Xiaomi Black Shark 5 Detailed Descriptions:

 

Design.

The appearance of the Black Shark here has changed rather. The design of the camera model has retained familiar features, but the display has almost lost its frames. The selfie camera placed in the upper left of the display has also decreased in size. Its glass and metal case bright colors make it stand out against the more expensive Samsung Galaxy S22 5G Ultra and Huawei P50 Pro. The touch keys on the side will be highly appreciated by Gamers.

 

Display.

A 6.67-inch AMOLED display screen is satisfactory. It is Full HD+ with a PPI density of 395, but its predominant feature is a first rate refresh charge of 144 hertz . Thus, a high contrast picture will also marvel you with brilliant smoothness. It should also be eminent that the responsive fingerprint scanner on the side hardly ever contains errors.

 

Camera.

Samsung GW3 sensor can be seen in a lot of smartphones in the midrange category also. And also in Flagships like the Xiaomi 12 Pro. This sensor is brighter and bigger. It is the 64 MP sensor present in Black Shark 5. You will be able to take stronger portrait shots and great shots at night because it’s combined with a wider aperture. This sensor is reliable at maintaining a good dynamic range even in harsh conditions. These are some of the Camera options available- Dual video mode, Portrait mode,  night mode, 4K video mode, 8K video mode, 1080p video mode, and slow-motion mode at different resolutions. The 16 MP Selfie Camera is only kept on 1080p up to 30 FPS but produces quality photos.

 

Software and Performance.

First things first. You are getting 5G and Android 12, Joy UI 13 straight out of the boxy Shark 5 comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 870. The Performance of Xiaomi Black Shark 5 scores great on Antutu 9 benchmarks. It also makes the phone experience much smoother flow with the 144Hz display. It is a dragon performance, something that gamers will enjoy most.

 

Battery.

The battery capacity has been increased to 4650 mAh but is still small compared to the more affordable Redmi 10A 32GB, Redmi 10A 64GB, Oppo A17. Moreover, this battery is more reliable than that of Xiaomi 13 Lite and Xiaomi 12 Lite. When it comes to charging, his phone can support fast charging of 120 watts. Which can charge fully in 20 minutes. There is no fast wireless charging support though. The Xiaomi Black Shark 5 has a full day battery on a single charge and can live long up to a day.
