Reviews for the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro

50% The Black Shark 4 Pro Is All-In On Gamer Stereotypes
Source: The Verge English EN→zh-CN
At the core, there’s nothing wrong with the concept of gaming phones. They’re thicker than your average flagship phone due to bigger batteries, a heat sink, and several other components that you probably won’t find in phones made by Google, Apple, or Samsung. They’re proofs of concept that you can get laptop-tier specs into a pocket-sized device. If only a company made a device with more focused software that doesn’t feel so pressured to lean (in Black Shark’s case, very awkwardly) into the stereotypical lane of what it thinks a gamer wants in phone software. It’s really not a good look. For all of the power and high-end tech that’s bundled in gaming phones, they aren’t great all-around picks for people who want great software, boundary-pushing cameras, and a more appealing device around the edges.

Black Shark 4 Pro Review: Physical Triggers For The Win
Source: Lowyat.net English EN→zh-CN
As far as gaming phones go, the Black Shark 4 Pro is a solid entry in a long line of gaming phones. Its key feature which lets it stand out from the rest is the physical shoulder buttons. These not only allow it to perform its usual macro duties in-game but also serve as additional shortcuts while in everyday use. And this is a major plus if you like snapping photos with your phone, since it can both serve as the shortcut to launch the app, as well as the physical shutter button. Though while playing games, the Black Shark 4 Pro can get pretty warm. This is not alleviated by the case that comes in the box – at least, not by much. And while running GFXBench, it got to a point where it feels as hot as a kettle. Unfortunate heat issues aside, the physical keys make it a very compelling phone to get compared to other gaming phones on the market. Though despite that, it has to be pointed out that despite getting into the local market earlier this year, it was announced in March of 2021. If you’re okay with getting a gaming phone that is a generation behind but still plenty powerful for most uses.

60% Black Shark 4 Pro review: A decent budget gaming phone
Source: Laptop Mag English EN→zh-CN
The Black Shark 4 Pro squeezes every last drop of potential out of last year’s components, pairing them with 120W charging and physical shoulder buttons, to make a decent budget gaming phone. But there are too many problems and an extremely creepy assistant app, to make it worthwhile.

80% Black Shark 4 Pro review: Gaming flagship killer
Source: Zdnet.com English EN→zh-CN
The Black Shark 4 Pro is an exceptionally well-built gaming phone, with all the nuts and bolts that we've come to expect from one. Better yet, its $579 starting price undercuts most of the competition, without compromising on processing power and functionality. Just be prepared for the device's heavy skin over Android, a slower cadence of software updates, and middling battery life. If you can get over those shortcomings, the Black Shark 4 Pro may be the gaming phone for you.

The Black Shark 4 Pro delivers on its advertised promise: impressive gaming performance, with a few neat extras that help with gameplay. It's fast and fluid and boasts an amazing 120W fast-charging battery; still, it has some weaknesses.

Review – Black Shark 4 Pro: Still plenty of power with innovative features
Source: NLT English EN→zh-CN
So, at the end of the day, the Black Shark 4 Pro. Is it worth buying even after a year since its debut? There are two variants that you can choose from. However, I do advise you to wait for the upcoming Black Shark 5 to be released first since it should be announced soon. After that, maybe the price of the Black Shark 4 Pro will drop to about RM2.5k or lower? Anyway, that’s all I have for you today – the Black Shark 4 Pro is still a very powerful phone given that you have some way to protect your hands roasted by the phone.

Still The BEST PUBG Gaming Phone For The Price? Black Shark 4 Pro Global Review

80% Black Shark 4 Pro review
Source: Tech Advisor English EN→zh-CN
The Black Shark 4 Pro is a capable gaming phone, even with a 2021 spec. While the gaming phone's Snapdragon 888 is beginning to look old compared to 2022 gaming phones, benchmarks show that the manufacturers have squeezed every drop of power possible for chart-topping benchmark results, even when compared to phones with the upgraded Snapdragon 888 Plus. It really is an impressive feat of engineering, and that translates to a high-end mobile gaming experience devoid of freezing or lag. It is worth mentioning that it's not technically the fastest Black Shark, with the follow-up Black Shark 4S range – with a Snapdragon 888 Plus – readily available in China. But, given the delay with the Black Shark 4 Pro, it’ll be a while before that graces UK shores (if ever). If you’re more focused on the core gaming experience than the specs, the Black Shark 4 Pro is still a tempting option.

80% Black Shark 4 Pro review: Not just for gamers
Source: Pocket Lint English EN→zh-CN
With so many manufacturers going after that skinny-bezelled sleek look for their smartphones, it's refreshing when a phone comes along that's different. The Black Shark 4 Pro's priority is all about practicality: giving you a big and bright screen, big sound, but therefore being that bit bigger than your usual. But does that really matter? But if you are a gamer then a feature that makes a real difference is the Black Shark 4 Pro's two physical trigger switches. These pop out of the phone's frame, giving you something tactile to press, which gives an advantage in fast-paced games where you don't want the screen blocked by your fingers. Sure, the camera system is a bit of a letdown, but we're not sure that's going to be a major red flag against a device such as this. The Black Share 4 Pro is one accomplished piece of kit that blurs the lines between gaming phones and affordable flagships. We think it's fantastic - whether you're a gamer or not.

83% Black Shark 4 Pro Review — Setting The Benchmark For Gaming Smartphones?
Source: Pokde English EN→zh-CN
Starting from the price of RM2,599, the Black Shark 4 Pro is a worthy offering in the gaming smartphone market. It offers several top-of-the-line specifications and it does rather well when it comes to gaming itself. There are pros and cons as you’d expect. The review unit that we had is slightly different from the one offered in Malaysia, where it comes with 12GB RAM mated to a 128GB internal storage. If anything, I wished that the battery would perform slightly better. There is the speedy 120W fast charger however to combat that and get you up and running in no time. After all is said and done, we award the Black Shark 4 Pro with our Silver Pokdeward.

Black Shark 4 Pro Display review: Comfortable gaming experience
Source: DxOMark English EN→zh-CN
The Black Shark 4 Pro is a gamer’s phone and is well-suited for that purpose, thanks to its smooth feel and accurate touch during play. However, its overall lack of readability (especially outdoors), its imperfect color accuracy, and its HDR10 playback performance make it less suitable as an all-purpose device.

只有较少的手机有很大的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
