General Black Shark 4 Pro Global Converted ROM

The Black Shark 4 Pro won’t work with LTE or 5G networks on most carriers — at least reliably. It’s compatible with a smattering of bands for AT&T and T-Mobile, but it’s not broad support in the slightest. It’s helpful that Xiaomi includes a tutorial for using the software, even if it’s all but required due to the added complexity of having so many features. In it, there are toggles that let you take advantage of this phone’s many impressive specs, like its 720Hz touch sampling rate, or a “Ludicrous Mode,” that pushes the specs to their limit. (It suggests that you buy an accessory to help keep the phone cool while this mode is active). At £429, the entry-level model is one of the cheapest dedicated gaming phones you can buy.

• Frankly, these triggers are awesome in competitive games, such as mobile shooter Call of Duty.
• They both have 6.67-inch OLED screens with a 144Hz refresh rate.
• If you previously rooted or modified the system (or other) partition of the phone in any way, flashing this stock ROM will overwrite all existing modified system files to replace them with factory software.
• If you are facing any software error on your device or any other application issue, it means your phone needs to flash.
• Jokes aside, we believe that this is regarding charging on planes.

From watching YouTube or some shows on HBO Max, to firing up some Xbox Game Pass or Genshin Impact, everything looks crisp and clean. Plus, I don’t have to worry about the accidental touches or the video wrapping over the edges. Around the rest of the phone, you’ll find a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom of the phone, placed next to the USB-C charging port. Another nice touch for a phone to include, and something we still are only seeing sporadically in phones. On the left side, there’s nothing to speak of other than the volume rocker and the SIM card slot. The spatialization of the sound is particularly information good, which is very useful for hearing the footsteps of your opponents when playing a multiplayer game.

• There is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, which comes into the market with a 5G integrated modem.
• Many times we face cellular network issues on almost every smartphone.
• If the phone is in a cool environment, it can still charge, but it will decrease the charging speed to manage the heat.
• Low-light shots were actually pretty decent if you held still for long enough.
• This isn’t just any old AMOLED display, Xiaomi went all out and got the high-quality E4 panel from Samsung.

The macro is not as bad as I expected, I was surprised by the beauty of some close-up shots. The manufacturer does not provide an official guarantee for software and security updates. So expect the bare minimum of one to two Android releases and three years of security updates. Unfortunately, we find the same problems as on MIUI such as ads in native applications (even the file manager). Black Shark informed me that there should be no ads in the global ROM and that the teams will work on removing them.

To Black Shark’s credit, this one minor change makes a world of difference for hand-feel, resistance to fingerprint smudges, and comfort when gaming for hours on end. The satin-like finish is cool to the touch and most users will likely appreciate the change in hardware.

Because right underneath the camera bump lies a triangular LED indicator, used to signal incoming calls, notifications, and other prompts. Black Shark lets you customize the color, pacing, and behavior of the LED in the settings, but I’ve become so used to keeping my phone face up that the feature is more of a gimmick than a tool.
