As one of the first manufacturers to put forward the concept of gaming phones, Black Shark naturally understands what consumers need after years of working in the gaming market. The Black Shark 4S and Black Shark 4S Gundam Limited Editions released this time are precisely aimed at the tricky needs of domestic mobile game users.
This time we got the Black Shark 4S and Black Shark 4S Gundam Limited Edition phones. You want to see the limited edition of Gundam that is full of faith. Let’s focus on this phone today.
Different from the touch buttons of traditional gaming phones, the Black Shark 4 series at the beginning of the year has been equipped with magnetic powerlifting physical buttons as standard. This time, the Black Shark 4S has continued this design well.

In the contracted state, the two side buttons, one red and one blue, are cleverly hidden on the frame, matched with the high-definition color scheme. They can easily be used as decorations without looking carefully.

The height and the feedback strength of the buttons will allow users to have more button choices during the game. It is estimated that friends who like to play FPS mobile games will see this. The eyes of the two buttons have started to glow green.
As a gaming phone, both Black Shark 4S Gundam Limited Edition and Black Shark 4S are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor platform. This is for the frame rate stability of the game.

In the game, swipe down from any two corners of the upper left or upper right to call out the game center.
The most important function of the shoulder button is placed in the control center. The two points AB are the position of the shoulder button, and the position can be customized.
For example, the one-key dual-gun function that everyone likes to hear, after setting in advance, whether the left button or the right button, can be pressed to achieve dual-gun shooting.
In addition to one-button double guns, it can also realize pressing and connecting points, which is equivalent to the point-connecting device on the mobile phone, and it can be set to press and hold to trigger, release to stop, and click to start, and then click to stop.
Of course, the magnifying screen function that game players value most has also been put in the mobile phone. After turning on this function, it is equivalent to bringing an 8x mirror.
The most interesting function should be the voice control function. After the control function is turned on, call the function name (such as blood increase, grenade) in the game, and this function can be realized without clicking.
In addition, there are a variety of game adaptations in the smart cube, and users can choose various functions; it is simply a plug-in. Of course, as a black shark phone, shark sauce is indispensable.
