Xiaomi sub-brand Black Shark launched its latest
gaming-centric Black Shark 3 and Black Shark 3 Pro phones in China. Both
devices are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC and pack similar tripe
camera systems on the rear. Though the devices are mostly alike, the Pro model
comes with additional few features, including dedicated gaming shoulder
buttons. While both the devices were launched with high-end specs, Black Shark
did not confirm whether it is bringing the smartphones to the Indian market or
not. In India, Black Shark is working as an independent brand competing with
Xiaomi in the affordable flagship device race.
The Black Shark 3 Pro packs a massive 7.1-inch AMOLED panel
with Quad HD+ (1440 x 3120) resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. It also boasts of
world’s fastest 270Hz touch sampling rate as well. The phone is powered by
Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 865 SoC clocked up to 2.84GHz. The device
supports dual-band 5G and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.
The Black Shark 3 Pro is offered in two configurations 8GB
LPDDR4X RAM or 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, while the storage remains the same 256GB UFS
3.0. The smartphone packs triple camera configuration with a primary 64MP
sensor mated to a 13MP ultrawide sensor and a 5MP depth sensor. There is
another 20MP selfie shooter on the front.
The Black Shark 3 Pro comes with a massive 5000mAh battery
and comes with a 65W charger as standard. Xiaomi says the device can go from
flat to 100% in just 38 minutes. Another interesting feature of the Pro model
is pop-up triggers, which come on the right side of the device to act as
shoulder buttons when in landscape mode.
As for the regular Black Shark 3 model, the device retains
the same 90Hz display panel, but comes with a smaller 6.67-inch screen and
lower Full HD+ resolution. It also packs the same Snapdragon 865 SoC but comes
in three versions with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The battery too is
smaller 4720 mAh along with support for 65W charging, though the device itself
ships with a 30W charger. In addition, the vanilla version also lacks pop up
gaming buttons. Other key specs, including the camera remain the same as the
Pro model.
