Besides POCO, Civi and Redmi, the Xiaomi company also has another sub-brand called Black Shark, which sells powerful smartphones with bold designs aimed at the avid gaming smartphone market.
After launching the Black Shark 5 series back in China two months ago, the brand is finally bringing the Black Shark 5 and 5 Pro to its first global market – Malaysia. The new devices will be launched officially on June 8th (Wednesday) in the country at 7 pm Malaysia Time (UTC +8) / 4:30 pm Indian Time (UTC +5:30).
Black Shark is expected to announce the pricing and pre-order promotions for the Black Shark 5 series on the day. The launch event will be officially livestreamed via Black Shark Malaysia official social media channels which are on Facebook and TikTok.
As for the specs of the Black Shark 5 series, we expect the global variants of the Black Shark 5 and 5 Pro to be same as the variants that were announced back in March 30 in China.
In China, the Black Shark 5 and 5 Pro both come with a 6.67-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) AMOLED display with variable refresh rates of up to 144Hz. The display is a Samsung E4 AMOLED panel with 1300 nits of max brightness, DC dimming, HDR10+ support, and 100% coverage of the P3 colour gamut. The devices also have a 720Hz touch sampling rate and a dual-zone pressure-sensitive screen that can improve the gaming experience on your smartphone.
Performance-wise, the Black Shark 5 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 + SSD storage. This UFS + SSD combination of storage is what Xiaomi calls – Disk Array 2.0 technology, and thanks to it, the read and write speeds for the 5 Pro have increased by 55% and 69% respectively.
Meanwhile, the standard Black Shark 5 has the Snapdragon 870 SoC paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
Both gaming devices pack a 4,650mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging technology, and the company claims that the phones can be fully charged in just 15 minutes. The charger comes included in the box, and the device arrives out of the box with Black Shark’s JoyUI 13 based on Android 12.
