4.3/5

Xiaomi Black Shark 4S is a much-awaited upgrade to the base model Black Shark 4, which is the flagship smartphone gaming series sold by the popular Chinese brand. It features a sturdy glass body and a lightweight plastic frame. The rear panel has been given a unique design pattern that is both minimalist and futuristic. It also looks completely different depending on the colour your pick, especially in the limited edition Gundam version that is available at a little premium. The camera module has been placed inside a horizontal pill-shaped cutout that sits in the middle of the rear panel, near the top.
