Editorial report
Xiaomi Black Shark 4 technical sheet
The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 suits people looking for a gaming phone who prioritize a fast display and a well-equipped hardware package. Its trade-off is the body: at 210 g and 9.9 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.
The 6.67-inch AMOLED display reaches 144 Hz and 1,300 nits peak brightness; both its refresh rate and brightness are among the best of its time. Performance and hardware are among the best, with 12 GB of RAM among the highest capacities and 256 GB of storage more than most phones offered. Physical pop-up gaming triggers add built-in game controls. Connectivity is better than most phones of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC.
Its 4,500 mAh battery capacity is typical, while 120 W fast charging is among the most powerful of its time. The camera system is typical: the rear main camera has 48 MP, alongside an 8 MP ultrawide and a 5 MP macro camera. Optical image stabilization is absent. Overall, the Black Shark 4 is better than most phones launched around the same time and earns a NeoScore of 6.3. It is a focused choice for people who value physical gaming controls, a high-refresh-rate display and fast charging, and are willing to accept a heavy, thick body.
