Black Shark recently added two new gaming smartphones to its product portfolio in the form of the Black Shark 3 and Black Shark 3 Pro. The brand also launched a bunch of accessories alongside its flagship Black Shark 3 series.

The Black Shark 3 Pro is one of the biggest smartphones on the market, with its massive 7.1-inch QHD+ OLED panel. The panel boasts a 90Hz refresh rate and the world's fastest touch-sampling rate at 270Hz. The Black Shark 3 Pro packs a 5,000 mAh battery and supports super-fast 65W charging. According to Xiaomi, the smartphone can be charged from 0 to 100% in just 38 minutes.
The smartphone features a triple camera setup on the back. The setup includes a 64-megapixel primary sensor, a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. At the front, the Black Shark 3 Pro gets a 20-megapixel selfie shooter.
The Black Shark 3 Pro is powered a Snapdragon 865 SoC paired with up to 12GB of RAM. While the phone is available in both 8GB and 12GB RAM variants, only the 12GB version features the latest LPDDR5 memory standard, while the 8GB option settles for LPDDR4X.
