Xaomi‘s Black Shark did add a second-generation model of the Black Shark Gaming phone known as Black Shark 2 Pro recently. During the launch conference, the company was quick to flaunt a 500K score for the flagship gaming phone. Of course, we have no reason to doubt the figure considering that the device packs Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset which is the most powerful SoC around presently. 
However, the Black Shark 2 Pro AnTuTu benchmark score in real life has been shared on Weibo by a netizen who obviously has used the device. The message was actually sent using the device so, the AnTuTu score is likely genuine.

The gaming phone is shown to have got a total benchmark score of 456571 points. This is significantly lower than the 500,610 points the company projected during the launch event. We believe the disparity is due to the device already running some apps, games and encountering day-to-day uses.
The score is still way higher than the 405598 points released by AnTuTu a few days before the phone was launched. It is possible that the CPU was optimised after AnTuTu got the first score on its database. A disparity of over 50K points will sure make a difference in performance. In other aspects, the Black Shark 2 Pro scored 109,193 points on the GPU test, UX-54924 points, CPU- 140041, and MEM- 71370 points.
Unfortunately, the AnTuTu score for the ASUS ROG 2 is yet to be released. So, we can’t cross-check to see if they are on par.
