What this hardware actually means
Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.
Platform & performance positioning
The blackshark SHARK PAR-A0 is built around the Snapdragon 870, a current or recent flagship-tier SoC from Qualcomm. It launched in 2021 on a TSMC 7nm N7 process. A rebinned Snapdragon 865+, sold as a 'value flagship' chip through 2022-2023.
Excellent power efficiency and thermals; preferred by gaming-focused phones (POCO F-series, Black Shark) for its consistent sustained performance.
Day-to-day workload
12 GB LPDDR5 of RAM is ample for any current workload, including multitasking-heavy use and on-device AI. Display resolution is 2400x1080.
This record reflects Android API level 31 (12). Android 12 — at the edge of current support; most apps still work but some new features may not be available.
Trust & buying notes
If you're cross-checking a phone advertised as a blackshark SHARK PAR-A0, the fields most worth verifying are: Build.MANUFACTURER lowercase-equal to "blackshark"; Build.SOC_MODEL set (Android 12+) and consistent with Snapdragon 870. For an automated check, run our Hardware Trust Score from the DevCheck AI app and compare its output against this entry.
For a second-hand purchase, also verify the security patch date is no more than ~12 months old, the boot count is plausible for the claimed age, and battery health is above 85%.
