Black Shark’s latest smartphones for gamers are the first to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor and Snapdragon X55 5G modem. But there are a lot of phones with those specs. What truly makes the new
Black Shark 3 and
Black Shark 3 Pro phones stand out are their other features aimed at delivering a high-performance mobile gaming experience.
Here are just a few of those features:
Display: The Black Shark 3 Pro has a 7.1 inch, 3120 x 1440 pixel AMOLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate, while the Black Shark 3 has a 6.7 inch FHD+ 90 Hz AMOLED screen.
Touch response: The phones have a 270 Hz touch response rate for screen touch latency of 24ms.
Dual Battery with 65W fast charging: Each phone has two batteries for faster charging. Black Shark says it takes 12 minutes to get a 50-percent charge for the Black Shark 3 Pro or 38 minutes for a full charge. The Black Shark 3 Pro has a total battery capacity of 5,000 mAh, while the Black Shark 3 has a 4,720 mAh capacity.
Memory and Storage: Both phones use UFS 3.0 storage and LPDDR5 memory.
Liquid Cooling: The company says its 4th-gen liquid cooling system has a “sandwich” structure with cooling pipes on both sides of the system board.
Dual “X” Antenna: The X logo on the back also helps with reception.
Master button: Users can customize these pop-up/retractable shoulder buttons.
Other features include stereo front-facing speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, triple rear cameras (64MP primary + 13MP ultrawide + 5MP depth), and 4 magnetic charging contacts on the back of the phone for 18W charging when the USB port is in use.
