Chinese tech company Black Shark is gearing up to introduce its latest gaming smartphones, called the 5 and 5 Pro, in its home country. The brand has released a teaser of the 5 series, suggesting that the handsets will debut in the coming days, possibly in early February. The vanilla model is codenamed Katyusha and the Pro variant is internally known as Patriot.
The Black Shark 5 Pro will be the company's most advanced gaming smartphone to date. The vanilla model, however, will share some of its specifications with the 4S Pro model that was launched last year. The demand for gaming smartphones is on a rise and Black Shark aims to ward off competition from rivals like Lenovo, ASUS, and Nubia with its upcoming 5 series.
The official pricing and availability details of the Black Shark 5 and 5 Pro will be announced at the time of its launch. However, going by the leaked specifications, the line-up may start around Rs. 40,000.
The Black Shark 5 and 5 Pro will likely feature a punch-hole design with slim bezels and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The former will bear a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ E4 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 720Hz touch sampling rate, while the latter will get a 6.8-inch QHD+ AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate.
The camera details of the Black Shark 5 and 5 Pro are scarce but they are expected to feature a triple camera module on the rear side and a single selfie snapper up front. The former will pack a 4,600mAh battery with 120W fast-charging support, whereas the latter will house a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast-charging capability.
Under the hood, the Black Shark 5 will be powered by a Snapdragon 888+ 5G chipset while the 5 Pro model will be fueled by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. At the heart, they will boot Android 12-based JoyUI. For connectivity, they offer support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, a headphone jack, and a Type-C port.
