Black Shark 2 Pro with Snapdragon 855+ goes official

On schedule, Xiaomi's gaming-focused sub-brand released the Black Shark 2 Pro, the upgrade of the Black Shark 2 that was announced back in March.

Black Shark 2 Pro

The most powerful gaming phone in the world?

In terms of specs, it is arguably the best gaming phone in the world right now. It still has the 6.39-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, but it now runs with the 7nm overclocked Snapdragon 855+ processor. The company also managed to reduce the touch latency down to 34.7ms versus 43.5ms of Black Shark 2.

In addition, Black Shark 2 Pro is equipped with massive 12GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.0 storage. UFS 3.0 is the faster modern storage standard.

There's a 4,000mAh battery that comes with a 27W fast charger. On the camera part, there's a 48MP f/1.75 main sensor paired with a 12MP f/2.2 secondary camera. The selfie cam is 20MP f/2.0. 

The company also said that it has improved the liquid-cooling tech of the phone and it allegedly scored 500,610 at AnTuTu. If true, it is the highest-scoring at AnTuTu yet!

There's a dual-speaker setup in front as well.

On the software part, Black Shark 2 runs with a near-stock Android 9.0 Pie OS.

It will come in black, silver, blue, orange, and purple colorways.

The Black Shark 2 Pro is now available in China for pre-order. Price starts at CNY 2,999 (around PHP 22K without taxes and duties yet) for the 12GB RAM/128GB version and the 12GB RAM/256GB storage is priced at CNY 3,499 (around PHP 25.8K without taxes and duties yet).
