Don’t Be Afraid of Black Shark’s New Gaming Phones

Black Shark has announced (and launched) its latest flagship smartphone series – the Black Shark 5 and 5 Pro, two models focused on video game performance.

new Black Shark 5 series It sports a sleeker design than the previous Black Shark model, has received several upgrades, and claims to have a cooling system that defies physics. Well, it doesn’t actually violate Newton’s laws, but Black Shark says the anti-gravity dual VC system in the 5 Pro increases fluid circulation for better, more consistent performance.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 5G mobile platform can also be found in the Black Shark 5 Pro, which is said to take full advantage of it to further boost gaming performance. Although the boosted performance also applies to non-gaming content, such as more typical smartphone tasks and apps. The Black Shark 5 Pro also uses a 6.67-inch OLED display that delivers what Black Shark calls “industry-leading” levels of brightness, color accuracy and contrast.

This is broadly similar to the story of the Black Shark 5, although the lack of “Pro” in the name should make it clear that it doesn’t quite match its counterpart. For example, it features a “sandwich” liquid cooling system instead of an anti-gravity system, and uses the Snapdragon 870 instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which basically means it’ll perform well, but not as well as more expensive alternatives. On the other hand, the Black Shark 5 uses a higher-quality 6.67-inch AMOLED display instead of OLED like the 5 Pro.

However, the physical pop-up magnetron trigger is still present in both Series 5 models, and Black Shark says the technology has been improved. These physical controls pop out via side-mounted buttons and can be mapped to various game commands — or they can be used for other phone functions if you prefer. Black Shark claims that adjustments made to the new magnetic trigger system have significantly improved accuracy and response time.

The Black Shark 5 and Black Shark 5 Pro are available now, starting at around $585 and $852, respectively.you can find them Black Shark Online ShopAmazon and AliExpress.
