Editorial report
Black Shark 5 RS technical sheet
The Black Shark 5 RS suits buyers looking for a gaming-focused phone: it pairs gaming buttons with a 144 Hz AMOLED display, one of the highest refresh rates among phones of its time. Its 1,300-nit peak brightness is also higher than that of most phone displays from the same period. The trade-off is a 220 g body measuring 9.9 mm thick, heavier and thicker than most of its contemporaries.
Performance and hardware are better than those of most phones launched around the same time. The Snapdragon 888+ is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, more storage than most phones of its time; the range also includes a 12 GB RAM / 256 GB configuration. Connectivity is among the best of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and dual SIM.
Its 120 W charging power is among the highest of the period, but the 4,500 mAh battery has less capacity than most. The camera is typical overall: its 64 MP resolution exceeds that of most phones of its time, though it has no optical image stabilization. This configuration also has no Google Services.
With a NeoScore of 6.4, the Black Shark 5 RS is an appealing choice for anyone prioritizing a fast display, gaming features, and connectivity while accepting a heavy body, lower battery capacity, and no Google Services.
