Xiaomi Black Shark 4

The Black Shark 4 has firmware a single front camera setup that can be used for selfies. It has a 20-megapixel camera equipped with an f/2.0 aperture. Thanks to the thin bezels surrounding the screen and the small hole that houses the front camera, the screen-to-body ratio is greatly improved. The smartphone has a dimension of 163.8 mm long by 76.4 mm wide by 9.9 mm thick.

Photography on such phones is typically mediocre or plain bad. Compared to its peers, the Black Shark 4 Pro does alright in well-lit conditions but suffers in dimmer settings. The setup on the rear consists of a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP wide-angle sensor with a 119° field of view, and a 5MP macro sensor. In broad daylight, you get vibrant pictures with a good amount of detail.

Hardly any phones support the 120W speeds currently, so it’s impressive to see it come to a relatively affordable handset like the Black Shark 4. You have to configure the pop-up physical triggers individually for each mobile game using the Shark Space app. To do so, you start the game and then swipe from the top right corner for a pull-down settings menu. Frankly, these triggers are awesome in competitive games, such as mobile shooter Call of Duty. It’s so much better to shoot or aim down sights using the triggers compared to tapping the screen. Besides gaming, you can also set the triggers to activate a phone function, like the flash light, as well as to open a specific app.

• There are a good number of games that now support 144FPS or uncapped FPS, though many of the more popular titles like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile and PUBG do not.
• An autofocus (or AF) optical system uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus on an automatically or manually selected point or area.
• Consider the Black Shark 4 Pro, which comes with shoulder triggers for a more tactile and responsive gaming experience.
• Black Shark 4 features dual-symmetrical stereo speakers, a high-power amplifier, and an oversized sound cavity for surprisingly-bold audio in games and movies.
• Moreover, modern apps require large RAM usage to run smoothly, making the RAM sector a crucial factor in our matrix calculation score.
• Its basic intention is to create mobile products with the strongest gaming experience.

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 phone’s 4,500mAh battery to be filled in under 15 minutes.

There’s another color version available with the Mirror Black, but that would have surely been a fingerprint magnet. Meanwhile, the Pale Grey offers a matte finish that is comfortable to hold and doesn’t look like it needs to be wiped down constantly.
