Gaming is the focus here, and the Snapdragon 865+ chipset with Adreno 650 GPU backs that up. Paired with 12GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage in either 128GB or 256GB, this is hardware built to run demanding titles without stutter. The 6.67-inch AMOLED panel runs at 120Hz with HDR10+ support, so scrolling and gameplay both feel smooth, and stereo speakers add to the experience.
Battery life gets a boost from the 4729 mAh cell, and Xiaomi's 65W fast charging claims a full charge in 38 minutes. There's also 18W magnetic charging, a feature you won't find on most phones at this price point. Black Shark 3S price in Malaysia starts from RM3199.
On the camera side, the triple rear setup leads with a 64MP main sensor with PDAF, joined by a 13MP ultrawide and 5MP depth lens. The 20MP front camera handles selfies. It comes in Sky Cloud Black and Crystal Blue, and runs Android 10 out of the box.
