Now, the Black Shark 4 and 4 Pro boast similar features. For starters, both the models feature a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with support for 144Hz refresh rate and 720Hz touch sampling rate.

The primary lens on the Pro variant is a 64MP sensor while the non-Pro model packs a 48MP primary lens. In addition, there is also an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a 5MP sensor on both models.
In addition, both the models feature a couple of physical trigger buttons that are integrated into the chassis of the device. These buttons sit flush to the body but come out to become pressable buttons on-demand. They can be used as extra buttons for games and as one-click buttons for simple commands.
Furthermore, both the models come with120W fast-charging supportwhich the companyconfirmedprior to today’s launch.
Now, coming to some of the major differences between both devices. There are not many. One of the key differences between the Pro and non-Pro variant is the chipset.
The standard Black Shark 4 packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset inside. On the other hand, the Pro variant includes the flagship Snapdragon 888 5G chipset under the hood.
Another difference between the models is in the physical design language, specifically the back panel. The standard Black Shark 4 features a plain back panel with no extra design flair at the back. On the contrary, the Black Shark 4 Pro comes with a shiny back panel featuring a big X-shaped pattern and LED lights for that gamer-esque look.
