Black Shark, a Xiaomi-backed gaming smartphone maker, has launched a few models in the market. Now, the Chinese company is gearing up to launch a new device, which currently seems to be in a development stage.

Ahead of the launch, the company’s executive Luo Yuzhou has claimed on Weibo that the upcoming Black Shark smartphone has a feature that is currently in the experimental stage but has surpassed the iPhone 12 Pro.

This hints that the smartphone has a feature that is already present on the iPhone 12 Pro but it will be an advanced version compared to Apple’s offering. However, what that feature is, remains unknown.

While Luo Yuzhou has not yet revealed what’s the feature he is talking about, some users claimed that he could be talking about the phone’s charging speed, or the weight of the device, or the screen refresh rate support.
