Recently, we learned that the former Xiaomi sub-brand Black Shark will announce the next generation (and possibly the last generation) of its gaming smartphone series on March 30th. At this event, we will see not only the Black Shark 5 but also the more powerful version, the Pro model.
As the release date approaches, it makes sense to hear more news regarding its key features. Moreover, it is no secret that before the launch, the manufacturer sends review forms to the selection of bloggers. In turn, they provided noteworthy information before the phones officially appeared on stage. The Black Shark 5 series is no exception.
Black Shark 5 Series scores on GeekBench
Today, we learned that both models have been able to appear on the GeekBench website. Thus, we can get some information from the corresponding screenshots.
For example, we can see that the vanilla version of the Black Shark 5 series scored 1237 points and 3750 points in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. In addition, GeekBench has also confirmed the basic configuration of this series. The original model will have a Snapdragon 870 chip, while the Pro version will come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor.
