A few days ago Black Shark, the gaming phone brand born from a rib of Xiaomi officially revealed that the Black Shark 4 series will be announced on March 23 in China. As often happens, in the days before the launch, the brand has begun to anticipate some of the features that we will find on the device.
Black Shark 4 in the first real photos: it will be the first gaming phone with a perforated display
What we did not expect to see is a video of a user who already seems to own the smartphone and who clearly shows us the design of the same.
The video confirms that the Black Shark 4 is equipped with a flat OLED screen (cover image), while on the back we find a module with three cameras positioned horizontally. We then have a lateral fingerprint sensor and a physical button for lifting the shoulder buttons very interesting.
Returning to the display, the Black Shark 4 would come with a standard 6,67-inch Samsung AMOLED screen with a high refresh rate. It has been reported that the screen of the device would be of the same E4 material as the Redmi K40, therefore of high quality.
We also point out that the Black Shark 4 will be the first gaming phone in the world with a full screen design and a hole for the front camera. Which could be considered a good compromise to decrease the overall dimensions of the gaming phone, which are usually quite bulky.
As for the mechanical-type physical shoulder buttons, we have seen these in action in a promotional video a couple of days ago. In practice, by pressing a button the two shoulder buttons come out of the smartphone chassis, transforming it more and more into a controller-like. Clearly these two buttons should be very useful for those who play the FPS genre on their smartphone.
For the rest, we know that the Black Shark 4 series will include two models, the Black Shark 4 and the Black Shark 4 Pro, which will be equipped with Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888 CPUs respectively.
Finally, a battery with a capacity of 4500mAh that supports 65W / 120W flash charging will power the smartphones.
