Black Shark 5 Pro specifications and prices
In terms of design, the front end came with thin edges at the top and bottom with a hole for the front camera… The back comes with a design that gives the appearance of games with the phrase Black Shark Illuminated… On top we find the camera lenses arranged in a triangular shape within a rectangular window. On the side of the phone, we find physical pop-up buttons dedicated to in-game control. In order to deal with the high temperatures, there are two steam chambers to reduce the temperature of the processor. And apparently, there is no official standard for water and dust resistance in the phone. The company has not announced the material of the body surrounding the device, but we expect it to be metal with an aluminum frame as in last year’s version.
We move to the screen, as it is the most important element in the gaming phone… Xiaomi has installed an AMOLED panel, the size is 6.67 inches, its resolution is FHD +, its density is 395 pixels per inch, it supports one billion colors, and it has a refresh rate of 144 Hz.. And the rate of touch response speed is up to 720 Hz, which is A large number and helps to accommodate finger touches at the same time while gaming… The maximum screen brightness is 1300 nits, and it allows it to be used easily under the sun. There are also two ambient light sensors, one in the front and one in the back, that adjust brightness to suit all conditions.
In terms of performance, the Black Shark 5 Pro comes with the first generation Snapdragon 8 processor, the latest leading processor from Qualcomm with a 4nm manufacturing accuracy… with an Adreno 730 graphics processor. This processor is a pioneer in the field of games and has proven high efficiency.. As for memory, the RAM comes with 8 options , 12, or 16 GB with storage capacities of 256 and 512 GB.. What is interesting is that the 512 GB version comes with memory divided equally between the usual SSD and UFS 3.1. This has significantly enhanced the performance of reading and writing memory in the phone. On the other hand, the phone does not support the installation of an external storage chip. The phone runs on the Android 12 operating system, and carries the Xiaomi Joy UI 13 gaming interface.
We come to the cameras, which are the least important in gaming phones… A trio came from the back with a 108-megapixel primary lens… and there is a 13-megapixel wide-angle lens… and the third lens with macro technology to take pictures at a close distance and its accuracy is 5 megapixels. As for the front camera, it came with a single 16-megapixel camera.
The Black Shark 5 Pro features dual stereo speakers matching the top and bottom, and is #1 in the DxOMark audio rating. Unfortunately, the 3.5 mm input to connect the wired headphones has been cancelled. For protection, the fingerprint is on the side of the device and is not integrated at the bottom of the screen. For connectivity, the phone supports the installation of two SIM cards and supports 5G networks.
The phone battery comes with a capacity of 4650 mAh, and supports a high charging speed of 120 watts, as in the previous generation. This speed allows the phone battery to fully charge in just 15 minutes.
The price of the Black Shark 5 Pro starts from $ 660 for a version of 8 GB RAM and 256 memory, and it will be available in black and white colors… The sale will start in China first, and the company will set a date for the global release at a later time.
As for the other releases announced by the company, the Black Shark 5 RS came with a different design from the back, with a Snapdragon 888 or 888 Plus processor, depending on the storage memory version, and a 64-megapixel camera. The price starts at $520. As for the regular Black Shark 5, it came with the lowest specifications among the three devices at the lowest price as well… In terms of design, it resembles the Pro version, and it comes with a Snapdragon 870 processor and a 4650 mAh battery, and the rest of the specifications are identical to the Black Shark 5 RS phone, and its price starts from 425 dollars.
In addition to the phones, the company announced several accessories included to enhance the gaming experience, including headphones, a charger, and a cover with cooling… that can be purchased separately.
