The Black Shark 4 Pro features a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a centered hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. The display refreshes at 144Hz and offers up to 720Hz touch sampling rate, along with HDR10+ certification and 1,300 nits of peak brightness. On the inside, the phone packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chip, coupled with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The Black Shark 4 Pro features a triple camera setup on the back, featuring a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP macro camera. Over on the front, it has a 20MP selfie shooter. Rounding off the hardware is a 4,500mAh battery, which offers support for 120W wired fast charging. Other noteworthy features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and customizable shoulder triggers for gaming.

In terms of connectivity, the Black Shark 4 Pro offers 5G and 4G support, along with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC. The device runs Black Shark’s custom Android skin JoyUI 12.5 out of the box. It’s based on Xiaomi’s MIUI 12.5 skin, but we’re not sure if it’s built on top of Android 11 or Android 12. Sadly, Black Shark’s product page for the device doesn’t specify the Android version. We’ll update this post as soon as Black Shark confirms the Android version.
