The Black Shark 4S series has continued to be teased ahead of its October 13 release date. While we previously have had vague info in the form of posters and teasers, Xiaomi has now given us a glimpse at some of the specifications to expect with the series comprised of the Black Shark 4S and 4S Pro.

A Weibo post today revealed that the lineup will be equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ flagship processor, have a dual disk array 2.0 design, and support UFS and SSD write double acceleration which greatly improves the read and write performance.

In addition, the phones will also sport a dual-zone screen pressure sensitivity feature that will allow two pressure-sensitive zones to be set on the screen. These two zones can then be tied to any on-screen controls, effectively providing a superior gaming experience. For clarity, an example use case can be using the movement controls to fire a weapon by pressing harder on them, in an FPS game.

Other known specs of the Black Shark 4S include support for 120W fast charging and a 720Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate. The device’s display with be a 6.67-inch Samsung E4 AMOLED with a 144Hz refresh rate.

Previously, Black Shark had teased the upcoming phone’s gamer-centric design with an official poster, showing its back and sides. The phone will be available in gray and white colors and will sport a striped rear finish.

Further, the back cover of the phone uses “nano-lithography” with its rear panel shifting colors with changes in the angle or lighting.
