The auto-beauty kicks in aggressively and almost any level of clarity got compromised with smudginess that can’t be saved with even studio lighting.

It is an open standard that is maintained by a nonprofit organization. This way the users can chose freely between different ID4me providers and can also change the provider anytime. In both cases, the times touted by the manufacturer proved to be accurate. In everyday use, I was able to run the game Apex Legends Mobile at a constant 60 FPS with graphics and framerate set to 4 out of 5.

So if you’re in the market for a phone that’s more powerful than what the Pixel 5a has to offer, get the Black Shark 4. But the star of the show is the 6.67-inch Super AMOLED display with its 144Hz refresh rate and HDR 10+ compatibility. I’m not sure if Xiaomi sourced the panel from Samsung or what, but this screen is absolutely gorgeous. Before the Black Shark 4 hit my desk, my favorite display has been the OnePlus 9 Pro. But where the Black Shark takes the cake isn’t the faster refresh rate.
