I just bought this bs3.
My choice in my mind for the same price was bs3, poco f3, and the new realme gt 888.
Reason bs3- design look, light effects on the back, screen size, gaming gimmick + accessories, battery.
Regret.
1. Sound on poco x3 pro was better.( I also have poco x3 pro)
2. Os outdated. X3 pro was on android 11.
3. Had magnetic charging (18w slower than normal 30w), but i keep it in the box because i use casing. So i buy another standard aftermarket magnetic charging.
Maybe realme gt was better. With 888, updated OS, dts sound. Only the cons for me was its design.. looking old. Also less bulky with smaller screen.
I hope they release stable update asap.

                        For people wondering why theres lag with genshin impact is because its graphic intensive app + its new game, need optimization update from time to time. Other reason is this chipset is 1 year+ old. Even the newer chipset with more raw power cant sustain 60 FPS while genshin. On those whos wondering why your device is getting hot while genshin is because how is your device. Many devices has different types of cooling system or the size of it + u need to look at its build. If the phone is build with metal frame. Dont get shock if it gets hit as the heat dissipation happened at that time. Otherwise 865 is good chipset for gaming. Just need to wait for genshin developer to atleast try to optimize this game in the future.

                          Why black shark 3 cannot update to joy ui 12 ???????

                            Having a physical joystick is the most important thing that manufacturers do not consider. A joystick on the phone itself, just like the Xperia Play. And not to be disconnected from the phone.

                              Hi. Quick Review here. Ive had it for 4 months. Used it for gaming only. Performance is good but im not impressed at all. If u max out graphics in some games(COD ,GENSHIN, SHADOWGUN), it does lag many times (8gb version).Also heating. It does get hot- acceptable level(more while charging than gaming) .Battery is good. Lasts for a day hard use or 2 days light usage. But if u game id say 7-8 hrs (4G connection) maybe more on wifi. Camera is AWFUL for such price. Pictures are washed out /blurry and lack detail. Night mode is REALLY BAD. NO OIS . Also it has JOY UI , lots of bloatware apps and I DISLIKE it overall. Not too user friendly. Sometimes its not easy to find and navigate through it. Not many updates since i bought it. Its possible I might sell it sooner or later ...but nowadays UI make or break a phone....so not sure yet...of what other options are there as an alternative...
                              So to sum up:
                              +Good performamce, good battery life,fast charging
                              - BAD CAMERA, BAD UI, NOT MANY UPDATES

                                Iam enjoying my Black Shark 3, its since 2 weeks ago after buying. very Extraordinary smartphone... smooth display 90hz, smooth for gaming, except Genshin Impact as well, by using Highest preset and 60fps ,,, the phone is heating 😂 so i use Fun cooler pro and freezing my BS3. very worthy gaming phone and less price 💪 sorry my english bad.

                                    Same sentiments with you. Still using my Mi Max 2 as the primary phone for work though with in-built call recorder! Battery soc showed some deterioration (92% much?) yet lasts 2 days one charge.

                                    BS3 for certain frame rate-heavy gaming that MM2 sadly couldn't handle without throttling and heating issues.

                                    Cheers

                                      Android Security patch wise... it's outdated by roughly 8 months at time of this post. Last patched on 5th June 2020.

                                      So yeah... but having said that, Security app does prompt you to scan devices every now and then (internal software updates are quite recent). I am using it for 4 months and so far so good.
