Editorial report

Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro technical sheet

The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro suits people who prioritize powerful hardware and a high-refresh-rate display. Its main trade-offs are weight and thickness: at 220 g and 9.9 mm, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.

The 6.67-inch AMOLED display reaches 144 Hz and 1300 nits peak brightness. Both its refresh rate and peak brightness are among the highest of phones launched around the same time. Its hardware ranks among the best of its time. It has 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, capacities also among the highest then. The battery capacity is 4500 mAh, typical for its time, while 120 W fast charging is among the most powerful.

The main camera has 64 MP resolution, better than most phones of its time on that specification, but it has no optical image stabilization. It records 4K video at 60 fps and is joined by an ultra-wide camera and a macro camera. Overall, the Black Shark 4 Pro stands better than most phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 6.4. It is suited to people looking for standout hardware, a fast display, and very powerful charging who are comfortable with a heavy, thick phone.
