I love the click of the physical pop-up triggers and the 120W HyperCharge adds the cherry on top. As long as you can live with the mediocre cameras and the abysmal battery life, the Black Shark 4 Pro will serve you well. In terms of specs, you can expect the SD 888+ SoC, 16GB of RAM, a 144Hz AMOLED display with a 360Hz touch response rate, 64MP main cameras, and 65W wired charging. The ROG Phone 5s dominates the battery life segment with its gigantic 6,000mAh battery. On the downside, this heavy-duty beast of burden will cost you about $1,099. The robust hardware delivers marvelously when paired with the phone’s excellent software.

With a 4,500mAh cell and without playing super-intensive games, this phone will easily get you through the day. In our PC Mark Battery testing, it lasted for just over 10 hours, which is honestly just fine. The design is also very nice and the retractable physical triggers have an excellent finish. Add to all these the different modes like Magic Press and all the options for customizing the display, performance and screen sensitivity, and you have a very nice gaming experience. Black Shark has been teasing the 120W fast-charging capabilities of its gaming phone for quite some time. Now, the certification proves that the company isn’t playing with its fans and will really bring a cutting-edge charging tech. This will allow the firmware files phone’s 4,500mAh battery to be filled in under 15 minutes.

Tuned into partnership with DTS and Cirrus Logic Technology, the Black Shark 4 has an awesome mobile sound system for you to enjoy. Whether you’re gaming online or streaming your favorite shows, experience it all in crystal clarity with bold, vivid color.

• It is especially the coating at the back of the Black Shark 5 Pro that I really like.
• Combined with that high 720Hz pressure-sensitive screen, it actually gave me more precision and comfort compared to using an Xbox controller.
• Xiaomi Black Shark 4 is powerful gaming phone that comes with magnetic pop-up triggers and has liquid cooling system.
• Check out the Black Shark website (opens in new tab) for accessories, including a cooling fan, earphones, and more gaming triggers.
• With a 4,500mAh cell and without playing super-intensive games, this phone will easily get you through the day.
• You can make changes not only to flash files/system partitions but also to other partitions such as boot partition or user data.

However, the Black Shark Joy Buds were the stand-out accessory among the bunch. Noise-canceling, low latency, smart, and were sent with a charging case. Like everything else in the Black Shark suite of accessories, they have quick-connect functionality with the phone itself. Their semi-in ear design makes them a breeze to use, especially with the smooth, flat parts that stick out of your ear. If anything, I’d say that the Black Shark 4 Pro’s greatest weakness is its lack of a MicroSD card slot, as I mentioned above. As it stands at release, the phone launched with either 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage or 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
