The Xiaomi Black Shark 2 is a high-end dedicated gaming smartphone. The device is a lot like the Popular Xiaomi Mi 9, but comes with gaming optimizations which are absent on the Mi 9.
The device comes with a 6.39-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with HDR support. Interestingly, the display provides support up to 240Hz touch response rate with touch algorithm optimization especially for gaming.
In the hood, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC with Adreno 640 and up to 12GB RAM as well as up to 256GB internal storage. The Xiaomi Black Shark 2 come with a built in liquid cooling system 3.0. It uses liquid-cooled plate + liquid-cooled tube that can effectively cover all the heat-generating components of the CPU to reduce the CPU’s core temperature by up to 14° C, compared to 12° C in the predecessor.
The camera department consists of dual rear sensors, and a single front-mounted sensor, which includes;
The Black Shark 2 features optical in-display fingerprint sensor that is equivalent to a 5μm macro camera, which is several times higher than the traditional capacitive fingerprint sensor.
