Black Shark 5 series launch date

In February, two Black Shark models were spotted in the database of TENAA certification. The KTUS-A0 model was spotted with a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ display, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, up to 16 GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of storage, a 3 GHz octa-core processor, and a 4,650mAh (rated value) battery. It may feature a 13-megapixel front camera and a 108-megapixel triple camera unit. The 3C certification of the device suggests that it may carry support for 120W fast charging.

The PAR-A0 model was seen with a 3.2GHz octa-core processor, up to 12 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage, and a 64-megapixel triple camera unit. The rest of the specifications of the PAR-A0 were found to be identical to the KTUS-A0 model. Previous rumors suggested that the KTUS-A0 and PAR-A0 models would be released as the Black Shark 5 Pro and Black Shark 5, respectively.

Today, tipster WHY LAB shared a screenshot to claim that the Realme GT Neo3, Black Shark 5 Pro, and Black Shark 5 RS smartphones are compatible with the ultra-high frame rate modes of the “Hone of Kings” game.
