Review of Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro


While the number 4 indicates bad luck in Chinese culture, Black Shark has broken with tradition by launching the Black Shark 4 series gaming handsets, which include the Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro.

The two handsets, which will replace the Black Shark 3 and Black Shark 3 Pro, offer a number of features, and the Pro version currently retails for $ 699. In this article, we will review the Black Shark 4 Pro.



Designing

The Black Shark 4 Pro is not very similar in design to the Black Shark 3 series handsets. Weighing in at 220 grams and 9.9 mm thick, this phone is slightly smaller than the previous phones of this company, but it is still one of the heaviest gaming phones on the market.

The Black Shark uses a 6.67-inch Full HD Plus screen, and thanks to the new design of the phone, the screen-to-body ratio has been improved compared to previous Black Shark phones. This product is available in three colors: black, blue and gray.


The design of the back of the phone is similar to X and the Black Shark company logo is engraved in the middle. The body of the phone is also resistant to fingerprints and all three cameras are located at the top. Unlike many gaming phones, the Black Shark 4 Pro uses gaming triggers on the side of the phone. Most gaming phones on the market use touch buttons, but the performance of these buttons is much weaker compared to the Black Shark 4 Pro side triggers.

The Black Shark 4 also features 3 microphones, 2 speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone also uses a fingerprint sensor on the power button. The performance of this sensor is acceptable and has a high response.


accessories

The Black Shark 4 Pro comes with a 120-watt charger, and this charger is very similar in appearance to the charger of other Xiaomi phones. This phone is equipped with a 4,500 mAh battery and can be charged in just 15 minutes.

However, the body of the phone gets very hot while charging. If the phone heats up too much, the system automatically lowers the charging speed and controls the temperature. The phone charger also supports 65 watt PD fast charging and is capable of charging more notebooks.


Black Shark offers a range of accessories called the Black Shark Equipment Box, which includes a mouse, keyboard, back cooling fan and gaming headset. This new cooling fan is equipped with RGB LED lights and you can control its rotation speed and light level through the phone’s Bluetooth connection.

In addition, the Black Shark uses a thermally conductive metal that connects the cooling fan directly to the phone’s cooling chamber, improving the heat reduction process. Black Shark company’s proprietary headset also has a good quality and in addition to a beautiful appearance, it also has a good design. The headset also supports DTS audio technology.


screen

The Black Shark 4 Pro display has a refresh rate of 144 Hz and an operating rate of 720 Hz. The aspect ratio of this screen is 20: 4 and its resolution is 1080 x 2400 pixels. Black Shark uses Samsung E4 panel in this phone and also supports DC light dimming technology.

You can prepare several different color views in the phone settings. The variable refresh rate of the phone also allows you to change it to 60 Hz, 90 Hz and 144 Hz. Using the 90Hz refresh rate in games reduces their latency and at the same time consumes less power compared to the 144Hz rate.

There are also two pressure points on the top and bottom of the phone that you can customize for specific tasks. For example, pressing the top of the screen opens the game map and closes by releasing it.

Black Shark 4 uses the JOUUI 12.5 operating system, which is based on Android 11 and has many MIUI features. This operating system has been improved to play better games.


Function

The Black Shark 4 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 888 processor, high-speed LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 internal storage. Black Shark uses a system called Raid, which combines SSD memory with UFS 3.1 memory and performs the task of writing and reading data simultaneously.

The AndroBench benchmark performed tests on this system, according to which the speed of reading and writing Raid data is much better than UFS 3.1, and this system greatly reduces the loading speed of games. The phone scored 876,166 in the AnTuTu benchmark.

The GeekBench4 benchmark, which monitors CPU performance, gave the phone a score of 5203 for single-core activities and a score of 14840 for multi-core tasks. The performance of the Black Shark 4 Pro processor has increased by 25% compared to the Snapdragon 865 processor. Fortunately, in addition to real-world testing, the Black Shark 4 Pro performs well. The phone runs the game Glory of Kings at 90 frames and this frame rate is reduced to 87 frames after 30 minutes. The temperature of the phone reaches 40 degrees Celsius in the hottest state when playing this game.

The phone also had a great performance in playing Original God. This game initially runs at 60 frames and after a while this rate decreases to 58 frames. However, the temperature of the phone increases to 43 degrees during the game and the use of cooling fan reduces it to 38 degrees. By setting the brightness to 50%, the phone’s 4,500 mAh battery performance was tested. Running each of the Peace Elite, Kings of Glory, Call of Duty, and Original God games for 30 minutes consumed only 54% of the phone’s battery.


Camera

The Black Shark 4 Pro uses a 64-megapixel main camera with a Samsung S5KGW3 lens. The width of each pixel in this camera is 0.7 micrometers and its size is 1.97 inches. This phone also supports HDR video recording in 8K format. The overall image quality of this camera is good and acceptable.

The phone also uses an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera with Sony IMX355 lens. The image quality of this camera is good in low light environments and the phone also supports night mode. The 5-megapixel Black Shark 4 Pro macro camera is also capable of capturing images from a distance of 3 cm, and these images are of normal quality.


Conclusion

Black Shark 4 Pro is an upgraded and of course more expensive version of Black Shark 4. This phone has many features and its performance in playing games is unparalleled. The phone’s 144Hz display brings a great experience, and this great performance is the result of using the flagship Snapdragon 888 processor and the dedicated Raid system. This system has greatly reduced the loading speed of games. The camera of this phone has a normal function, but Black Shark 4 Pro is a gaming phone and the main focus of the company has been on providing a good gaming experience. Fortunately, Black Shark has been successful in this area and has launched one of the best gaming phones of the year.

  • 120 watt charge

What is NFT? And what impact does it have on the human future?

Nothing can make you think like a blast of news about the China Bloc. Even when we all thought we almost knew what was going on, the founder of Twitter sold his autograph tweet as NFT. With all these interpretations, you may be asking yourself: What is NFT now? Well, let’s start with the basics: Non-fungible token. Nothing was clearer True, “irreplaceable” more or less means that these NFTs are unique and cannot be replaced by anything else. For example, bitcoin is flexible – trade one bitcoin with another bitcoin and you will end up with exactly the same thing again. On the other hand, a credit card is completely unique and therefore irreplaceable, and if you trade it with another card, you will have something completely different. How do NFTs work? At the comprehensive level, most NFTs are part of the atrium blockchain. Atrium is an encrypted currency, such as bitcoin or dogecoin, but its blockchain also supports these NFTs and stores additional information that makes them diffe...
