Black Shark 4 Pro


Nearly a year after it became official, the Black Shark 4 Pro is becoming available internationally. It joins the vanilla model, which has been available since last May, but the S version of the Pro isn't coming yet. That means the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset (the 4S Pro had the 888+). Two configurations are available – 8/128 GB and 12/256 GB (the 16/512 GB capacity remains exclusive to China). Out of the box it will run JOYUI 12.5, which is based on MIUI 12.5.

Interestingly, the global Black Shark 4 Pro will support the full 120W charging speed as the Chinese version. Previously we’ve seen international versions of gaming phones charge notably slower than their Chinese counterparts.

The 4 Pro starts at US$ 580 and is available in Shadow Black, Misty Grey and Cosmos Black.
