The ASUS ROG Phone 6 series is slated to debut on July 5. Rivalling gaming phone brands such as Nubia and Black Shark are expected to launch flagship gaming smartphones, such as the Red Magic 7S and the Black Shark 5S series, in the coming weeks. A new leak by Digital Chat Station has revealed what to expect from the Black Shark 5 series.

The Black Shark 5S series will feature a pressure-sensitive 6.67-inch OLED panel with a centrally positioned punch-hole. It will have support for an FHD+ resolution and a high refresh rate. It will probably support a 144Hz refresh rate like the Black Shark 5 series.

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset will be present under the hood of the Black Shark 5S duo. The tipster claims that it will be coupled with a new SSD storage technology. It will pack a 4,790mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.

The Black Shark 5S duo will have a triple camera unit. The vanilla model will feature a 64-megapixel main camera, whereas the Pro model could be equipped with a 108-megapixel camera. Other features that will be available in the Black Shark 5S lineup include an x-axis linear motor, dual linear stereo speakers, and dual magnetic pop-up triggers.

The Black Shark 5S series may come preinstalled with Android 12 OS and Joy UI 13. It may continue to feature a side-facing fingerprint scanner.

The Black Shark 5, Black Shark 5 Pro, and Black Shark 5 RS went official at the end of March this year. The company may launch the Black Shark 5S series at least six months after the Black Shark 5 lineup. Hence, it is likely that the 5S models may break cover by September’s end.
