The Xiaomi Black Shark gaming phone may be the perfect device for playing apps like PUBG Mobile, but unfortunately, it comes with a catch.
The specifications of the gaming-focused smartphone, however, is not the problem, as it has what it takes to challenge other similar devices like the Razer Phone.
Xiaomi Black Shark: Here's What It Offers
Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi invested an undisclosed amount to Chinese gaming company Black Shark Technology, and the product of that partnership is the Xiaomi Black Shark gaming phone.
The Xiaomi Black Shark is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 and Adreno 630 GPU, with either 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM and either 64 GB or 128 GB of native storage, depending on the model. These top-of-the-line specifications are capable of running the most technologically demanding mobile games in the market.
The smartphone also offers a 6-inch 1080p FullHD+ display, so that the games will look good. It also comes with a 4,000 mAh non-removable battery, a Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging feature, and a liquid cooling system that can reduce the device's temperature by up to 8 degrees Celsius, all of which will help gamers to play through long sessions.
Even the design of the Xiaomi Black Shark is geared toward gamers, with a rear panel that provides better grip and a dedicated button to launch the device into high-performance mode. A gamepad will also be sold for the smartphone to give players a dedicated joystick to use instead of touchscreen controls.
The Xiaomi Black Shark will be launched on April 20, with a price tag of about $480 for the 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage model, and about $560 for the 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage model.
What's Wrong With The Xiaomi Black Shark?
The Xiaomi Black Shark looks like a beast of a gaming phone, with a sleek design and powerful specifications that will appeal to even the most hardcore of gamers.
Unfortunately, it is unclear if the smartphone will make its way into the United States. On its release date, the Xiaomi Black Shark will only be made available in China, the home country of the phone manufacturer.
It makes sense for Xiaomi to unleash the Black Shark gaming phone in China first, due to the massive popularity of mobile games in the country. The Xiaomi Black Shark gaming phone may still arrive to the United States, but until the official confirmation, gamers will have no choice but to hope that Xiaomi decides to make the device available in more regions.
