Xiaomi has unveiled the Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro at a launch event in China. The latest rendition of its gaming smartphone and a rival to Taiwanese OEM Asus’ ROG Phone lineup, the latest generation Black Shark 4 comes shortly after the official unveiling of Asus’ own ROG Phone 5. The new Black Shark 4 is available in two flavours — the standard one as well as a ‘Pro’ variant. The big takeaway with Xiaomi’s latest gaming phone efforts is the use of 720Hz touch response with its display panel, which sets a new industry benchmark even for the usually extreme gaming phone configurations.
