Editor Rating
4.3/5

Xiaomi Black Shark 4 is the latest smartphone to enter the popular Black Shark series of gaming smartphones on offer from the popular Chinese brand that features a brand new design and more powerful internals. The smartphone features a tough glass body that is wrapped around a lightweight plastic frame. The body also features pop-up physical triggers so you can play your games like you would on a proper console controller. The display is equally brilliant and gamer-focused, with a 144Hz refresh rate, a 720Hz touch sampling rate, and an 8.3ms response time that makes it feel even more responsive.
