Black Shark, a gaming smartphone brand backed by Xiaomi, is all set to launch its third smartphone — Black Shark 2 in China next week, on 18th March. The company has so far launched two phones — Black Shark and Black Shark Helo.
For gaming smartphones, one of the critical factors is battery life and the company seems to work out a new solution for the upcoming smartphone. Black Shark CEO Peter said on Weibo that the phone will come with an e-sports grade battery.
He added that this will increase the charging and discharging performance by 60 percent, thanks to the optimized battery chemical system and tweaking the charge and discharge algorithm. He has also confirmed that the phone will come with Liquid Cooling 3.0 technology.
Earlier, the phone passed through AnTuTu under the model name, BlackShark Skywalker, powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 855 octa-core chipset. The device packs 8GB + 128GB memory configuration, but we know for sure that there’s a higher-end model, with 12GB of RAM on board, which was spotted on Geekbench a couple of days back.
The listing has also confirmed that the phone will come with a display having 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. Finally, the phone manages to score 359,973, which is pretty average for the new Snapdragon 855 chipset.
The smartphone has also passed through 3C certification which confirmed that the phone will come with 27W fast charging, same as the Xiaomi Mi 9. A recently leaked hands-on image also gave us a glimpse of the new camera arrangement of the phone, vertically aligned dual cameras at the back.
