Editorial report
Black Shark BlackShark 3S technical sheet
The BlackShark 3S suits buyers looking for a gaming phone with a smooth display, provided its below-average peak brightness of 500 nits is an acceptable compromise. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display runs at 120Hz, better than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its 395 ppi density is above average, and resolution is 1080 × 2400 pixels.
The Snapdragon 865 records 726,800 in AnTuTu v10, better than most phones of its time. This configuration pairs 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM with 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The 64MP main camera uses a 1/1.72-inch sensor, larger than those in most phones launched around the same time; the camera overall is better than most. There is also a 13MP ultrawide camera.
The 4,720mAh battery is above average. Its 65W wired charging and 18W wireless charging are among the best of its time. Connectivity and performance hardware are also better than those of most phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 6.3, the BlackShark 3S makes most sense for buyers prioritizing gaming, a high-refresh-rate display and fast charging, while accepting its dimmer screen and 222g weight.
