Black Shark 5 Pro Unboxing & Review - The Ultimate (Affordable) Gaming Phone!

I got a BS Pro 2 in November 2020 and it's still going strong. I would HIGHLY recommend these phones to anyone considering them for a gaming device/phone. They're remarkable.

[@bananafone1414]

get another phone, this one is meant for gaming,and if you are barely going to do that then its not worth it, i think samsung s20 fe is better for you, its pretty good and also has an sd card slot, which should let you put however much space you want, not just 512gb.

Nice Video Tom !! But it's a gaming phone only when it has 3.5mm audio port . Wired Audio is Just Better in many ways. So it would be helpful if You can check the Bluetooth audio experience while gameplay in your next gaming phone review, i own ROG Phone 3 and the 3.5mm to type C adapter beats all the bluetooth earphones i tested which include oneplus bullets, nothing ear 1, jbl endurance run bt and samsung buds pro.

[@samatherton734]

I want to know how you feel this compares to the Poco F4 GT (or Redmi equivalent) as I havent seen a good comparison between the two done directly. With the Poco being so similar internally and front side I've basically figured the Poco F4 GT is an updated Xiaomi 11T Pro with triggers and an 8gen1 plus an IMX686 primary sensor, and a smaller battery to make room for the Liquidcool Tech 3.0, and the Black Shark 5 pro is a Xiaomi 11T Pro with triggers and an 8gen1 but keeps the S5KHM2 primary sensor. They all three have simalar dimensions and weight, the same 120w charging, nearly the same 6.67" HD+ HDR panel with the Poco having same amoled but gets a better selfie camera and the Black Shark gets 144hz oled panel but the same selfie camera. I'm pretty sure the Poco even has the same camera features and modes as the 11T Pro but because its an IMX686 loses the 8k functionality. From what I hear the Poco has superior sensors but from a previous generation so have less modern functionality in terms of read out speed but still haveing great rendition ect so better images that are limited to 4k and the Black Shark 5 pro doesnt even get that benefit but costs more. So $100 more for a 144hz oled vs 120hz amoled - a direct camera comparison WOULD BE AWESOME!

[@SaucyMayo]

The poco f4 gt has extremely bad throttling. I mean horrendous throttling. Down to 50% performance after 30 minutes of gaming

[@samatherton734]

@@SaucyMayo cant comment on that from any sort of personal experience and have no idea what kind of climate you live in which might impact that but i heard good things about the device from the guy that helped me pick the OnePlus 10 Pro - the deciding factor was my service carrier compatibility. So far its the best phone I've ever had, taking care of just about every issue I had with the regular 9(namely battery and heat) doing everything easy and being the first time I've seen a 3DMARK Wildlife score come back with "Maxed Out" which was cool...

The external design is not different from bs 4, and so I'm not buying this anyway until bs returns to their alien looking design they had in bs2 and bs3...also if they can make us use gesture navigation while using custom launcher like Nova 7, then I might have a rethink...that i can't use gesture nav while using nova launcher made me regret buying bs4...

[@JstormZx]

Lol this... Unfortunately though Xiaomi is too selfish for that. I started my entire channel because of miui refusing to give you gestures on third party launchers. It was tolerable on 12.5, you could use FNG as a replacement after carrying out some tricks, but now on memeui 13, it's next to impossible. Xiaomi really disappointed with that. At least on other android skins you can use gestures but the only downside is smooth animations/transitions get ruined. But they still let you. And that's great. The main blame goes to Google though, for *making it possible* for gestures to be forcefully integrated to the system launcher back in android 10. Bad move.
