Editorial report
Black Shark 4 Pro 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet
The Black Shark 4 Pro suits people looking for a gaming-focused phone with a fast display and powerful charging. Its trade-off is the body: at 220 g and 9.9 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.
The 6.67-inch AMOLED display pairs a 144 Hz refresh rate, among the highest of its time, with 1300-nit peak brightness, also among the highest. Performance is better than that of most phones launched around the same time, and its AnTuTu result of 869,700 is among the best. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 8 GB / 256 GB, 12 GB / 256 GB, and 16 GB / 512 GB.
The 64 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time, while the camera overall is typical. It lacks optical image stabilization. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2, and connectivity is among the best of its time. The 4500 mAh battery supports 120 W wired charging and 18 W wireless charging, both among the most powerful figures of the period. With an overall NeoScore of 6.6, the Black Shark 4 Pro is a fit for buyers who prioritize a high-refresh display and fast charging and can live with a heavier, thicker design.
