Xiaomi Black Shark 4 smartphone review Mobile gaming with 144 Hz display

That would be  remarkable progress and is faster than the claimed speed of Oppo’s 125W flash charge tech that was announced in summer 2020. Well, now it’s time to visit the nearest Xiaomi Repair Center.

To ensure the above two worst cases do not happen, smartphones keep the temperature at a limit by throttling the processor, screen, and battery. The Black Shark 4 gaming phone will receive a 6.67-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, which will support a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The Black Shark 4 Pro is empowered by Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 888 platform.

• That’s a fraction of the Black Shark 4 Pro’s 720Hz spec, but I’d argue that the tangible difference probably isn’t perceptible to most people.
• Stock Firmware process will affect your Xiaomi Black Shark 4 phone data like images, videos, and files.
• More graphically intensive games like Genshin Impact do stress the phone more and after a few hours, it stock ROMs can still get too hot.
• However, as soon as you switch to 2x zoom (digital), the loss of quality is very noticeable.

There is an insane 720Hz touch sampling rate, too, which Xiaomi claims is the industry’s best on a mobile. Hardcore gamers may want this supposed competitive advantage. Both models include a pressure-sensitive display, too, which should mean that the level of your taps will correspond to different in-game actions/movement. It is not difficult to see that the next generation of Black Shark gaming phone named Black Shark 4, will be the first gaming phone equipped with Snapdragon 888. Earlier, Black Shark officially announced that Black Shark will launch the first batch of new products equipped with Snapdragon 888 in the first quarter of 2021. 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.

Getting into what might put you off, we have to start with the looks. The design of the phone is something of an acquired taste because Black Shark logos adorn the back. The phone is also relatively thick compared with many 2022 flagships.

The lithium polymer (Li-Po) battery is a thin, light-weight, rechargeable battery. No periodic discharge is needed and charging can be done at random. The battery of Black Shark 4 isn’t removable without voiding the warranty. The model runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G chip with a transistor size of 5 nm. With regard to the rest of the daily tasks, the user will not feel any shortcomings, regardless of the size of the application they use.
