The Black Shark Google Play Console listing reveals a few key specs
As per the Google Play Console listing, the Black Shark 4 will retain the FHD+ display measuring 1,080 x 2,400 pixels from the standard Black Shark 3. It will offer a pixel density of 440 pixels.
The listing reveals that the gaming smartphone will be powered by an outdated Snapdragon 835 processor and Adreno 540 GPU. We assume that this is an error and the device will house a flagship chipset, possibly the Snapdragon 888. We’ll update this post if the listing is modified. The Play Console listing reveals that the Black Shark 4 comes with 8GB RAM and we can expect more variants of the device. It will ship with Android 11 out of the box.
