The Black Shark team just held an event in India,
where it announced the market arrival of its latest gaming smartphone - Black
Shark 2. The phone will arrive with two memory options and will be sold by
Flipkart, starting June 4.
The handset has a 6.39” OLED panel with Full HD+
resolution and 19.5:9 tall ratio, but no notch - just a straight semi-thick
bezel that houses the selfie camera and earpiece (doubling as a stereo
speaker). There is a fingerprint scanner under the display and a special touch
algorithm optimizing the device for gaming purposes.
The Snapdragon 855 chipset has either 6 GB RAM + 128
GB storage or 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. There is Liquid Cooling 3.0 that is
said to lower the CPU core temperature by up to 14 degrees. The 4,000 mAh battery
of the Black Shark 2 comes with 27W fast-charging that in theory offers 30
minutes of gaming with 5 minutes of charging.
The 6/128 GB variant is arriving only in Shadow
Black and costs INR 39,999 (US$ 575/€ 515). The 12/256 GB option comes in
Frozen Silver and costs INR 49,999, which is around US$ 720/€ 650.
