Black Shark has been dormant on the launch of Black Shark 4 devices. The company is expected to launch two smartphones in the series. However, before the launch, a possible Black Shark 4 Pro variant has been spotted on Geekbench.
A smartphone with model number KSR-A0 appears on Geekbench 5 with the codename ‘Kaiser’. We have seen reports of this device earlier and it was believed to be the Black Shark 4. However, a tipster recently said that the company had changed plans.
As per the reports, the Black Shark 4 series will include two devices- Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro. Out of this, the ‘Pro’ variant is said to feature the flagship Snapdragon 888 chipset while the non-Pro will darn the Snapdragon 870 SoC.
To clear you up, the two smartphones that are believed to belong to the Black Shark 4 series, have the following codenames thanks to various certifications like TENAA, 3C:
- Black Shark 4
- codename: SHARK PSR-A0(3C)
- Black Shark 4 Pro
- codename: SHARK KSR-A0(TENAA)
Talking about the Geekbench listing itself, we couldn’t find it on the Geekbench database. However, MySmartPrice has reported it first and from the screenshots, we can see that the device features Adreno 660 GPU, has 12GB RAM, runs Android 11, and scores 1,140 and 3,754 on single and multi-core categories.
If this turns out to be the ‘Pro’ variant, then the device will likely sport a 6.67-inch FHD+ display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. This is a downgrade from the 1440p resolution on the predecessor. The devices could also have up to 12GB RAM, 512GB storage, 4,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.
With companies like Nubia, ASUS opting for crazy 16/18GB RAM versions, we wouldn’t be surprised if Black Shark joins this bandwagon in 2021.
