Black Shark 4 Pro Review: A Powerhouse in Your Pocket

There’s another color version available with the Mirror Black, but that would have surely been a fingerprint magnet. Meanwhile, the Pale Grey offers a matte finish that is comfortable to hold and doesn’t look like it needs to be wiped down constantly.

Hardly any phones support the 120W speeds currently, so it’s impressive to see it come to a relatively affordable handset like the Black Shark 4. You have to configure the pop-up physical triggers individually for each mobile game using the Shark Space app. To do so, you start the game and then swipe from the top right corner for a pull-down settings menu. Frankly, these triggers are awesome in competitive games, such as mobile shooter Call of Duty. It’s so much better to shoot or aim down sights using the triggers compared to tapping the screen. Besides gaming, you can also set the triggers to activate a phone function, like the flash light, as well as to open a specific app.

• You get the plug in the box and you can juice this phone back up to 100% in just 18 minutes in my testing.
• It’s important to use only firmware flash files that are specifically designed for your device, as using an incompatible firmware flash file can result in serious problems, such as bricking the device (making it unusable).
• No periodic discharge is needed and charging can be done at random.

With a 4,500mAh cell and without playing super-intensive games, this phone will easily get you through the day. In our PC Mark Battery testing, it lasted for just over 10 hours, which is honestly just fine. The design is also very nice and the retractable physical triggers have an excellent finish. Add to all these the different modes like Magic Press and all the options for customizing the display, performance and screen sensitivity, and you have a very nice gaming experience. Black Shark has been teasing the 120W fast-charging capabilities of its gaming phone for quite some time. Now, the certification proves that the company isn’t playing with its fans and will really bring a cutting-edge charging tech. This will allow the phone’s 4,500mAh battery to be filled in under 15 minutes.

• You may upgrade or downgrade the Android firmware with flashing.
• Android flash files are files that are added to the system or completely replace the system.
• The 8MP ultrawide does a decent job correction distortion but occasionally hits off the wrong white balance and goes towards the green side of things.

The Black Shark 4 has a single front camera setup that can be used for selfies. It has a 20-megapixel camera equipped with an f/2.0 aperture. Thanks to the thin bezels surrounding the screen and the small hole that houses the front camera, the screen-to-body ratio is greatly improved. The smartphone has a dimension of 163.8 mm Stock Firmware long by 76.4 mm wide by 9.9 mm thick.
