Xiaomi could be going after the Razer Phone with its upcoming Black Shark device.

xiaomi-black-shark-design

Xiaomi is getting ready to launch a gaming-oriented phone, similar to what we've seen with the Razer Phone. The phone is slated for an official unveil next Friday, April 13, and a new teaser out of Weibo (via Gear) gives us a glimpse at the design language. There isn't much to see, but at least we can look forward to a phone with rounded corners on all sides.

Unlike previous Xiaomi phones, the upcoming device will feature the Black Shark branding and not the Mi label, suggesting this could be the first phone in a new gaming-focused sub-brand.

Little is known about the device itself, other than the fact that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 845. Being a gaming-oriented device, it'll be interesting if the phone offers a similar 120Hz refresh rate as the Razer Phone.

We should also see up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, and it's likely the phone will feature a similar stereo speaker configuration as the Mi mix 2S.

With the launch set for next Friday, we should know all about Xiaomi's upcoming Black Shark phone in a week's time. In the meantime, what would you like to see from the device? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Going by the teaser image, we can see that the device will be sporting a metal body and possibly a screen with 18:9 aspect ratio. On the right side of the phone, there appears to be a switch with a green finish. It appears similar to the notifications slider switch that we’ve come to love on OnePlus smartphones.

Black Shark Gaming Phone: Expected Features

It is being rumoured that the Black Shark phone’s screen will feature Full HD+ resolution (2160×1080 pixels), and the resolution was revealed by the phone’s listing in AnTuTu’s database a few days ago. We can also expect the phone’s screen to feature a refresh rate that’s higher than usual smartphones. It could offer 120Hz refresh rate, similar to that of the Razer Phone which is targeted at gamers. Under the hood, the Black Shark phone has already been confirmed to come equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, and that it will be coupled with 8GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB internal storage.

Moving onto the other possible features of the phone, we can expect it run Android 8.0 or 8.1 Oreo out of the box. It isn’t known whether the phone will run stock Android interface or Xiaomi’s MIUI software. It is also possible that the phone runs a completely new interface that offers features that could make life easier for smartphone gamers. It is also being rumoured that the device will feature aviation-class cooling system and a top-class digital signal processor (DSP) for better gaming experience.

With only a few days remaining ahead of the phone’s launch, we might get to learn more details about the Black Shark gaming phone. Similar to the first official teaser, the company might release more images leading up to the launch of the phone. Stay tuned to us to learn more about the phone. We will be covering its launch on April 13 along with other vital information such as its features, specifications, launch date and pricing.
