The segment of gaming smartphones exists and is constantly evolving, although it remains a tiny niche. Among those who are promoting the concept of a gaming smartphone to the masses, Xiaomi has created the Black Shark sub-brand specifically for these purposes. This year, the announcement of the fourth generation of devices for gamers has already taken place; and now, apparently, the company is preparing its improved versions.
It was reported that Black Shark 4S and Black Shark 4S Pro will be released by the end of the year. And the news of the release of these smartphones was brought by the multiplayer online game MOBA (also known as King of Glory), which is popular in China. This game is available for iOS and Android devices.
Like most popular mobile games, MOBA supports higher frame rates on some devices. The game’s support page has recently been updated to include more compatible devices that support higher frame rates.
In particular, models such as Huawei Nova 9, Realme GT Neo 2, Black Shark 4S and Black Shark 4S Pro have been added. How they will differ from the new items from Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro is unknown. We can only say with a high degree of confidence that the new devices will be better in performance due to the installation of the Snapdragon 888+ chip.
