Xiaomi-backed Black Shark has so far launched three gaming smartphones — Black Shark, Black Shark Helo, and Black Shark 2. Now, the company is gearing up to launch yet another smartphone model — Black Shark 2 Pro in China later this month.
The company has officially revealed through a microblogging platform Weibo that it will be launching the Black Shark 2 Pro smartphone at a launch event on 30th July. The phone is expected to come powered by the newly announced Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC.
A couple of days ago, when Qualcomm announced the upgraded Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, Black Shark was among the smartphone makers to welcome the new chipset, hinting that they are working on a device powered by that chipset.
Asus has already announced that its upcoming ROG Phone 2 which is set to launch on 23rd July in China, will come powered by the SD855 Plus chipset. Given that the processor is focused towards the gaming smartphone, it’s highly likely that the Black Shark 2 Pro will be powered by the same chipset.
Black Shark 2 gaming smartphone was launched earlier this year in March, featuring a 6.39-inch AMOLED TrueView display offering Full HD+ screen resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, DC dimming, Always-on Display, eye protect mode and in-screen fingerprint sensor.
The smartphone features a dual-camera module that comprises of an f/1.7 aperture 48-megapixel main sensor and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. For snapping selfies, it is equipped with a 20-megapixel front camera with f/2.0 aperture.
It is powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC and comes with two-style Liquid Cooling 3.0 technology can drop the processor’s temperate by up to 14 degrees. The SoC is supported by up to 12 GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It runs BlackShark OS flavored Android 9 Pie OS and is powered by a 4,000mAh battery that carries support for Quick Charge 4.0 fast charging.
