Price last checked: 15 Jun 2022. Confirm current price before buying.
Snapdragon 865 sits at the core of this one, paired with Adreno 650 graphics and either 8GB or 12GB of RAM alongside 128GB storage. That's flagship-tier processing for 2020, and it's matched with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display running at 90Hz with HDR10+ support, so scrolling and gaming both feel quick. Black Shark 3 price in Malaysia starts from RM2799.
Gaming is clearly the focus here, and the stereo speakers plus 90Hz panel back that up. The 4720mAh battery is the other headline figure, especially with 65W wired charging that Xiaomi claims can hit a full charge in 38 minutes.
On the camera side you get a 64MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, joined by a 13MP ultrawide and a 5MP depth lens. Video tops out at 4K30/60fps, with a 1080p slow-motion mode running up to 240fps. Front camera duties go to a 20MP shooter. Storage isn't expandable, so you're locked into whichever 128GB configuration you pick at purchase.
