Editorial report
Black Shark BlackShark 3 Pro 12 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The BlackShark 3 Pro is built for mobile gaming, with its 253 g weight as the main trade-off: it is among the heaviest phones of its time. Its 7.1-inch AMOLED display has a 1440 × 3120 px resolution and 484 ppi density, among the highest of phones launched around the same time. Peak brightness of 500 nits is above average, while the 90 Hz refresh rate is average for its era.
Its AnTuTu v10 result of 743,500 is among the highest of its time. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the BlackShark 3 Pro was also sold in 8 GB / 128 GB, 8 GB / 256 GB, 12 GB / 256 GB, and 12 GB / 512 GB configurations. The main camera uses a 1/1.72″ sensor, larger than in most phones of its time, and its 64 MP resolution is among the highest. It records 4K video, but has no optical image stabilization.
The 5000 mAh battery holds more capacity than most phones launched around the same time. Its 65 W wired charging and 18 W wireless charging are among the most powerful of its time. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, dual SIM, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
The overall NeoScore is 6.4, among the best of phones launched around the same time. It suits buyers who prioritize gaming, a detailed display, and fast charging, and can live with a notably heavy phone.
