In the past week, a new Xiaomi Black Shark gaming phone was certified by the 3C authority of China. Also, Black Shark CEO Wu Shimin had revealed earlier this week that the Black Shark 2 will be launching soon with Liquid Cool 3.0 technology. Multiple listings of the “Black Shark AAA” smartphone have appeared on Geekbench. As usual, the Geekbench listing has revealed the key specs of the phone.
All the Geekbench listings of the rumored Black Shark 2 show that it is powered by the Qualcomm’s most powerful Snapdragon 855 mobile platform. The SoC is assisted by 12 GB of RAM. The Android 9 Pie OS is loaded on the device. In the single-core and multi-core benchmarking tests of Geekbench, the Black Shark AA handset has respectively scored 3516 and 11413 points.
In January, the purported Black Shark 2 was spotted with Snapdragon 855 chipset and 8 GB of RAM. In the single core test, it had scored 3494 and 11419 in the multi-core test. Hence, it appears that the smartphone will be available 8 GB and 12 GB RAM variants. These handsets may respectively feature 128 GB and 256 GB of native storage. The inclusion of Liquid Cooling 3.0 technology suggests that the Black Shark 2 may come with a larger cooling pipe.
The 3C certification of the Black Shark 2 had revealed that it will carry support for 27W fast charging like the recently unveiled Xiaomi Mi 9 flagship phone. A leaked hands-on image of the phone that had appeared recently had revealed that the phone will be sporting the identical design language as the predecessor models. The image had also revealed that the unlike the Black Shark Helo phone that has the vertical dual camera setup placed in the middle of the upper half of its rear shell, the upcoming Black Shark 2 will feature its vertical dual camera system at the top-left corner of its back panel.
The Chinese manufacturer is yet to confirm on the launch date of the smartphone. The original Black Shark phone had debut last year in April. Hence, the Black Shark 2 is likely to go official either in this month or April.
