Xiaomi’s well-received gaming brand Black Shark officially announced two new gaming-centric phones including the Black Shark 3 and Black Shark 3 Pro earlier this month.
Following the launch event, both, the Black Shark 3 and its Pro variant went up for reservation and garnered more than a whopping 5 million reservations despite carrying steep price tags. Traditionally, Black Shark releases a gaming phone at the start of the year and unveils its upgraded version in the second quarter of the year, but it deviated from its release pattern by announcing the Black Shark 3 and its Pro model in March.

The black-tinted, 8GB RAM+256 ROM Black Shark 3 Pro model can now be yours for $849. If you are willing to shell out $50 more (i.e. $899), you can go for the slightly larger variant that ships with 12GB RAM offer 256GB of internal storage.
Both phones including the Black Shark 3 and the Black Shark 3 Pro retains the brand’s X themed design featuring sharp geometrical curves that are further augmented with grooves on the back. The most notable change in the Black Shark 3 series is the revamped, triangle-shaped camera module.
The Black Shark 3 Pro sports a mammoth 7.1-inch AMOLED panel, which is integrated with the industry’s first 270Hz touch sampling rate. The touch panel offers a refresh rate of 90Hz for seamless scrolling and animations. Furthermore, the display boasts a Quad HD+ resolution of 3120 x 1440 pixels.
The gaming phone packs a powerful Snapdragon 865 Octa-core processor, along with a competent Adreno 650 GPU under the hood. In the photography department, it houses a 64MP, 13MP and a 5MP triple camera setup at the back and a 20MP front shooter for self-portraits and video calling.
The Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro runs JOY UI OS based on Android 10 OS and is backed by a 5000mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging, which is one of the largest capacities available in any smartphone. Moreover, the dual-SIM gaming phone features two mechanical gaming buttons located on its right side.
