Xiaomi‘s Black Shark gaming phone brand took the wraps off the third-generation Blackshark 3 and 3 Pro in March this year. Since then the smartphones have gone on sale in China. The company has now revealed that both models will be available to buyers in Europe from May 8.

This was revealed on Black Shark’s official website but the poster didn’t contain any detail of the price. The Black Shark 3 starts at 3499 yuan (~$502) in China while the 3 Pro has a starting price of 4699 yuan (~$674). We expect the prices to be slightly higher but still remain attractive to buyers.

Asa reminder, the Black Shark 3 features a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with the industry’s first 270Hz touch sampling rate. This combined with a 24ms touch response time and a 28ms multi-finger touch response time ensures that you face minimal touch lags during gameplay. The touch panel refreshes at 90Hz, ensuring smooth scrolling and animations.

On the other hand, the Black Shark 3 Pro model takes things to another level. It comes with a tablet-sized 7.1-inch AMOLED panel with a Quad HD+ 3120 x 1440p resolution display. It’s nearly the size of Mate 20 X’s massive screen but with a higher resolution! Clearly, the Black Shark 3 Pro has one of the best displays for mobile gaming.

Both phones are powered by a Snapdragon 865 processor. But the biggest difference between the two models in terms of design is the presence of two tactile physical buttons on the right side of the Pro variant which the standard variant lacks.
