The Chinese manufacturer Black Shark, as a subsidiary brand of Chinese Xiaomi, is preparing its new gaming smartphone under the name Black Shark 5. It should be officially introduced in the coming weeks, and its specs should also include a new flagship processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ 5G.
Black Shark 5: The next generation of the gaming smartphone
The Black Shark 4 device series debuted in the first half of 2021. Just four months later, the manufacturer is preparing to launch the next generation of its gaming device. And exactly the information about this upcoming new model comes from leaks from a reliable Chinese source nicknamed Digital Chat Station.
According to this popular profile, the upcoming Black Shark smartphone will arrive with the code name KTUS-A0. This device is certified specifically under the name Black Shark 5. This clearly suggests that it will be a direct successor to the model Black Shark 4.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ 5G and 100W fast charging
The source also states that this gaming smartphone should be powered by the new flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ 5G processor. It also indicates that the device will likely offer support for 100W fast charging (it’s also likely that we’ll see a value up to 120W, similarly to its predecessor). More information about the upcoming smartphone is not known yet.
So, keeping the mentioned leaks in mind, the Black Shark 5 should represent a kind of upgraded fourth-generation model branded as Black Shark 4. It offered a 6.67″ Full HD+ Super AMOLED panel with a refresh rate up to 144 Hz and a sampling rate up to 720 Hz.
The biggest draw of the fourth generation were the magnetic mechanical buttons hidden in the side edge of the smartphone (similar to the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition or POCO F3 GT). Other features include LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, a liquid cooling system, 3,5 mm jack, stereo speakers, up to two USB-C ports, and a battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh.
