Xiaomi’s gaming smartphone series Black Shark is
expected to have a new addition to the portfolio in the next month or two. We
know it runs Snapdragon 855 with 8 GB RAM and Android Pie, and now we have a
leaked hands-on photo of the device.
The Black Shark 2 follows the design of the first Black Shark and the successor Black Shark Helo
- dark with tight green lines. The dual camera will be positioned in the upper
left corner, and even if it looks like a wide-angle lens on top of a normal
one, it is entirely possible the unit is a dummy and specs aren’t finalized.
Xiaomi introduced 27W fast-charging for the Mi 9,
and it is very likely to arrive at the Black Shark 2 as well. A listing on the
3C website revealed a new BlackShark with a model number SKW-A0 will ship with
the MDY-10-EH charger that is found in the Mi 9 retail box as well. Chinese
tipsters suggest the device will have a tiny bottom bezel - around 5 mm; they
also assume it would ship with 12 GB RAM and Game Turbo.
