Editorial report
Xiaomi Black Shark 4S technical sheet
The Xiaomi Black Shark 4S suits buyers looking for a gaming-focused phone with hardware among the most powerful of its time. Its physical pop-up gaming triggers provide dedicated controls, while its 210 g weight and 9.9 mm thickness are greater than those of most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.67″ Super AMOLED display combines a 144 Hz refresh rate, among the highest of its time, with 1,300 nits of peak brightness, higher than on most phones of that period. The Snapdragon 870 comes with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; both capacities exceed what most phones of its time offer. Its 4,500 mAh battery supports 120 W charging, among the fastest charging specifications of its time.
The 48 MP camera and 8 MP ultrawide camera contribute to an overall camera setup better than that of most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity also stands better than most, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.2. The overall NeoScore is 6.6. For buyers who prioritize gaming controls, a fast display, and powerful hardware, the Black Shark 4S makes a strong case; its greater weight and thickness are the main drawbacks.
