Thinking about upgrading your Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro to a Black Shark 5 Pro ? Or are you just curious to know if the price difference is worth it?
We'll let you answer these questions yourself after you review our comparison.
How is the Black Shark 5 Pro better than the Black Shark 4 Pro?
The first thing to know is what differences have made Xiaomi think this new release is worthwhile. And the update from Android 11 to Android 12 , as well as the 5G support that the Black Shark 5 Pro has, definitely makes it worthwhile. This means:
- Faster speed on your phone
- Less latency
- Important security updates, for example, with Black Shark 5 Pro you have the option to privacy your location
- File downloads are 33.33% faster
- Better performance
- Greater functions in general.
If that's not enough for you because camera sharpness is your thing, there are also significant changes to the new version's main camera, which goes from 64MP to 108MP , and from 8MP to 13MP . Additionally, the Black Shark 5 Pro features a Blackside Illuminated Sensor, a type of image sensor that offers better image quality in low-light conditions by increasing its sharpness. Although it must be said, the built-in optical image stabilizer is still missing.
We also checked the scores generated on Antutu, the benchmarking app that every device released must use to impartially measure its performance. The Xiaomi Black Shark 5 Pro's score on this app was 995,000, which is 16% higher than its predecessor.
This test measures the GPU, i.e., the graphics power of the mobile device, and 3D game performance; it also measures the CPU, which is used to understand 2D image processing; RAM, which measures data transfer speed; and the user experience, focusing on screen scrolling and web page display performance.
And as for the price, there's a slight difference that you might not even notice if you buy it through GSMPRO.CL, so feel free to visit our Xiaomi Black Shark cell phone store to compare prices.
