Black Shark has officially launched the Black Shark 5 series, its newest addition to gaming phones in the global market.  Under this series, the company has launched Black Shark 5 and Black Shark 5 Pro gaming phones.

In this latest series, Black Shark has kept all the great features of its predecessors but got some new and interesting additions and upgrades that will take your gaming experience to the next level. The highlights of the Black Shark 5 series include the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, upgraded magnetic pop-up triggers, ultra-responsive 144Hz display, anti-gravity dual-VC cooling, and 120W hypercharge. So let’s take a look at the specs. 

Advanced Anti-Gravity Dual VC Liquid Cooling Technology:

Black Shark is famous in the gaming and e-sport arena so it’s imperative to check out its gaming performance. One of the most important factors in a gaming smartphone is its cooling ability. When you play high-end and energy-consuming games for hours, it’s natural for the phone to heat up which not only slows down your performance but also damages your battery. To solve this issue of overheating, the latest Black Shark 5 Pro’s cooling is upgraded to the new anti-gravity dual VC liquid cooling system. In this system, you use two VC liquid cooling plates that have a combined area of 5320mm². The new “anti-gravity” layer of the capillary structure on the VC liquid cooling plate increases liquid circulation speed. T

he main heat sources such as SoC, 5G antenna, and battery are connected to this VC liquid cold plate by a direct-touch copper alloy design, which accelerates heat dissipation from core heat sources to all edges of the chassis and ensures stable performance.  Also, advanced cooling materials like graphite sheets, graphene, and phase change heat material are widely used to enhance heat dissipation efficiently and evenly. Moreover, the Black Shark 5 series’s GameEngine is also optimized with the new Thermal Control and AI process monitoring to achieve a more stable frame rate. This means with Black Shark 5, you get an advanced cooling technology that gives you an unmatched gaming performance. 

Performance:

Black Shark 5 Pro comes with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and multiple memory options viz. 8GB / 12GB / 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB / 256GB storage. As the most advanced 5G platform, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is built with a 4nm process, the new Cortex-X2 CPU with a clock speed up to 3.0 GHz, and the re-architected Qualcomm® Adreno that is 25% more efficient and delivers 50% faster graphics rendering. Also to enhance your audio experience, the phone comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound and Qualcomm aptX lossless audio technology that delivers high quality, detailed, and crystal-clear audio experience.

Special Gaming Controls:

Black Shark has been pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming controls for years, from using dual-zone pressure-sensitive displays to magnetic pop-up triggers. In the Black Shark 5 series, the company has expanded the effective pressure-sensitive area by 16%, thereby enhancing the gaming control. Also, the signature second-generation magnetic pop-up triggers are built with a seven-level magnetic drive lift with gaming-grade microswitches, giving gamers a crisp and comfortable console-level gaming experience.

Display and Battery:

Black Shark 5 Pro comes with a 6.67” OLED E-Sport display with 10-bit color depth, DCI-P3 color gamut, HDR 10+, and SGS eyecare protection, featuring industry-leading brightness, contrast, color accuracy, and color performance. The smartphone is fueled by a 4650mAh battery and supports 120W hypercharge that charges your phone to 100% in just 15 minutes.

Operating System:

As for the operating system and user interface, the phone features the JOYUI 13 gaming system which is built on MIUI 13 and inherits most of its functions, such as the Mi-Light Cone animation framework, intuitive visuals, super wallpaper, and natural notification sound of the system, etc. Through Shark Space 4.0 on JOYUI 13, users can quickly access network settings, performance adjustments, notification muting, and other functions during gaming. The special  ‘diving mode’ is designed for hardcore players who want to avoid being interrupted by phone calls or messages while in-game.

Black Shark Joy Buds Pro

Along with the Black Shark 5 series, the company has also launched its latest Joy Buds Pro noise-canceling earphones. The earbuds come with a 12mm dynamic driver and Qualcomm QCC3056 chip that gives you a 24bit 96kHz sampling rate of high-quality music.
