The newly released Black Shark 5 series has different user positioning: the standard version 5 uses the Snapdragon 870 processor, and the 5 RS has two versions, 888 and 888 Plus, but the most prominent game attribute must be the Black Shark 5 Pro equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Game properties are the biggest attraction of the Black Shark 5 Pro. For example, the "meteorite black" color scheme on my hand, the back cover adopts a circuit-like pattern design, and under the hardcore look, there will be RGB lighting effects on the right side of the camera, which highlights a "cyberpunk" style when lit.
Even for users who do not know much about mobile phones, the game attributes of the Black Shark 5 Pro have a strong perception of design alone.
If you want to improve the game experience, as a device, performance and operation are indispensable, so on the basis of the previous game, what upgrades have been made to the Black Shark 5 Pro?
First of all, the new machine is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, which is one of the strongest mobile chips at present, in addition, Black Shark 5 Pro is also equipped with SSD disk array system 2.0, in principle, it is by adding an SSD solid-state storage hard disk, and with UFS3.1, shorten the game startup and loading time.
But the premise of strong performance release must be thermal management.
Based on the "sandwich liquid cooling architecture" and the direct-contact copper block heat dissipation scheme, the Black Shark 5 Pro has added a "reverse gravity track" design to the VC vaporizer plate to speed up the liquid circulation speed, and the area of its dual VC vaporized plate has also reached 5320mm, which is one of the largest total liquid cooling areas in the mobile phone.
Through the test, even if "Peace Elite" is switched to "extreme frame rate + highest picture quality", after thirty minutes, in addition to the frame rate can remain stable, the heat on the back is not obvious, and the performance is more "calm". After entering "Original God", the frame number and picture quality are also switched to the highest, and the heat will increase at this time, mainly concentrated in the upper part of the fuselage.
However, it is worth noting that compared with the conventional flagship "lock frame" strategy, the Black Shark 5 Pro preferentially chooses performance release, so it does not affect the in-game experience, which is commendable.
Black Shark 5 Pro "Game Assistant" feature
Therefore, in terms of performance, Black Shark 5 Pro is still one of the most secure choices in the "game phone" on the market.
Such a performance is not unexpected, and from the operation, the Black Shark 5 Pro has also improved.
First of all, this generation of screen, the refresh rate increased to 144Hz, touch sampling rate increased to 720Hz, after actual measurement, the former provides more follow-up performance, the latter helps the smoothness of the picture, such as "Glory of the King" such games, the release of a series of skills is quite smooth, at this time the maximum pressure of the upper score, it comes to the player's technology side.
Black Shark 5 Pro "Game Lobby" interface
Another key to the control is the Black Shark 5 Pro's dual magnetically powered solid shoulder buttons.
Flick the button, the left and right sides will pop up the physical shoulder key, through the way of mapping, from the physical level to add two additional buttons, the same as the experience of the previous two generations of Black Shark mobile phones, magnetic power entity shoulder key, suitable for FPS games such as "Peace Elite", from the opening of the camera to the shooting in one go, compared to the conventional mobile phone, it can be called the existence of the "plug-in" level.
Sound quality is another "traditional art" of the Black Shark. The new machine has a fully symmetrical dual speaker, equivalent to the dual 1.5cc sound cavity, equipped with the largest amplitude of the mobile phone speaker, from the sound point of view, compared with the flagship mobile phone, it does have a brighter performance, so in the DXOMARK audio list, the new machine once again ranked first.
Better external sound quality, first of all, serves the experience of the game, such as providing accurate "listening to the position", looking for the location of the enemy, and in daily use, whether it is watching a drama or listening to music, relying on a good bass performance, the immersion of watching the movie is quite strong. Back to the game scene, because the speaker is in the front position, it will not block the sound when holding horizontally, coupled with the array of four microphones and algorithm optimization, the "listening" and "speaking" in the Black Shark 5 Pro game have a very good performance.
In terms of battery life, the Black Shark 5 Pro 4650mAh battery capacity, equipped with 120W fast charging, measured 15 minutes can be charged from zero to full power, if it is in daily use, to meet the day's endurance problem is not big.
In addition to mobile phones, a series of peripherals of Black Shark also constitute their own game ecology, such as this latest "Fengming True Wireless Bluetooth Headset (Noise Reduction Version)".
As the second TWS headset of Black Shark, it continues the "cyber style" of Black Shark 5 Pro in design, whether it is the design of decorative pieces or the tough line cutting, it is still based on "game attributes" as the starting point.
As a headset that supports "active noise cancellation", this product supports up to 40dB of deep noise reduction, and supports the Bluetooth 5.2 standard and Qualcomm AptX adaptive audio codec technology, so the full link delay is shortened to 85ms, and the optimization of "low latency" is also to ensure a better gaming experience.
The headset is also equipped with a Qualcomm QCC3056 chip, and has a 12mm custom dynamic, which is 10 hours of continuous use, and can reach 30 hours with the charging compartment.
More detailed is that Black Shark JoyBuds Pro also supports "Music" and "Game" modes, providing different tuning styles.
With more flagship mobile phones emphasizing "game functions", compared with the Black Shark mobile phones that have positioned "games" since the beginning of their birth, they may still have the purest game experience in the dazzling market competition.
