Black Shark 4 teardown shows easy repair of camera, battery and other parts

Later last month, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Black Shark introduced the fourth iteration of its gaming smartphones, Black Shark 4 and 4 Pro in China. The phones share almost the same specs sheet except for the Processor and Storage configuration.

Recently we’ve been reported that the Black Shark 4 goes on pre-order in Europe. Meanwhile, now Black Shark 4 has been spotted in a recent teardown video. The device was taken detached, which revealed key parts and components of the latest gaming smartphone from the brand.

In a new video from reliable YouTuber JerryRigEverything, we can observe the internals of the device as Zack methodically breaks down the handset. Since it has a plastic rear panel, the gaming smartphone is easier to open, using heat to get past the adhesive.

One of the first things that can be seen after removing the back panel is the shoulder-mounted buttons that work through a magnetic mechanism. As the device is a gaming handset, we can also find a heat pipe that helps dissipate heat that seems to be aluminum rather than copper.

The Black Shark 4 sports a large 4,500mAh battery which comprises two separate cells that are combined together. This is easily removed via pull tabs and disconnecting the wires.

The YouTuber even disconnects and removes the camera module of the device, including its primary and wide-angle lenses. Taking a closer look at the magnetic system for the side-mounted trigger buttons, these require three different pieces that move the mechanism that is powered by a magnet.

Aside from this, during the teardown, Zack also added that its predecessor had one of the most complex internal housings, while this year it had a lot more streamlined and easier teardown experience overall.
