This evening, the Black Shark 5 series in the mobile game players are looking forward to the official launch, although compared to some of the game mobile phone products are a little late, but this polished for nearly half a year of the new machine does not seem to be as simple as we think, especially under the blessing of the same platform, Black Shark can always maximize the performance and the needs of players, so as to win respect in the game mobile phone market. Indeed, as the largest cup of the three products unveiled this time, the Black Shark 5 Pro using the Snapdragon 8 platform has let us appreciate its strength before the official release, and for this product to have those different advantages, we may wish to talk about it from the perspective of our experience.
From the appearance point of view, the Black Shark 5 Pro has obviously done a lot of subtraction compared to the previous model, and I don't know how users who are deep gamers think about it, but from the perspective of xiaobian itself, this subtraction is obviously necessary.
Previously, in order to set off the sharpness of performance and control, many game mobile phone products, including Black Shark mobile phones, have adopted a "surreal" design on the ID, which cannot be unilaterally subjectively judged to be good or bad, but depends on whether it caters to the aesthetic needs of the vast majority of players, and at the same time, whether there are obvious side effects in holding and controlling.
In fact, starting from 2020, the intersection area between game phone products and conventional models has begun to expand rapidly, and it seems that some brands have realized that most players will not buy additional "second milk machines" for daily convenient use in addition to game phones, or conversely, if the popular model performance is strong enough, the market for game phones will inevitably be ignored. Therefore, a machine to meet the setting of the whole scene requires the design of the game phone can not violate the real needs, especially in the context of the large volume of the smart phone market, the optimization of non-game mobile phone products in game performance and experience is bound to accelerate the erosion of e-sports models, so the brand that indulges in the self-surreal world will inevitably drift away from the real market, and become a flash in the pan after the outbreak of mobile games, becoming cannon fodder for niche markets and pseudo-demand.
It has to be said that the subtraction of the Black Shark 5 Pro appears to be relaxed, the ID language retains the mechanical sense of the game phone, and retains the asymmetrical breathing lamp design, but compared with the previous Black Shark predecessor with edges and angles, the new product is more rounded, and the feel of ease is greatly improved. The volume control of the whole machine is still heavy, which is a burden that is difficult to get rid of in performance and scenario-based experience, at least in the short term. However, in contrast, the Black Shark has maintained the maximum restraint, the weight of the whole machine 220g compared to the current 5G flagship model generally maintained at about 210g of the normal and not significant deviation, and the thickness of 9.5mm is also slightly reduced than before, in exchange for the fullness of the grip, overall, the Black Shark 5 Pro in significantly improving performance at the same time, reasonable sacrifice of portability is understandable.
The good news is that the Black Shark 5 series has not given up the shoulder button, which is good news for players who insist on using Black Shark's several generations of products and have developed shoulder button multi-finger control. The Black Shark 5 series still uses a magnetodynamic physical shoulder button, however, we also found a corresponding problem during the experience, that is, the shoulder key pressing feeling of this Black Shark 5 series is somewhat sticky, at least the shoulder button touch of the Black Shark 5 Pro in our hand is not consistent with the earlier one, not as crisp and clean as the previous model, the key range seems to have a certain shortening, which means that some players may need to re-adapt to the shoulder button feel after upgrading and choosing the Black Shark 5 series.
As the most critical visual source and control interface for gamers, the Black Shark 5 Pro is not sloppy at all. The machine adopts a 6.67-inch OLED flexible direct screen, with the industry's highest ultra-high refresh rate of 144HZ, while having 10bit color depth display capabilities and HDR10+ and SGS eye protection certification. Among them, the players are most concerned about the high brush support, Black Shark 5 Pro has also played its own terminal leadership in the field of mobile games, and many first-line mobile games have been perfectly adapted.
In addition, the screen contains the touch ability, Black Shark 5 Pro uses a new TouchControl touch master program, in the official expression, this program from the hardware layer to the firmware layer to the game layer has been a lot of algorithm architecture adjustments and optimizations, in the context of 720HZ touch sampling rate to achieve a 15% increase in touch response speed, so that in many high-fps games can play a more accurate control performance, especially "Peace Elite" and other shooting games, It further reflects the exclusive optimization ability of the Black Shark game mobile phone and the advantage of player battle.
Of course, the screen is only one aspect, in terms of auditory satisfaction and enhancement, the Black Shark 5 series has once again brought a deep improvement. It uses two fully symmetrical top speakers and four custom high-dynamic microphones on the hardware, in which the speaker's sound cavity reaches a 1.5cc equivalent, while giving the high-power SMART PA and Boost IC a total of four-chip drive scheme, so as to promote the speaker to produce a stunning sound effect under the large sound cavity. It is no exaggeration to say that when we actually experienced the Black Shark 5 Pro, we were really shocked by its powerful ring field release effect, because it is difficult to imagine that such an excellent sense of presence and sound effects come from a mobile phone, if you use a figurative metaphor, the soundstage effect and sound sense it brings are even better than the average TV, and it can almost be compared with the home theater effect in a specific space. Therefore, even if it is not equipped with headphones, in the game that needs to listen to the sound position, the Black Shark 5 Pro can give full play to the advantages of the sound field to help players quickly determine the position of the enemy, and even if these additional requirements are not required, the sound performance of this mobile phone is enough to allow the player to experience the immersive sense of presence and make the game experience go up the ladder. It can be seen that it is precisely for this reason that the Black Shark 5 Pro has also become the first model to get DXOMARK after the previous generation of Black Shark 4 Pro, and this achievement is also deserved.
If you look at the iterative pace of the mobile terminal SoC, the Black Shark 5 Pro came a little too late, nearly three months late compared to the new model released by a cool one in January this year. Fortunately, the real performance is also polished to the best state during this time. On the platform, Black Shark 5 Pro uses the new ARMv9 architecture of Snapdragon 8Gen1, the specific specifications of this SoC we will not introduce too much, but it needs to be mentioned that for the existing two ARMv9 chips that have been first launched and have been shipped in batches, the difference between Snapdragon 8Gen1 and Tianji 9000 is not significant, of which Snapdragon still occupies a certain advantage in compatibility and reliability, especially in communications, while Tianji relies on more additional AI algorithm advantages and advanced process technology. In terms of energy efficiency performance, it is even better, so the MR generation of ARMv9 is only just emerging, and how the future performance is still to be determined, and as a player or consumer, it is not a problem to choose who at present.
Then the key advantage of the Black Shark 5 Pro is to create a performance performance that is unique at present, or a new high point in the performance of the Snapdragon 8Gen1 at this stage. In the Antutu test, the Black Shark 5 Pro got more than 1.11 million points, which is not only more than 80,000 points ahead of the same platform start-up model, but also nearly 100,000 points ahead of the Tianji 9000 platform, and the key to this is in addition to the continuous buff bonus of the drive layer, at the same time, there is also the Black Shark 5 series of unprecedented heat dissipation system auxiliary chip to complete the full play of the ultimate performance.
To this end, Black Shark 5 Pro innovatively introduced a new reverse gravity dual VC liquid cooling system, the core of this cooling system not only with the double VC and other 5320mm heat dissipation surface to create the largest area of heat dissipation record at this stage, but also added to the heating plate "reverse gravity track" design, so as to overcome the traditional liquid cooling cycle affected by gravity problems, more efficient completion of internal heat dissipation through rapid circulation.
True performance and heat dissipation can be felt vividly during the experience of the game. Under the full-high-quality 60fps setting of "Original God", the Black Shark 5 Pro achieved, while the frame rate jitter was only, and there was no obvious perceived stutter in the whole process, but there was a stuttering phenomenon in the scene drawing process at the beginning of the opening game, and this phenomenon actually existed in all mobile terminals. The mobile phone temperature rise problem is also very well controlled, the surface temperature of the fuselage is not obviously concentrated in a certain area, the overall distribution is relatively uniform, compared to many non-gaming mobile phone products more concentrated camera near the motherboard area, this product does not have a location of uncomfortable hot hand problem.
It is worth mentioning that the performance of the Black Shark 5 Pro is not only in the SoC running score, but also in the storage performance is also completely impressive. Previously, the Black Shark game mobile phone took the lead in the industry to launch the concept of "disk array", which was mentioned earlier on the server side and actually appeared on the mobile terminal. And the way it is achieved is in addition to the mobile phone SoC
In addition to the integrated EMMC, a memory device similar to the SSD concept is added. To this end, the Black Shark 5 Pro has also made a new upgrade to this technology, named "Disk Array System 2.0".
In the reading and writing performance test of Antu Rabbit, the Black Shark 5 Pro reached a nearly 150,000 points of anti-heavenly results, you know, most of the newly released flagship models at the beginning of this year can only stay in close to 80,000 points, individual extraordinary play can exceed 90,000, but like this sequential reading and writing are about 1.2GB /s, and random reading of nearly 4GB/s, it has indeed exceeded the definition of conventional smartphone storage performance, reaching an incomparable realm.
In fact, don't look at the Black Shark 5 Pro is really for performance and game experience, but on the contrary, for the industry does not pay much attention to the imaging capabilities, this model has not left any regrets. In terms of image hardware, Black Shark 5 Pro adopts a rear triple camera design, of which the main camera is 100 million pixels, in addition to 13 million pixels of ultra-wide angle and 5 million pixel macro lens, strictly speaking, the two secondary cameras in most scenes are not much application, so the core optimization point of the image of this phone is still in the main camera direction. We will not dwell on the basic specifications of the image, so it is better to understand the imaging capabilities of this product directly through the sample.
In terms of basic imaging, the scene optimization of the Black Shark 5 Pro is slightly weakened compared to the popular model, and there is no high contrast and saturation processing that is too heavy and colorful, so the color style of its imaging is more similar to straight out. In terms of basic experience, the machine's white balance recognition is very accurate, so the color temperature presentation is completely consistent with the facts, and there is no impeccable place for focus and imaging speed, especially in the high-intensity backlit scene, the Black Shark 5 Pro still shows a satisfactory effect, so this generation of products is not an absolute strong point in the image, but at least compared to the previous ignored factors, it is now enough to meet the needs of the vast majority of players daily shooting.
In addition, in terms of endurance and fast charging, the Black Shark 5 Pro uses a 4650 mAh battery, while with a 120W power adapter, the endurance meter is realistic, not too exaggerated, but compared with the previous game, it still maintains a good level of endurance. At the same time, the performance of fast charging has not shrunk, and the measured automatic shutdown from exhaustion to full fully charged is still less than 15 minutes, which is obviously not a short board in the current game phone.
In terms of system, the Black Shark 5 series began, but also began to fully transform JOYUI 13, although the UI style and details are not big differences, but the game space, shark sauce, black shark moment, smart Cube and other game supporting functions are constantly strengthening, and then in the state of peak performance, still maintain the best effect for gamers to comprehensively experience.
brief summary:
If you want to be surprised, the Black Shark 5 Pro really can't be regarded as a surprise, because this product is relative to the previous generation of Black Shark 4 Pro, in addition to the performance of the evolution point is not concentrated, in addition to the performance of the explosion, more or more of the details of the improvement, but only by the performance of a little, the Black Shark 5 Pro is enough to easily take off the performance of all the current smartphones laurels. After all, the performance and comprehensive game experience is still the foundation of the game phone, although as we mentioned earlier in the mobile phone market began to appear seriously involuted, but the demand for game phones is still there, and the Black Shark 5 Pro in the core and storage of the two major aspects of the concentrated force, but also aroused the game players to replace the old equipment in their hands of the desire, in the smooth game world, Black Shark a new generation of models can undoubtedly give players no regrets, will not be because of the equipment lags leading to defeat of the chest beat foot, In fact, this alone is enough.
