Today the new Black Shark 5 Pro and his younger brother standard 5. The two devices will certainly not have rivals from the point of view of performance, considering the processors they mount. Add to this the optimization of the JoyUI 13, evolution of the JoyUI 12.5 which we have also seen in the Global version. But will "brute force" alone be enough to make them the best gaming phones on the market? No, because mobile gamers expect the best even in reproduction audio. And indeed the new smartphone in the Pro version wins over all.
Nothing to do, with the new Black Shark 5 Pro the gaming company manages to conquer the whole podium of devices with better audio!
Together withBlack Shark 5 Pro audio, the experts of DxOMark also evaluated that of Xiaomi 12 Pro. Unfortunately, the latter did not perform quite as well as its gaming sibling. But having said that, let's see what the "Black Shark" is capable of. As usual, the macro areas where the DxOMark team is concentrated are there reproduction , registration. Let's start with the first.
In reproduction, ad exception of artifacts, the Black Shark 5 Pro wins over competitors (even its predecessors) in almost every category and use case tested, whether it's playing music, watching movies or gaming. Timbre reproduction is excellent, with a rich and natural midrange. The tall are clean the bass is also very pleasant. The dynamics and spatial attributes are both impressive, as as far as volume is concerned, the Black Shark 5 Pro is simply the "noisiest" device tested to date. While not flawless, the device's ability to control artifacts is good overall.
From the point of view of registration, the Black Shark 5 Pro offers equally exceptional performance. The recorded audio can reach impressive levels of volume showing very few artifacts. In addition, the acquisition of the timbre is pleasant and natural, the dynamics is excellent and the spatial attributes are immersive and realistic, even in selfie videos. In light of all these skills, background acquisition is, predictably, very satisfying, natural and well balanced. Experts claim that all of this makes the Black Shark 5 Pro also suitable for recording concerts.
As anticipated, Black Shark 5 Pro does place 1st both in the general ranking and in that of premium smartphones. We are pleased to note that Black Shark occupies the entire podium of the general classification. The fifth generation smartphone is followed by the 4S Pro and 4 Pro models. What a bomb!
At this point, it would be better to buy the blackshark 5 pro than Xiaomi 12 pro, it costs half and is better in its entirety. How poco f3 and Xiaomi 12x, costs two thirds less and the hardware level is pressappoco ditto, then now that it has received MIUI 13 with Android 12, even better.
I'm honest: personally I would 🤷🏻♂️
