Over the last couple of weeks, there have been a number of launches for Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 powered smartphones. Now, it appears that Black Shark is also planning on launching a new high performance smartphone in the market.

The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station who shared the news on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). Looking at the social media post, the smartphone in question will be a high end model that had initially sported a 2K display, but now features a 1080p (likely FHD+) resolution. Furthermore, the Black Shark smartphone will reportedly be powered by a 4,790mAh battery pack and it uses a dual cell design with 100W fast charging support.

On the rear, the smartphone features a triple camera setup, with the primary sensor being a 64 megapixel IMX686 sensor, paired with a 13 megapixel lens and 2 megapixel shooter. Meanwhile, the front will house a 16 megapixel selfie camera. Apart from this, the tipster also stated that there is a good chance that this Black Shark phone will become the next flagship next year. Although, it is entirely likely that it is an upcoming refreshed model of an existing smartphone lineup as well.

Back in June 2022, the blogger had also revealed some other details regarding this smartphone. Back then, he mentioned the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, since the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 hadn’t been announced. During that time, we had assumed that the smartphone could be a part of the Black Shark 5S series, which will be the latest flagship entry from the Chinese brand.

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.

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.
