Xiaomi Black Shark 6 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Black Shark 6 - evolutionary approach

The line of gaming smartphones from the Chinese company Xiaomi has always been popular with the audience. The devices combined a reasonable price tag, branded retractable mechanical trigger keys and excellent performance, without disappointing in other aspects. The hero of today's review is the most affordable model in the updated series, but the difference with its predecessor is quite noticeable.

The appearance of the novelty is now more original thanks to the modified block of three photomodules. Also, it is impossible not to note the reduced screen bezels, a more ergonomic shape of the glass and metal case. The side fingerprint sensor and high-quality oleophobic coating only enhance the attractiveness of the device. The AMOLED screen has undergone less metamorphosis. The standard FullHD + resolution for the price category, a good margin of brightness and a 120-Hz image refresh rate may not delight sophisticated users, but they certainly will not disappoint them.

The technical characteristics are the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU, 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Adreno 730 video adapter. This bundle is noticeably more productive than the previous one, it guarantees excellent functioning of any games at maximum graphics presets. Fans of Genshin Impact, PUBG, Call Of Duty and other popular resource-intensive titles will be satisfied. Competitive advantages are both energy efficiency and moderate heating even after long gameplay sessions. A 5000mAh battery will require searching for the nearest outlets only after a day and a half of work with a compact assistant. Fast charging at 120W is also a reason to praise the battery used. The buyer is offered a choice of 128 or 256GB of ROM, we strongly recommend that you take a closer look at the second option due to the lack of a slot for microSD cards.

108-, 8- and 2-megapixel photomodules led by the Samsung HM6 sensor without optical stabilization are a relatively good, if not the best tool for photography. Daytime shots are almost impossible to distinguish from those made on flagship camera phones in terms of detail, color reproduction and other parameters. With evening photos, everything is more difficult. In such lighting conditions, the results of photo shoots can be spoiled by noise or blurry small objects. But the stereo speakers can only be praised. Such a loud and rich sound needs to be looked for. Of course, the device also supports 5G networks and NFC contactless payments. As a result, a balanced, beautiful gadget will be able to find its way to the hearts of both gamers and just lovers of high-quality mobile electronics.
