Editor Rating
4.2/5

Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro is the fourth generation flagship gaming smartphone from the popular Chinese brand, which brings pro-level performance at a relatively affordable price. You get a solid glass body that is wrapped around a sturdy metal frame. The rear panel features a unique X-shaped design that is matched by the wallpaper on display. The camera module has been trimmed down to a slim horizontal pill-shaped cutout that sits in the centre near the top. The display is flat and vibrant, and super responsive, with up to 144Hz refresh rate. It has barely any bezels, and the selfie camera is located in the top centre, inside a tiny punch-hole cutout.
