Η Black Shark officially presented today in China, the new generation of Gaming smartphone of the company by name Black Shark 5, which includes three models with different Qualcomm SoC.
Η new series of Gaming Smartphones - Black Shark 5, officially released today in China, and this series includes 3 different models. One with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC , one with 888+ and one with Qualcomm 870 SoC.
Black Shark 5 Pro
The Black Shark 5 Pro is the top model of the new series and is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. The SoC and the appliance as a whole are kept cool by a large cooling system consisting of two steam chambers (VC), one on each side of the phone, covering the whole 4.323 mm² + 997 mm² from the area of the device.
The SoC is combined with up to 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, but there is more to it than that.
Storage is evenly distributed between two different storage media, ie through a NVMe SSDs and the usual UFS 3.1 (that is 256 + 256 GB in the model of 512 GB). Using the so-called technology DM Cache, the Black Shark managed to significantly improve performance at random read and write speeds (random read and write). Also, fast RAM is type L (in 6.400 Mbps), and can be used to create virtual RAM disk for cases where additional faster storage is required.
The phone is powered by a high performance battery that has a capacity of 4.650 mAh and supports the fast charge at 120 W. According to the company, charging from 0 - 100% can be achieved in just 15 minutes, but there is also a special temperature control function, which slows down the charging of the battery to protect it from overheating, slowing down the total charge from 15 to 24 minutes.
At the same time, when playing games, the phone has its option battery bypass when the charger is connected to the device.
The Black Shark 5 Pro is equipped with one 6,67 inch AMOLED screen with panels in 10 bit, which supports the HDR10 + and the color range DCI-P3. There are two ambient light sensors (one on the front and one on the back of the device), so that the brightness can be adjusted automatically to perfectly match the lighting conditions in the room.
This screen has refresh rate up to 144 Hz and touch sampling rate at 720 Hz, while of course it also supports simultaneous touch for multiple fingers. In addition, there is a special magnetic shoulder button (magnetic shoulder button) that pops up on the side of the phone and uses a microswitch for gaming.
The phone has two symmetrical speakers with volume air cavities at 1,5 cc, and based on the evaluation of the device in the field of audio by DxOMark, The Black Shark 5 Pro is currently the top phone in the ranking gathering 86 pointss in the standings, surpassing its predecessors by 5 points.
The device is also equipped with an X-axis linear motor, which offers better tactile feedback. It also has overall four microphones, which are placed on each of the four sides of the phone, so that the device can always receive your voice clearly.
