This month we have been deserving of several gaming terminals, which have come to nurture this segment and show themselves as great alternatives for those who like to play demanding titles for long hours. Two examples are the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel and ROG Phone 3 by Asus, both mobiles with Snapdragon 865 Plus, specialized game modes and functions, and an advanced cooling system.
Xiaomi also does not want to miss the party now and therefore, before the end of this month, it will launch the Black shark 3s, a gaming smartphone that already has official announcement and it will be fully released on July 31. The company, to promote it in style, has compared it to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, leaving Apple's option as a rather inferior terminal, at least as far as one screen category is concerned.
The Black Shark 3S far outperforms the iPhone 11 Pro Max in tactile response
What Xiaomi has done is launch a promotional video in which we can well see the iPhone 11 Pro Max on the left side and the Black Shark 3S on the right side of the comparison.
In this it is possible to notice is the fluidity with which the screen of the Black Shark 3S responds to touch, which this time is provided by a "robotic finger" that simulates the touch properties of a human finger.
The screen of the Apple mobile, for its part, responds quite lagging, something that gives away that it is difficult for him to track precisely by touch. While this is remarkable on a day-to-day basis, it is even more so when it comes to games, as it can make a difference in the results, especially in battle royale titles -like PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile and Fortnite, among others-, where the reaction of the player and mobile is essential.
The main specification that makes the Xiaomi terminal panel this precise when it comes to responding to touch is the 270 Hz response rate, much higher than that of the vast majority of mobiles that can be found in the market today.

This, added to a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which is what this screen boasts, makes the experience of use and play on this Chinese device very fluid and one of the best, without a doubt. It is valid to point out that the iPhone 11 Pro Max, being an expensive and exclusive high-end for some pockets, has a refresh rate of just 60 Hz, a figure surpassed, even, by some terminals of 300 and 400 euros such as the new OnePlus Nord, which have panels of 90 Hz or more. There is also the Red magic 5g, which, although it is already a high-end, is still much cheaper than Apple's and reaches a refresh rate of 144 Hz.
When we dig deeper into the characteristics of the of the Black Shark 3, we find that we are before an AMOLED technology screen that has a not small diagonal of 6.67 inches and support for MEMC 3.0, which interpolates extra frames in any normal video, giving it the appearance of having a higher frame rate. This type of function was first introduced in the 120 Hz display of the OnePlus 8 Pro, it should be mentioned.
This phone will be presented as an upgraded option of the Black Shark 3 original, which was released in May along with its Pro variant and a 90 Hz display and processor chipset Snapdragon 865. For this, it will use the panel already described and the newest Qualcomm processor, which is the Snapdragon 865 Plus, SoC that is capable of working at a clock frequency of 3.1 GHz for superior and compliant performance. Of course, other high-end features, advanced gaming functions and a cooling system will not be lacking in this device.
