Editorial report
Xiaomi Black Shark 5 RS technical sheet
The Xiaomi Black Shark 5 RS suits buyers who prioritize powerful hardware and a fast display, but its weight and below-most battery capacity are meaningful trade-offs. Its hardware is among the most powerful of its time, pairing 12 GB RAM with 256 GB storage. Its overall NeoScore is 6.7.
The 6.67-inch AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, a refresh rate among the highest of its time, and reaches 1300 nits peak brightness, higher than most displays of the period. Overall, its screen and design are better than most phones launched around the same time. The main camera's 64 MP resolution is also higher than that of most cameras of its time, and the camera overall is better than most. Connectivity is better than most as well, with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
The compromises are clear: at 220 g, it weighs more than most phones of its time, and its 4500 mAh battery has less capacity than most. Its 120 W charging, by contrast, is among the fastest of its time. The Black Shark 5 RS makes a strong case for buyers focused on hardware, a high-refresh display and fast charging. Those who put low weight or greater battery capacity first will find those priorities less well served.
