Design and Display
Want to know what the Xiaomi Black Shark 4S Pro looks like? Then you have to look no further than the standard Black Shark 4 Pro it’s self. The resemblance are hard to miss.
However, there is a likely hood you may be able to tell the difference by examining the rear panel design, where you will discover a very conspicuous “Black Shark” branding in the right corner.
Setting aside the Black Shark branding, leaves us with the same camera module design and the Shark emblem. What’s more, we have only two colour options here, just black and white, suppose to the five different colour options on the standard Black shark 4 pro.
On the front panel, we have the most identical setup, which is a 6.67-inch Super AMOLED display with a punch hole camera in the middle position. This display has a resolution of 1080p @ 30fps, a density of approximately 395 PPI and a 144Hz refresh rate.
