Yesterday, Xiaomi’s gaming brand Black Shark launched the Black Shark 2 Pro, its next-generation gaming phone. The gaming phone’s main highlight is no doubt the Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset which it packs. The design is another beautiful one as we can see from these hands-on pictures hitting us courtesy of  Chinese blog MyDrivers. Let’s take a look at the design.

Black Shark 2 Pro utilises a mix of metal and glass which enhances the aesthetics while also improving the phone’s cooling and antenna performance. The design is almost similar to the previous-gen model except for some improvement in the material used. In addition, the black shark still retains the breathing light logo at the back and LED strips on both sides. The new design is inspired by the X-design language of a Formula 1 sports car.

The streamer illusion lighting system illuminates during gameplay and for incoming call message. In the scenes such as music, you can experience the cool and changeable color.

The device has a volume rockers at the left side of the display while at the right side is the power button and a dedicated button which we haven’t figured out the purpose. The device also uses a Type-C port but lacks a 3.5mm audio jack. Xiaomi is shipping the phone with a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.

The Black Shark 2 Pro keeps the 6.39-inch Samsung AMOLED display of its sibling with some new features. It has DCI-P3 color gamut, DC Dimming 2.0, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and the touch response speed is now 34.7ms an improvement from the previous generation’s 43.5ms.

There are a 20MP selfie camera and 48MP + 12MP dual rear cameras. The Black Shark 2 Pro also has an in-display fingerprint scanner and packs a 4000mAh battery with support for 27W fast-charging technology. The phone comes in five colors; Black, Ice Silver, Blue with an orange accent, Purple, and a Bright Orange. Check out more pictures of the Ice Silver variant from below.
