Black Shark is one of the best projects
financed by Xiaomi. It designs only gaming smartphones and accessories. Thus,
this company is competing with such brands and companies as the ASUS ROG
series, Nubia’s Red Magic series, Razer brand products, etc. Making gaming
products is not easy. They require better hardware, more efficient cooling, and
muscular design. But Black Shark products could do this quite successfully,
finding their place in the market. However, to boost sales, any company needs
to bring new products from time to time. But there is another approach – they
can bring the modified, customized, or just larger storage variant of the
existing products. Today, on September 7, the Black Shark 3S 16GB + 512GB top-of-the-line
version went on sale at Xiaomi Mall. It came at a price of 4799 yuan (US$ 702).
However, the initial pricing was the
following: CNY 3999 (US$ 573) for the 12/128GB, CNY 4299 (US$ 616) for 12/256GB, and
CNY 4799 (US$ 687) for 12/512GB storage variants. The Black Shark 3S is a new
generation of gaming smartphone jointly created by Black Shark Technology and
Tencent. It uses a 6.67-inch Samsung AMOLED display with a refresh rate of
120Hz, a Snapdragon 865 processor, a 4720mAh battery supporting 65W flash
charging, and many more. The new Black Shark 3s runs on upgraded Joy UI 12
based on Android 10.
According to the official introduction,
the Black Shark 3S supports the most 120Hz high frame rate games. For some
low-frame rate games and videos, it can also provide a 120Hz game and movie
viewing experience through MEMC3.0 motion compensation technology. It also has
DC dimming, Quadruple eye protection, E3 luminescent material. Also, it is
HDR10 certified and has ΔE<1 and JNCD<0.55. This represents great color
accuracy on the display.
More importantly, the Black Shark 3S
supports Play Screencasting. This is a brand new screencasting solution created
by Black Shark Technology for gaming scenarios. With the help of the USB3.0
high-speed transmission channel, it uses the UVC transmission protocol to
transmit the smartphone screen to the PC at high-definition 60Hz. Through the
Black Shark’s proprietary Changwan screen projection client, players can
directly control the smartphone on the PC and have a large screen view. With
the precise control of the keyboard and mouse, mobile game players can also
experience the fun of the end game.
