Small? It looks huge in the videos. :p

It actually does look small especially when its horizontal. The 20x looks far bigger.

Tbh, I like wide phones. I love the bs3 pro, don't get me wrong. But it just doesn't look big to me. And I wish I knew the size of the screen itself to compare to that of the 20x.

Btw did you finally buy it? You said you were gonna get it.

Guess you didn't buy it yet. Let me know when you do!
Sadly i had to cancel my order, they said that delivery from China takes weeks/months now with the whole Corona thing. On the other side it's not a big problem because i saw on the Global Black Shark web store that the Global model is coming by the end of April. :)

Unfortunately the global version will be more expensive than the China version. Another sad news is Frankie Tech made a battery drain showdown video that he pitted the bs3 pro against other phones with lesser battery life and it failed miserably. It was the first phone to die out against all others. Even the mate 20x 5g with 800 mah less battey capacity beat it.

As a result I'm no longer interested in the bs3 pro. Thought it was a winner. When you toot your phone having a big 5000 mah battery that drains much faster than phones with less battery I'm out big time. Very disappointing. Looks like I'll be buying the mate 20 X.

But it was the only phone with QHD+ resolution @ 90fps in the test. So it was a more fair battle to set the black shark 3 Pro screen to 1080p resolution @ 60fps.

I'm still going to buy the Black Shark 3 Pro and compair it with my Mate 20 X 5G and see which one i keep. :)

I really hope you're right about that. Makes sense and I hope I'm wrong.

The Asus rog 3 phone seems like a successor to the mate 20x. Doesn't have as big of a screen but has everything else and it can have the bootloader unlocked. XDA just did a review of it a few days ago. It can even have 16gb if ram. 512gb of memory and it's compatible with all US carriers.
