Black Shark 4 is among the most interesting smartphones of 2021 and this is not in doubt. While waiting for our review to arrive, let's see what its strengths are. No doubt, as also reported by DxOMark, the Pro version device created a new standard in audio quality of smartphones. In addition to power it has no parts thanks to the optimized UI. But does it end here? No, because also in terms of resistance this device is a star of the firmament and the proof gives it to us Zach Nielsen aka JerryRigEverything.
Black Shark 4 is the toughest of gaming smartphones. It survives JerryRigEverything and the terrible bend test. It's a tank!
Gaming smartphones surprise this year with their fragility in flex tests. Just remember the mighty flagship ASUS ROG Phone 5 which breaks very easily. But Black Shark 4 is not like that, is made of a completely different pasta. JerryRigEverything tested the strength of the latest Black Shark 4 smartphone. Zack destroys smartphones through standard procedures: scratch, burns e screen folds. He also carried out a bonus disassembly of the cooling fan Fun Cooler 2, explaining how it works.
A protective film is installed on the screen, under which the normal glass is hidden scratches itself at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale. The frame is made of metal, as are the buttons, including those located on the side panel that can be pulled out of the case if necessary. These also resist light hammer blows. The screen resists a lighter flame for about 25 seconds and then turns white, but eventually recovers. The bend test however is its strong point: does not bend or break.
All beautiful, but there is also a but, even if it is not about the construction itself: unfortunately Black Shark 4 will no longer be produced and here we explain why. A plague has hit the entire technological world and which is expected to end only at the end of 2022.
