Best Budget Gaming Phone 2022 | Black Shark 4 Pro Review

[@relaxationmusiccertified3684]

"Battery level here dropped faster than boris johnson's approval ratings" you always got me laughing at your videos. love lots from the philippines. cheers!

[@JoseKarloGonzales]

The problem is Google. I bought my Black shark 4 pro last August i can say in my experience the battery can last for 3.5 hours playing Call of duty mobile in high graphics and high fps. While 2.5 hours in ultra graphics.

I don't like punch hole cameras but I think I would put up with it for a headphone jack I'm sick of not been able to listen to music and charge at the same time. Also stereo speakers and the triggers are a great plus. I was going to go for the mix 4 until I found out about the overheating problems

Although we know most gaming phones to have perfectly horrible cameras that suffer a lot this phone seems to have turned the game around. The outcomes are very good and can do it for a lot of random phone users

[@sarcasticallyanonymous6841]

@@devilkazumi578 yeah but think about it having a phone dedicated to gaming and having all these qualities of a normal user-friendly phone and is not centred on gaming alone. You can actually use a high-spec phone as a normal phone which by the way has high productivity.

[@mivanp2185]

Not being someone thats in the know about phones . But my son wants a phone for christmas . He likes to game on it . And budget upto £200 . Any help is massively appreciated .

[@leazhito2826]

I know this is 1 month old and maybe you already sorted it out, but if you have around 250 USD, I would take a look into the used market or Amazon Renewed. 200 pounds sounds low for a phone able to keep up somehow with modern titles, if your son is after titles such as Genshin Impact or emulation I would try to spare a bit more if possible. If not, you are not out of luck, due to options like the Redmi Note 11, Realme 9i or the Honor X8 existing. They are 4G smartphones due to the Snapdragon 680 they have, but if 5G is not a necessity I would look into them, the 680 can play a wide variety of games. Similar options could be the Oppo A98, all of these being under 199£. The Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro is way more powerful and 5G enabled due to the Snapdragon 860, and also has better specs in general like the display and camera system, if you manage to find one near your budget, I would say is a no brainer. The same goes to the better Poco F3 and F4, but not sure if you can find them below 300 pounds new. Do keep in mind I am writing this from UK friends experiences and some googling, as I am not actually from the UK. Tech Spurt is a good source for budget performance phones, and stuff like Google or Reddit can help you too. If you are still looking for options, I would read quick reviews of these and if possible, stretch a tad more for the best performance and daily usage experience possible. Hope it helped, have a good holiday!

[@mivanp2185]

@@leazhito2826 Thats a really useful and really appreciated response . I personally just get google phones for myself as I dont game on them etc . But I actually did end up getting a amazon nearly new redmi note 9 pro for £123 . I thought that was a really good deal. Ive checked it and its pristine ! Thanks again

[@leazhito2826]

@@mivanp2185 Good buy! The non 5G Pro model has a 720G, and if you got the 5G Pro one you get a beefier 750G. Regardless both are fine chips capable of gaming a bunch, and that price is excellent, leaves room to buy some gamer goodies like triggers or even a cooler maybe if your son is interested. Have an excellent day!

[@mivanp2185]

@@leazhito2826 So its a good buy . Yrah not long after I originally posted I bought it . Jumped on it . There is a tiny scratch on the side. But very small indeed . Ill look into those accessories you mentioned aswell . Thanks again ! Glad I bought when I did . Was thinking something better would come along but hopefully he will be happy with it ! Can you show me a link in regards to those triggers you mean ?

[@leazhito2826]

@@mivanp2185 Since your son likes gaming maybe some accesories to keep temperatures down and have that "gamer" feeling could make the experience better with a non-gaming centric device. Take a look into stores like Amazon or, a personal recommendation for this kind of gadgets, GizTop. I would check external coolers from different brands (Xiaomi makes a bunch of them, under the Black Shark sub brand, they are great) and if he is into shooter games or stuff alike some triggers from also Xiaomi, Lenovo, Oneplus, etc., can amp the experience even further. The magnetic version of the Black Shark Funcooler 2 goes for around 35 or 40 pounds on GizTop, and triggers are usually 10 to 20 (Lenovo sells a bundle with 2 triggers and finger sleeving which can be quite useful). It is just to amp the experience since your son likes gaming, do some research into these small gadgets and maybe you can find something viable. Sadly, cannot post links for some reason :(

Hello ! The speakers are better than the original black shark 4 or same ? Thanks!

[@issepai9264]

Hi Chris just wanted to say a massive thank you for the video I was about to buy it until I saw your review on the red magic 6 pro, between the 2 what would you recommend ?

[@nguyhiemnhan86]

How are the speakers compare with the common model

[@amma_004]

I have the phone I'm not really much of a gamer but I wanted to be able to play really good looking games at high fps and I noticed Fortnite wouldn't run above 45 fps at low to med graphics settings and that's pushing it. Genshin works great at 60 fps low to med graphics settings which makes no sense cod works, apex works, diablo works, black dessert works. If you're buying this phone you should have a great budget gaming media experience, just Fortnite won't run above 45 fps but I assume it's epic's fault not the phone just one pet peeve. 4 Morgan freemans out of 5

[@ForrestPump]

The battery life is really weird. I overcharged my phone with the 120w charger by like 15 minutes then played a game for 45 minutes+ and the battery went from 100 to 97

Since it purposed was gaming..then the question on how the battery will last somewhat non existent..the purpose of the gaming devices is to provide full gaming performance with all the power available..and capable to give gaming satisfaction as fast as possible..gaming with all you got..then if the battery runs out..take about half an hour to charges to full..and you can continue to gaming..if you wanted to buy a smartphone focusing how long the battery will last..then gaming smartphone are not for you..

@@mikiswordbreaker4805 he is not asking about battery life...he is asking about battery lifetime... because of the 120W the battery can be damaged after 5 to 6 years and would not last more than 5 minutes if you play a game...so you need to replace the battery... it's just an example i am not talking about this phone in particular.
