Source: DxOMark
The Black Shark 4S Pro’s Display protocol performance is almost identical to that of the older Black Shark 4 Pro. The only noteworthy difference is that the 4S Pro does a slightly better job of managing dark tones in HDR10 videos, thereby gaining a point over the 4 Pro in that category. However, it should be noted that neither the 4S Pro nor the 4 Pro manages video dark tone rendering very well.

Source: OI Spice Tech News
From the overall analysis, the Xiaomi Black Shark 4S Pro smartphone can be considered a good gaming device, but at the same time, it lacks a decent flagship phone. If we only have to recommend this phone for its impressive gaming features, then the price you put to buy this device is worth it. You won’t regret buying this phone for sure. Undoubtedly, the phone has exceptional features, but if you want to go full throttle and want to get industry-leading gaming features, then the maximized Asus ROG 5s Pro smartphone is worth your time.
