The Black Shark 2 was released in the month of March this year, and it goes down to be one of the best gaming smartphones you could buy in the market. But now, the brand is coming out with a revised version called the Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro. The new phone is just a minor upgrade over its predecessor, and it will offer the latest Snapdragon 855+ and UFS-3.0 storage together with a slightly refined design with improved grip, and two additional RGB lights on the back.
Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro Features
At the front of the Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro you will find
an identical 6.39 inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and stereo speakers.
Black Shark claims it managed to reduce touch latency down to 34.7ms compared
to the 43.5ms of its predecessor. This alone will result to a fast gaming
experience with less visible lag. The UD fingerprint sensor from the Black
Shark 2 is here as well.
