Hey what's up everybody? Sami here.
Today we are going to take a look at the Black Shark 5.
Why not 5 Pro? Because I've already done that review video about it several months ago
or maybe because I don't have enough subscribers...
Anyway, this is the global version.
The video I did before was the Chinese version.
Now without further ado, let's get started.
Black Shark, you have some information here what I got is 8gigs plus 128 gigs of storage.
Explorer grey.
Five.
Under the ordinary reality, an extraordinary journey shall begin.
.....
oh this is much better than the Chinese slogan,
you know the Chinese slogan always feels embarrassed to read it out.
Open this insert we got a pin, also some paperwork and a phone case oh the Black Shark some stickers
and a manual that you'll never gonna read.
The case whoa wow so premium feels so smooth huh
let's put it aside and check out what else we got and then we have the 120 watts faster charger
can you believe that crazy 120 watts charger wow
thumbs up for that. Also of course we have the type c charging cable.
Alright that's all the stuff you can get from the box now let's get down to the phone
oh not yet okay
super cool isn't it
oh wow that is the magnetic fan,
I can feel it, let's just open it: stickers
wipes, type c to type c cable. all right that's for the magnetic fan.
Alright moving to the phone let's check out the design first. This is their camera module
for the specs everything I listed them on the screen all right on top we have the speaker
and the noise cancelling mic moving to the right side oh that is the important part
so that's the shoulder key and that's the trigger button. I'm not sure which one you like most like
this one on the Red Magic or the one on the Black Shark. The Red Magic you know no physical keys just
the virtual keys, touch and you will trigger actions. Moving to the bottom we have another speaker
type c and sim card slot so dual sim card dual standby does not support sd card expansion and here the
volume rocker and that's basically the design.
Alright, moving to the specs. The Black Shark 5 is
the entry-level model and as such doesn’t receive the top-of-the-line specs that you’ll find on the Pro.
But, for the money, it looks like it could be a very interesting mid-range option, even for non-gamers.
If you are interested in the Antutu Benchmark, here it is.
But for a gaming phone, you may have more interest in its gaming performance.
There is a Shark Space there that lists all the
games on your mobile. In the settings for each game, you can basically customize everything
from performance to display, like refresh rate, color enhancement, or even Touch adjustment, etc.
For a gaming phone, how can we miss the shoulder keys. Slide the trigger buttons
inwards to activate them. Here you can apply different features to customize the keys.
When in gaming, slide from the corner you will enter the Shortcuts block.
Here you can map different actions to your shoulder keys, basically the same like the
one on the RedMagic 7 series gaming phones. What’s more, it also comes with Magic Press,
which enables you to activate one action without accurate touching. To my surprise,
it even offers Motion Sensing. This is something that I haven’t found on other gaming phones.
So for such gaming assistance, the Black Shark 5 has so much to offer.
I guess those dedicated gamers would find this super useful.
For newbies, definitely you have to take sometime to learn if you are not familiar with it.
But don’t worry too much about it as the phone comes with a Player Manual app,
which they offer a very detailed tutorial.
For me, my favorite feature of course is the Shark Chan. You can set it as your wallpaper,
for morning alarm,
or even charging effects.
And you can flirt with it when you are boring.
But yeah, let’s get down to the real gaming stuff. I played the PUBG for one hour straight and found
it’s smooth under normal settings. Then I tried the Genshin Impact for half an hour,
a much more demanding game and here is the FPS recording. The average FPS fluctuation is 58.6,
that’s not bad. Here is the temperature for the phone. Still manageable
considering this phone doesn’t come with a built-in fan. But if you want a fan,
Black Shark offers one too just as I unboxed in the beginning.
So overall, I’m pretty happy with Black Shark 5’s gaming performance. It requires a
bit learning curve but definitely offers one of the best gaming features on the market.
Alright that's the video i think for a specific niche, the Black Shark 5 has done a great job.
