Xiaomi’s gaming branch Black Shark
currently has two SD865-powered devices on the market - Black Shark 3 and Black
Shark 3 Pro. Now the brand is about to welcome its first Snapdragon 865+
handset. A Black Shark 3S unit was used by the brand CEO to post a simple
message on his Weibo profile - “A lot has happened in the past few days”.
The mystic message might point to the
arrival of the Snapdragon 865+ chipset or the launch of the Lenovo Legion
gaming device with 90W fast charging on the same day Asus unveiled the ROG
Phone 3. Last year we saw the Black Shark 2 arrive in March, just get a refresh
with the Black Shark 2 Pro in the summer. We expect something similar to happen
now - the Black Shark 3S is likely to come with Snapdragon 865+ and UFS 3.1
storage and, hopefully, a 120Hz screen.
The 3 Pro supports 65W fast charging, but
given the fact Xiaomi has developed 120W charging technology, we might see it
appear in the 3S as well.
