot under intense use, no temperature spikes hamper the speed of this phone at all.
- While in general third-party firmware (Custom ROM) has system bugs and stability issues.
- We consider how many camera lenses are available on the device, how good the main camera features are for both rear and front cameras, and how good the camera can be used for recording video.
- No periodic discharge is needed and charging can be done at random.
- The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 is equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 with 8GB/12GB of RAM, and best-in-class thermal design.
This means that this smartphone will arrive in the market pretty soon. Presently, the Black Shark 4 already has a network license and other certifications. There is also a Pro model of this device which also has a network license. According to reports, the Black Shark 4 will come with the Snapdragon 870 SoC.
