Performance hopes were given a boost recently when GSMArena posted a report that a Black Shark 4 prototype had just attained the highest benchmark scores on AuTuTu, clocking up 788,505 points. As of 28 April, the regular model is available to pre-order from the Black Shark website. That’s ahead of the device going on sale in the UK and Europe from 6 May. Nothing has been revealed with regards to a global launch of the Black Shark 4 Pro – that may never materialise.
- I did a double-take when I noticed that the software includes a mention of Shark Chan’s bust, waist, and hip measurements, as if I’m playing a dating sim.
- If you are looking for a device with specific features, it is best to look at the score for that particular segmentation to make an informed decision.
- It helps that the display can ramp up to 144Hz, with options to tone down the smoothness to 120Hz, 90Hz, and 60Hz.
In short, these triggers are perfect if you like having more buttons on your phone. Enhancing the gaming experience are the Black Shark’s stereo speakers, which are perfectly aligned at the top and bottom edge. Images are sharp for outdoor scenes, though the shadows look darker than expected. Besides, the main appeal of the Black Shark is gaming performance. And it here doesn’t disappoint here, with the phone handling mobile games at the highest settings with aplomb. Gameplay was fluid in Call of Duty and Real Racing 3, especially the latter, which supports 120fps.
- Of course, as a gaming phone, the new Black Shark 4 is bound to bring new upgrades.
- However, the image becomes a bit pixelated in only one lux of brightness, but colors and the image content can still be recognized in general.
- On the other hand, I noticed a serious overheating problem on 3DMark’s Wild Life Stress Test benchmark, which simulates gaming usage for 20 minutes.
- 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.
Also, the screen-To-Body ratio is about 85.8% while the pixel density is ~395 PPI. It is however powered by a Li-Po 4500 mAh non-removable battery.
It really is an impressive feat of engineering, and that translates to a high-end mobile gaming experience devoid of freezing or lag.

The FHD+ (1080 x 2400) display measures in at an impressive 6.67in, with E4 AMOLED tech providing a vivid, bright and detailed visual experience perfect for mobile gaming and movie watching alike. Lastly, the most notable design switch-up from last year’s Black Shark 4 is the use of a frosted matte backing.
