The Black Shark 3 and Black Shark 3 Pro are the latest gaming smartphones in town. The two phones pack flagship specs and extra features that you won’t find on a regular flagship. While the Black Shark 3 already had its first sale last week, the Black Shark 3 Pro is yet to go on sale.

The first sale was originally scheduled for March 17, but today Black Shark announced that the date has now been postponed to March 27. In the Weibo post, the manufacturer apologized to its fans and stated that the reason for postponing the date is due to having insufficient stock. With the extension, there should be enough units for the first sale. The press statement adds that all those who pre-ordered the phone will still get their device at the expected time.

The Black Shark 3 Pro has a 7.1-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 270Hz touch-sensing. There is a Snapdragon 865 processor under the hood with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The phone has a 64MP primary rear camera paired with a 13MP ultrawide-angle camera and a 5MP depth sensor. For selfies, it comes with a 20MP camera.

Black Shark has included stereo speakers, an audio jack, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a 5000mAh battery under the hood. The phone supports 65W fast charging via the USB type-c port at the bottom. There is also a set of connector pins at the back that you can use to charge the device; this connector supports 18W fast charging. The Black Shark 3 Pro also comes with retractable shoulder buttons on the right side of the phone.

The phone is priced at ¥4699 (~$674) for the 8+256GB version and goes up to ¥4999 (~$717) for the 12GB RAM + 256GB version.
