Black Shark has recently confirmed that its first gaming smartphone would be unveiled on April 13. Soon after the announcement, a couple of leaked renders of the alleged phone had surfaced on Weibo. Black Shark CEO Wu Shimin was quick to respond that those renders were ugly and fake. The official Weibo account of the company has confirmed the antenna design of the upcoming gaming phone by Black Shark.

The Black Shark gaming phone will be the first phone to be equipped with “X” antenna design. This arrangement protects the antenna bands from getting covered by the palm while playing games on it. It will ensure stable signal connectivity and reduce the rate of calls.

Some of the Weibo users have shared the basic design of the Black Shark gaming phone which shows that the top-left corner has GPS and Wi-Fi receivers whereas the top-right corner has LTE receiver. The bottom corners have receivers for LTE and Wi-Fi MIMO. To say again, such an arrangement will provide users with immersive gaming experience without disturbing the proper functioning of the antennas.
