The gaming smartphone market has exploded over the past few years, but Black Shark is a brand that was the first to make its move in the segment. This company has focused on hardware-hungry users, with their power-packed devices, perfectly suited for heavy gamers. And now, the brand is rolling out the fifth generation of its gaming phone in the market. This phone features a 6.67-inch display, offering Full HD+ resolution at 1080x2400 pixels. Because of which, the screen offers pixel density of 395 PPI. The front display also has a notch that houses the front camera. The phone comes powered by the latest octa-core Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset from Qualcomm. It gets paired with 8GB RAM for high-end performance that you expect from a device in this bracket. You get 128GB onboard storage that should suffice for downloaded apps, photos, and videos as well. But just because this a gaming phone, does not mean it lacks in the imaging department. The Black Shark 5 has a triple rear camera setup. This consists of 64MP sensor, 13MP wide-angle sensor, and 5MP depth sensor. While on the front, the phone gets 20MP sensor. Black Shark will give you adequate backup with its 4720mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging via USB Type C. Other features on the phone are on-screen fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, and face unlock. Other gaming mobiles worth checking out includes the ROG Phone 3, Black Shark 2 and the Black Shark 3s.
