Thanks to the front orientation, the sound is not obstructed when the smartphone is in hand, providing an even more immersive audio experience. The 3.5mm jack input is also making a comeback at the request of players around the world. Aside from the traditional USB Type-C input, four magnetic charging connectors, located on the rear panel (18W fast charging), allow you to charge the phone with increased comfort during the game.

Black Shark 3 and 3 Pro share the same triple camera configuration, with a 64MP main camera, a very wide-angle lens for 13MP snapshot, and a 5MP camera for the Bokeh effect. The super night mode in RAW Domain offers crisp and vivid shots. Available exclusively on the Black Shark 3 Pro, the horizontal linearity motor significantly improves the tactile experience. The vibrations which vary according to the game scenarios create a new dimension of communication for mobile games.
