I've found an amazing trick to drastically reduce heating while gaming on my phone, and I've never heard anyone talk about it. Basically, plug your phone in and charge it to 100%, and then game with your phone plugged in, it'll draw power from the power supply and won't heat your battery up at all, drastically reducing heating.

that is so crazy, 50°c and yet no throttling at all??? performance wise this is the beast i guess if youre really a hardcore mobile gamer. tho the battery life and 3.5 jack can be a deal breaker for some people.

A very good review... not sure why so little views compering to other black shark 5 pro review.. seems genuine and very professional.
made me think twice. thanks a lot.

its nice to see you get these phones too early!
this is big improvment in your channel, for me you are the best phones reviewer!

I remember being thrilled by my first 18w charger, just 3 years ago. It wasn’t even bundled with my phone and was bought separately. Things have moved very fast on charging tech.

Salute to you for reviewing phones that nobody else does 👌

2:24 I really disagree with you there, internal fans take up too much space and bring the additional risk of the motors failing. If an external fan fails it can much more easily be repaired or replaced. I just wish that phones offering proprietary Peltier coolers like this would finally go back to using unibody aluminium housings instead of glass for better heat dissipation (or maybe a cutout in the glass right over the processor made from aluminium).

Miss the days when notches/holes were unacceptable on gaming screens. At least the dual speakers are still good I guess....

Overheating is no small issue. I have seen many ROG phones, my friend Poco X3 Pro, Poco F3 and many more phones that heats up alot got hard bricked, it glitches the screen first, then just shut off completely, unable to turn on again. The heat basically fries the mainboard. Heat also does no good for the battery. I really don't get why people want their phone pushing that hard, yes the graphics is good, but if it heats alot it would get uncomfy to held and makes you don't wanna play anymore.

youtubers releases the video at the same time but i choose the best reviewer

BlackShark 5 Pro is equipped with an SSD, so the transfer speed is very high

[zahar]

I'm so confused about gaming phones that still does not have headphone jack.
Do they not learn from ROG?

[AsteroideaVelatida]

After the 3d mark stress test, please post the information about the temperature of the device

[mohamednabel]

can some one help i think this phone is good because i don't
play video games for that long I'm more of movie guy who likes to watch and download a lotof movies and shows and this phone is probably is the cheapest phone with 512 GB do i buy it or buy another regular phone

[ChristopherKovacs]

That cooler might be a peltier cooler, since it looks like there's a heatsink in there too.

Really sad to see no more headphone jack on this gaming phone but it's pretty understandable since Black Shark (BS) also releases new gaming wireless earbuds. Also I'm really curious to see the phone's inside since they are using UFS 3.1 / NVMe SSD internal storage. A 13 MP ultrawide camera is definitely a plus for a gaming phone and with the power of GCam, it can take decent shots just like any other 8 MP ultrawide camera but with a nice bump in resolution. Definitely a better release from Xiaomi rather than the upcoming Poco F5, a rebranded Redmi K40S. Personally, I would rather wait for a better version of BS 5 Pro with SD 8 Plus Gen 1 or MTK Dimensity 9000. But then again, since there is a middle tier BS 5 RS, which has the same design as BS 4 Pro with SD888+ for higher 12GB RAM variant, I won't be surprised that there will be a global version of BS 5 RS in case the sales for China version is very low.

This is probably one of the coolest and hottest smartphones of all time 😂

[LoveBoALife]

Hate the speakers position. As my hands tend to cover them while gaming if not using the trigger

[yodesuyo]

Everyday, a new phone I never heard about. Gone are the days where only htc, lg, samsung and apple made phones

Security patch of March is great for Xiaomi Phones. My Mi 11 was with January security patch until 2 days ago, Mi 11 European version.
