The Black Shark 5 and Black Shark 5 Pro have appeared on Geekbench, showing off their Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips, respectively, ahead of their Chinese launch scheduled for March 30th.
Among them, the Black Shark 5 Pro has managed to achieve peak scores of 1,237 points and 3,750 points for single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. The Black Shark 5, on the other hand, seems to hover around the 3,000 and 1,000 points mark, which although isn’t too impressive for a gaming phone, should be improved once the series is released.
Additionally, the official Black Shark Weibo handle today showed off the phones’ shoulder buttons with a demo video. Dubbed “Magnetic Lifting Shoulder Button 2.0,” the dedicated keys allow greater control when gaming, whether it’s FPS or racing games. They seem to have a “U-shape” for optimal grip.
The Black Shark 5 Pro is equipped with a 6.67-inch OLED with a 2400 × 1080 resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 under the hood will be assisted by 16GB of RAM and will be powered by a 4650mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.
