Based on our first few shots, the Black Shark phone is a capable camera phone!
Focus and shooting speed is quick. It can also shoot daylight images with plenty of details, good texture, and punchy colors.
HDR shots are flagship grade and the daylight portraits taken with this handset is one of the most natural looking on a phone. The level of depth is great as well. The 2x zoom also works well. It has sharp details for a phone.
Lowlight shots are respectable, but we expected it to be a bit better due to its pair of "bright" f/1.75 sensors. Hopefully, Black Shark can seed an update to optimize its lowlight performance further.
For selfies, the 20MP sensor shoots very detailed images with natural looking colors in daylight. It will be softer and grainier in dim indoor shots and night selfies though.
It has no screen flash as well.
But overall, the cameras of a the Black Shark is very impressive for a gaming-centric device.
