Global Launch of the Black Shark 5 Series Gaming Phone: Specs, Price, and Availability

 The Black Shark 5 series, the company's newest addition to gaming phones, has been officially launched in the global market. The company has released the Black Shark 5 and Black Shark 5 Pro gaming phones as part of this series.

Black Shark has kept all of the great features of its predecessors while also adding some new and interesting additions and upgrades that will elevate your gaming experience. The latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, upgraded magnetic pop-up triggers, ultra-responsive 144Hz display, anti-gravity dual-VC cooling, and 120W hypercharge are among the features of the Black Shark 5 series. So, let's look at the specifications.

Advanced Anti-Gravity Dual VC Liquid Cooling Technology: Black Shark is well-known in the gaming and e-sports worlds, so it's important to see how well it performs in games. The ability to cool a gaming smartphone is one of the most important features. It's natural for your phone to heat up when you play high-end, energy-intensive games for long periods of time, which not only slows down your performance but also damages your battery. The latest Black Shark 5 Pro's cooling system has been upgraded to the new anti-gravity dual VC liquid cooling system to address the issue of overheating. Two VC liquid cooling plates with a combined area of 5320mm2 are used in this system.

A direct-touch copper alloy design connects the main heat sources, such as the SoC, 5G antenna, and battery, to this VC liquid cold plate, accelerating heat dissipation from core heat sources to all edges of the chassis and ensuring stable performance. Advanced cooling materials, such as graphite sheets, graphene, and phase change heat material, are also commonly used to improve heat dissipation efficiency and uniformity. Additionally, the GameEngine of the Black Shark 5 series has been optimised with new Thermal Control and AI process monitoring to achieve a more stable frame rate. This means that the Black Shark 5 features advanced cooling technology for unrivalled gaming performance.

Performance:

The Black Shark 5 Pro features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, as well as 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB / 256GB storage. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is the most advanced 5G platform, featuring a 4nm process, a new Cortex-X2 CPU with a clock speed of up to 3.0 GHz, and a re-architected Qualcomm® AdrenoTM GPU that is 25% more efficient and delivers 50% faster graphics rendering. The phone also comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound and Qualcomm aptX lossless audio technology, which provides a high-quality, detailed, and crystal-clear audio experience.

Special Gaming Controls:

From dual-zone pressure-sensitive displays to magnetic pop-up triggers, Black Shark has been pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming controls for years. The company has increased the effective pressure-sensitive area by 16 percent in the Black Shark 5 series, improving gaming control. Additionally, the signature second-generation magnetic pop-up triggers feature a seven-level magnetic drive lift and gaming-grade microswitches, providing a crisp and comfortable console-level gaming experience.

Display and Battery:

The Black Shark 5 Pro features an industry-leading 6.67-inch OLED E-Sport display with 10-bit colour depth, DCI-P3 colour gamut, HDR 10+, and SGS eyecare protection, as well as industry-leading brightness, contrast, colour accuracy, and colour performance. The smartphone has a 4650mAh battery and supports 120W hypercharge, which allows you to charge your phone to 100% in 15 minutes.

Operating System:

The phone runs on the JOYUI 13 gaming system, which is based on MIUI 13 and inherits many of its features, including the Mi-Light Cone animation framework, intuitive visuals, super wallpaper, and the system's natural notification sound, among others. During gaming, users can use Shark Space 4.0 on JOYUI 13 to quickly access network settings, performance adjustments, notification muting, and other features. Hardcore gamers will appreciate the special 'diving mode,' which allows them to avoid being interrupted by phone calls or messages while playing.
