A new device from Black Shark recently passed Google Play Console certification. This device codenamed “penrose” and model number PRS-A0 is expected to be the next Black Shark 4.
Black Shark 4 on Google Play Console: Will it be powered by a Snapdragon 870?
According to a well-known Chinese blogger, the Black Shark 4 will be equipped with a high resolution OLED screen, in particular we are talking about 2400 * 1080 pixels and an sm8250 processor. It is likely that once it goes into mass production this chip will be replaced with the new sm8250 ac, which is Qualcomm's latest sub-flagship chip under the name Snapdragon 870.
Although the new Snapdragon 870 processor belongs to the “sub-flagship” category, the chip is actually based on an upgrade of the previous generation flagship CPU, the Snapdragon 865 Plus.
In fact, it uses the exact same technology aboard the Snapdragon 865 Plus as far as architecture is concerned, but it is equipped with the enhanced big core version of the Kryo 585 CPU clocked at up to 3,2 GHz. Compared to the previous generation there is. it's a 100 MHz improvement, so we're expecting performance that's superior to and close to that of the Snapdragon 888.
In any case, it should be noted that, due to the positioning of the Snapdragon 870 chip, Qualcomm has also relatively reduced some less requested configurations, such as support for Wi-Fi 6E, which is an improved version of the Wi-Fi 6 standard, which supports the 6GHz band with a peak speed at short distances that is 20% higher.
As for the official info, Black Shark has not yet revealed relevant information about the device, but it is speculated that the Black Shark PRS-A0 will continue with the same general design as the previous Black Shark 3S.
Except for the Snapdragon 870, the appearance is basically the same, in front we will find a 6,67-inch Samsung AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, we will then have a battery capacity of 4720 mAh and ultra-fast flash charging 65 W.
