This time, we get the Black Shark 5 Pro model that uses a new generation of Snapdragon 8 processors, and will also use it as an example to show you the performance of the Black Shark 5 series in the game.
01 Appearance: Light and thin fuselage light texture
Different from other manufacturers of various concave shapes, the design of the Black Shark mobile phone is very "calm", more inclined to the use experience and daily practicality. When I first started working with the Black Shark 5 Pro, my first impression was that the fuselage was thinner and lighter than the previous generation, and due to the new hardware stacking method, the empty space inside the fuselage was optimized to achieve a lighter and thinner body grip experience.
In order to create a visual sense of lightness and thinness of the fuselage, the Black Shark 5 Pro adopts a high-gloss metal frame with a delicate chamfer design at the border, which reduces a lot of thickness for the fuselage through the refraction and reflection of light. As an e-sports phone, the Black Shark 5 Pro retains the physical shoulder key design of the previous generation, and adds a U-shaped guide groove suitable for the curvature of the fingers in the shoulder key position to ensure the grip when playing. Not only that, in order to allow everyone to quickly locate the position of the shoulder key when playing, the Black Shark 5 Pro adopts a diamond-textured flick keycap, which not only improves the overall texture but also ensures the feel of the dial.
Coming to the back of the fuselage, the Black Shark 5 Pro adopts a 3D curved glass backplane, multi-axis nano-optical coating into the matrix space elements, through the thickness, size of the matrix space to form a staggered visual level, with the underlying light and shadow texture, concise breathing light bar, for the fuselage to add a lot of mechanical texture. In order to enhance the consistency of the back of the fuselage, a rectangular design is also adopted in the image module part, and the visual effect is very textured.
The front of the Black Shark 5 Pro adopts a 6.67-inch 144Hz high-brush OLED flexible direct screen, which supports 10-bit color depth display, intelligent dynamic refresh, and has also obtained HDR10+ certification and SGS eye protection high-quality display certification. Black Shark 5 Pro also launched a 120Hz Hd certification with Youku, which allows you to enjoy a high-resolution video experience even without a video membership. For the first time, dual light sensors are also introduced, which detect the ambient brightness at 360° and provide 16,000 levels of fine brightness adjustment, avoiding the problem of misidentification of brightness when the game is held horizontally.
02 Performance: Smooth game with low temperature
Black Shark 5 Pro uses a new generation of Snapdragon 8 processor in terms of hardware, compared to Snapdragon 888, CPU performance is increased by 20%, energy efficiency is increased by 30%. At the same time, the disk array scheme of enterprise-class storage performance is introduced in memory, and an SSD SSD and a UFS3.1 disk are combined together through the RAID disk array to perform storage read and write operations in parallel. In addition, according to the game usage scenarios, gameEngine software performance optimization and upgrade, Thermal control key device thermal control optimization and AI process monitoring have also been carried out. Next, let's take a look at how the Black Shark 5 Pro performs in terms of performance.
Before the game was measured, we first benchmarked the Black Shark 5 Pro, and achieved 1099555 points in the antutu's running score test, the test process was very smooth, and the fuselage temperature rose by only 10.7 °C. In the Geekbench5 test, the Black Shark 5 Pro has a single-core score of 1213 points and a multi-core score of 3739 points, which has a good performance reserve in hardware. In addition, in the 3DMark test, the Black Shark 5 Pro test score is 10024 points, and the performance is still very good.
