But when these switches are activated, two shoulder triggers buttons emerge and snap into place. Against the RedMagic 7 and RedMagic 7 Pro or the Poco F4 GT, the Black Shark 5 Pro has its chances. But I’m thinking that the ROG Phone 6 from Asus will arrive soon, powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor.
- After all, games can be played on regular smartphones for sure but what about buying a huge and high-end gaming phone?
- While the Black Shark gave the flowers a little more saturation than how they look in real life, the picture is good enough to share.
- Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Smartphone is powered by Qualcomm SM8250-AC Snapdragon 870 5G Chipset.
- One of the most prominent problems with the phone is its availability in the markets, as it cannot be purchased in many markets, including Egypt, and is not available in all countries of Europe and the Middle East.
- You should install a provided USB Driver on your computer before the flashing process.
- There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.
Though it’s a niche feature that not even all gamers will use, it’s a handy option for the power users among us. That means that touch input is detected much more quickly than traditional smartphone displays, resulting in lower latency and faster response times – especially crucial when playing competitive online games. There’s no question that the Black Shark 4 Pro is a capable handset, but for how long on a single charge?
- At the core, there’s nothing wrong with the concept of gaming phones.
- Frankly, these triggers are awesome in competitive games, such as mobile shooter Call of Duty.
- The main sensor is a 48MP wide angle that has impressive dynamic range and sharpness that’s typically plagued by underexposure.
- The Qualcomm USB Driver is compatible with the Qualcomm Flash Tool and the Qualcomm IMEI Tool and can be helpful if you are trying to install firmware (ROM) on the device.
I’m reviewing the base version which includes the Qualcomm 870, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. The standard model is equipped with 6GB of stock firmware file RAM, which can be upgraded to 8GB or 12GB. Storage starts at 128GB UFS 3.1, which is very speedy, and can be upgraded to 256GB. It is worth mentioning that it’s not technically the fastest Black Shark, with the follow-up Black Shark 4S range – with a Snapdragon 888 Plus – readily available in China. But, given the delay with the Black Shark 4 Pro, it’ll be a while before that graces UK shores (if ever).
I do recommend topping up a little to get either the magnetic cooler or the previous generation for better thermals. Don’t get me wrong, the Black Shark 4 does well on its own, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. The 4500 mAh battery is charged via the provided 120W charger in the box. At first I thought it was overkill, but considering that the battery was only able to last about a day on a single charge as a gamer, being able to charge back to full under 20 minutes offsets that problem. This however, is proprietary technology, so you can’t just use any 120W charger AND cable. You’re going to have to buy spares if you want easier accessibility.
