With Black Shark’s latest release of the Black Shark 4, they’ve got a couple of tricks to fix all that, the two biggest being, a highly responsive touchscreen, and physical buttons. There’s also Bluetooth 5.0 for connecting headphones, controllers and other accessories, and there’s NFC for digital payments too. Also on the side of the 4 Pro is a fingerprint sensor that doubles as a power button.
On a positive note, I love the size of the Black Shark 4 Pro as it fits perfectly in one hand. Detail-oriented folks may have a bone to pick with the camera bump as it is a hub for collecting dust particles, while the back is basically fingerprint city. You’ll find the fingerprint sensor along the side of the phone, doubling as the power button. It is extremely responsive to the point that I accidentally unlock the firmware files Black Shark 4 Pro while setting it down. It takes just the right mix of ingredients to create a delectable Android phone that hits the nail right on the head. I spent about two weeks with the enticing Black Shark 4 Pro, using it as my primary device every day. Based on my experience, here’s what I think of this gaming phone.
- The internal memory of Xiaomi Black Shark 4 (6 GB) cannot be expanded.
- Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro camera setup includes 64 MP Triple rear camera and 20 MP selfie camera.
- The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro USB Driver is 100% free since the Xiaomi community officially releases it for Xiaomi Mobile users.
- If you ignore the recommendations, your smartphone will last far less time than you want it to.
- You can add all your games on there for easier management and optimization.
- The body of phone is made out front glass, back glass and aluminium frame.
So the differences between the duo of gaming phones will be mostly incremental. Both Black Shark 4 smartphones come with three rear camera modules. The Pro version has a 64MP primary sensor, which the non-Pro variant replaces with a 48MP counterpart. It is accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 5MP macro lens. At the front, we get a 20MP module for selfies and video calls.
Pick up a flagship Xiaomi phone and the cameras are likely to be some of the best features of the handset. That’s not quite the case here, but the rear camera still does a reasonable job in most lighting situations. The night mode is pretty competent at illuminating very dark scenes, but it doesn’t beat the capabilities of some top phones in its market.
