Black Shark 5 Pro | Unboxing & Gaming Review

Unboxing Xiaomi's Black Shark 5 Pro, with a hands-on review of the gaming features and performance with Genshin Impact etc. One of the best mid-range gamer smartphones just got better with this 2022 upgrade, although the Black Shark 5 Pro isn't a huge evolution over last year's model. Here's a closer look at the Shark Space UI, specs, camera tech and other bits.

As you'd hope from a powerful gaming phone, this handset can cope with Genshin, PubG, Call of Duty Mobile, everything you throw at it. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 handles it all, while the Black Shark 5 Pro doesn't heat up to a troublesome degree thanks to the dual vapor chamber design. You also get that Shark Space UI, packed with great game tools, and dedicated shoulder buttons.

However, it isn't quite as impressive as the ROG Phone and Red Magic rivals in some areas. The display's selfie orifice, lack of expandable storage, no headphone jack and mediocre battery life are some of the issues I found while testing out the Black Shark 5 Pro. All the same, it's packing some solid specs and the price ain't bad.

The Black Shark 5 Pro seems like a minor upgrade for gamers over previous generations, but are you tempted? Be great to hear from you! Cheers

Nice you mentioned the Black Shark only aloud to have 2 Sim Cards in the card slot. Great work and keep doing what you love

Mate you always smash the reviews I cannot understand how you don't have a good few million subscribers sure they will come very soon 👍👍👍

Hey Chris, when you do the performance test and talk about the heat, can you give us a temperature? It'll give everyone an idea of how toasty a phone gets.

For gaming it is absolutely a beast. I had BS4 pro and used it for a year. No I wanted to try a different brand so I switch to Red Magic 7s pro. I honesty prefer BS with the build quality and the speaker.

What is going on with this no sd card trend this year? Did everybody realize at once that not including a sd card slot is the fastest way to make the user upgrade to the latest model? What's next? Less battery cycles are good for the environment, so let's make your battery live less?

In case your six! One of the many reasons I'm a subscriber

I can pickup new black shark 4 or $574 AUD. Worth getting at this price or focus on a Samsung A series phone?

[mikehunt]

no 3.5mm jack on a gaming phone are they smoking crack? only "gaming" phone i see being worth it is the red magic series with active cooling. they're the only devices I've seen that can actually sustain high performance, everything else throttles

[NanCifr]

which is better BlackShark 5Pro or BlackShark 4Pro ?

[navi-uidq]

"in case you're six" 💀💀💀 impeccable comedic timing

[kamrankawishbilal]

if not for that weird looking camera module, its a pretty good looking phone

I would be curious too see how well an older model Black Shark performs in comparison . I have a standard Black Shark 3 - 256 / 12 GB model. I wouldnt mind seeing how the Black Shark 4 stands against the other 2 in gaming performance!??
