    Excellent value for money

    Excellent gaming phone with the best "HI-RES" sound quality available, even today! The triggers make all the difference in the gaming experience, and its very fluid screen is magnificent. After two years, I regret that Black Shark or Xiaomi's gaming division isn't continuing. I'll personally keep my Black Shark as long as possible, even though I'm eyeing Redmagic.

    The cell phone is incredible, everything is at its best and with a wonderful screen!

    The cell phone is a true machine, it can be more powerful than a ps4, as it uses the powerful Snapdragon 8gen 1, even more so added to the 16gb ram, cameras are good, but it could have better software, not even the Google camera can take advantage of the 108mp, the cell phone is very resistant and has a great battery, added to the incredible 120w charge, unfortunately it is due for an update, it is stuck on joyui 13 (based on Android 13), while several other inferior cell phones have already received an update, to those who have this cell phone , you need to charge the brand for an UPDATE!!!!

    Pros
    • 144hz screen, processor, charger and battery
    Cons
    • Cameras, and have more updates
    • 8.8

    It fills expectations for the needs that I require.

    It meets expectations since I bought the cell phone mainly to play, the performance is sufficient for the activities it carried out. I had blackshark 3 and the integration of the different programs has improved a lot, with the JOYUI 13 version, the change is noticeable, of course, it needs to be improved with the updates, I have no longer received updates and that is a very important point that They must improve. The difference is noticeable with the Snapdragon Gen 8.1 processor and the refresh rate.

    Pros
    • performance and speed
    • Better performance in gaming mode
    • Wifi connection improvements
    • Hyper Charge 15 minutes from 5% to 100%.
    • Doesn't disable Wifi when hotspot is enabled
    Cons
    • Updates, only when I bought it was updated.
    • It does not have protection against water or dust.
    • It does not have a 3.5 plug connection

    monster for games

    It is a powerful and stylish rugged cell phone. It's still the best when it comes to stereo sound from the device, very loud. Gaming operating system. Powerful cameras with the main 108mp film in 4k. The operating system focused on gaming performance. Super positive points 120W ultra fast charging, in practice it charges from 0-100% in ~15min as advertised. Negative point, it is a heavy cell phone, above 200g. It's not that thin because of the liquid cooling system.

    Pros
    • very powerful sound
    Cons
    • weight and thickness

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
