The display remains visible even outdoors under direct sunlight. Nonetheless, all discomfort was alleviated the second we switched over into Shark Mode to start gaming, where obviously, a larger display is much more preferred.Similar to the non-Pro version, the Black Shark 3 Pro has a 90Hz refresh rate and an AMOLED panel that offers great colours. This means that one-handed use might be a challenge for those with smaller hands. The Pro was even larger than our hands, and using it horizontally was easier than using it vertically. MEMC Technology add frames from 25Hz to 90Hz 10Bit ColorThe display and overall body size of the Black Shark 3 Pro is significantly larger than the Black Shark 3.Instead of the latter’s 6.67”, the Pro has a 7.1” display which can pose as an obstacle when it comes to day-to-day use of the phone.
Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Review Series And Parallel
Design and Mechanical TriggersThe structural design of the Black Shark 3 Pro is largely identical to its smaller counterpart. We’d highly recommend users to do the same too. When setting up the phone, the first thing we did was to change the phone’s refresh rate to 90Hz so that we could enjoy smoother performance. This means that the battery uses the “series” mode while charging, and switches to “parallel” mode if the phone is being used and discharging at the same Software and SetupThe Black Shark 3 Pro runs on the JOYUI 11 based on Android 10. It sports 65W hyper charging, and is also the world’s first dual battery with series and parallel charging.
Furthermore, these triggers are meant to be customizable via Master Control (both sides of the trigger can do different things), and they are said to be able to withstand more than 300,000 lifts and over a million clicks. They also felt responsive and comfortable to use for long periods of time. These triggers lie flush on the side of the phone, and automatically pop up as soon as you enter Shark Space.For us, we tested them while playing Call of Duty Mobile, and were very impressed with how seamlessly activated they were. The typical Black Shark-look is also visible on this model as it sports the popular X-Design on its back that is known to provide better grip and stable connection.The key difference between both models is that the Pro features concealed mechanical pop-up triggers on its right side.
Check out our video or our Black Shark 3 review for a detailed look at this! Camera, Performance and AccessoriesThe Black Shark 3 Pro is largely identical to its non-Pro version in terms of cameras and performance. The touch input and response rate were impressive, and coupled with the greatest touch sensing in the world (which the Black Shark 3 Pro boasts), gamers will definitely be ahead of the game. Additionally, the touch screen was finally able to just function as a touch screen – all we had to focus on aiming because the shooting was done via the triggers.Overall, the triggers helped to make the gaming experience feel quite instantaneous and seamless. We configured ours so that the left side would be for aiming in, and the right would be for shooting while playing Call of Duty Mobile.For things like sniping, the added feature made it feel as if we were playing on a console.
Sandwich Liquid Cooling: The phone comes with an in-built 4th Gen “Sandwich” Liquid Cooling System. We’ve done a separate review for this too – check out our video to find out more! Fun Cooler: As with all Xiaomi phones, the phone can be paired with accessories like the Fun Cooler which is meant to help cool down your device. RGB backlights: Similar to all its predecessors, the phone also features RGB backlights. Processor: The Black Shark 3 Pro is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 which is incredibly powerful. The front camera is a 20MP capable of shooting at 1080p 30fps.
Thus, making the Pro version’s data rate and battery optimisation significantly superior. A key difference that we noticed between these two is that the LPDDR5 provides better data transfer speed (up to 50%) at a lower power consumption (up to 30%). The phone's thermal components are also kept away from your hands to result in lower peak temperatures.Unlike the Black Shark 3 (which has the LPRRD4X), the Pro version uses the LPDDR5.
Either way, it’s undeniable that your gaming experience will already be elevated whether with the Black Shark 3 or the Black Shark 3 Pro. If you wouldn’t mind slightly lower RAM power and don’t see a need for the mechanical triggers, the non-Pro version is great on its own too. It also sports mechanical triggers and a large 7.1” screen that can do much to elevate the gaming experience, and it is accompanied by a whopping 5000mAh battery.Personally, we think that both phones are impressive in their own ways, and do well to cater to what gamers are looking for. However, the Black Shark 3 Pro has faster reading and writing speeds thanks to its LPDDR5 RAM.
