The Xiaomi Black Shark 3 is the ultimate phone for gamers who are not looking to spend a thousand dollars. Starting at only $479.99, the Black Shark 3 packs all the features the high end devices have.

To start, Xiaomi has developed a different operating system directed towards everything gaming known as JoyUI. JoyUI is derived from Xiaomi's MiUI but is optimized for gaming. With the help of TenCent Gaming, Xiaomi was able to perfect this new operating system. 

In hand, the Black Shark 3 is very comfortable and has excellent grip. Xiaomi has moved the charging port to the back of the phone to make gaming while charging the device very comfortable. With the 18 watt charger, getting the device from 0% to a 100% is not a problem at all. The device also has a switch on the side of the device that can turn on or off the Black Shark Gaming mode, which will cause the hardware to focus more on the game being played rather than background applications. 

Thanks to the two front facing speakers that are positioned on the top and bottom of the device, sound quality is excellent. Differentiating whether sound is coming from the right or left is very easy and useful, especially when playing games such as PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty Mobile.

While playing any game, the display is very smooth and responsive, this is all thanks to the 90hz refresh rate and the 1080p AMOLED display..

Taking pictures on the Black Shark 3 is not the greatest, but you're looking to purchase this device for the gaming performance, not the camera quality. The cameras still take some nice pictures, but compared to other devices at this price point, it's not as good. For the best price, the Black Shark 3 can be purchased at wirelessplace.com.
