Black Shark released the first teaser of the Black Shark 4 series in January. The Black Shark 3 and 3 Pro phones were made official in early March last year. Hence, the successor models were expected to arrive around the same time this year. It appears that the Black Shark 4 may debut later this month as the Black Shark 3S smartphone has gone out of stock.
The Black Shark 3S went official in July last year in two variants such as 12 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. At present, the 256 GB variant is no longer available at Mi.com, while both models are now out of stock at other retailer sites in China. Black Shark CEO Luo Yuzhou conveyed through Weibo that the Black Shark 3S has gone out of stock as the Black Shark 4 is coming soon.
Recent reports have revealed that there are two versions of the Black Shark 4 with KRS-A0 and PRS-A0 model numbers. It is speculated that these models are powered by the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 870 chipsets, respectively. These devices may break cover as the Black Shark 4 Pro and Black Shark 4. Both devices are expected to be backed a by 4,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.
The Black Shark 4 Pro has a 6.67-inch OLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution. The standard model may also feature the same screen. In terms of appearance, the Black Shark 4 model seems to appear like a toned-down version of the Pro variant. Both phones have a horizontal camera module, and they are expected to arrive with Android 11 OS preinstalled.
