Xiaomi Black Shark 5S Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
Xiaomi Black Shark 5S Overview
Xiaomi Black Shark 5S is a budget flagship for gamers
There are more and more fans of Android games every year. The reason for this is not only the gradual reduction in the cost of devices with productive CPUs, but also the progress of graphics and gameplay of the game projects themselves. That is why the Chinese Xiaomi company is increasingly betting on powerful smartphones with a focus on sophisticated gamers.
The appearance of the novelty is bright, stylish, but not overly catchy. The signature texture of the glass body is preserved, as is the original block of three cameras, and retractable mechanical trigger buttons on the side metal edge have not disappeared. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display is endowed with the highest refresh rate of 144 hertz, excellent touch panel responsiveness to any touch. The screen bezels are quite narrow, with a 16-megapixel selfie camera located at the top of the AMOLED panel. At FullHD + resolution, it makes no sense to hope for a record-breaking image clarity, however, individual pixels are still not visible, and power consumption is reduced. The parameters of brightness and contrast, the quality of the oleophobic coating are not satisfactory.
The technical specifications have been improved, now the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Adeno 650 video core are providing decent performance. The processor is hotter than its predecessor, but throttling is actually defeated by a successful passive cooling system. Enjoy the insanely beautiful Genshin Impact and Fortnite at maximum graphics settings for hours on end. The device heats up noticeably, but there is still no serious discomfort. The 4800mAh battery shows an average of 7-8 hours of active screen time, but fast charging with a power of 120W sets the battery apart from the opponents' decisions. 20 minutes and you can not think about looking for outlets for about a day and a half. The size of the internal storage has reached 128/256GB, problems with the amount of ROM will occur for single users.
But the photo opportunities do not look so impressive. 64-, 13- and 2-megapixel photomodules without optical stabilization will definitely not suit real mobile photographers, but this does not mean that using the installed sensors, you cannot get detailed daytime shots without noise and blur. Difficulties will appear only in the evening and night shooting. Stereo sound remains a strong point of the phablet, even listening to your favorite music will bring pleasure. NFC contactless payments, support for 5G networks and the MIUI functional shell complete the list of advantages of the device, which fully justifies the money requested for it.
