The Xiaomi Black Shark has a camera that's just as good as the Galaxy S7 edge one, and although the Xiaomi Black Shark has a smaller aperture which is not nice for taking images or videos in poorly lited situations and a tinier back-facing camera sensor capturing lower quality videos and images, they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate, the same resolution camera and the same video definition.
