Announcement of Black Shark 5 High Energy Version: an affordable gaming phone with RAID0

Initially, the Xiaomi Black Shark 5 line was presented in four models: the youngest with Snapdragon 870,

intermediate 5 RS on 888 and 888+ and top 5 Proon 8 Gen 1. The older of the modifications had an additional feature - half of their memory was not traditional UFS drives, but full-fledged SSDs. The two halves of the disk are connected to each other in a RAID0 array, which makes reading and writing data about twice as fast. Today Xiaomi decided to bring this technology to the youngest model, bypassing the RS modifications (they are generally out of production). The new product received a very long name Black Shark 5 High Energy Version and a very affordable price (see below); It doesn’t have any differences from the regular “five”, except for the SSD.
