Xiaomi’s second-gen gaming handset looks like a refined version of its predecessor. The fingerprint scanner has been relocated to the back, and the dual cameras have been aligned vertically. The volume rockers and the power/lock key can be spotted on the right-hand side of the device and the dedicated one-touch Shark key that boosts performance is on the left.
The listing confirms that the phone will run Android, have two SIM card trays, and support 4G LTE connectivity. It also says that the new phone will sport a 5.99-inch display, which is the same as its predecessor but it seems that the body of the phone would be a little taller and slightly thicker than the original Black Shark. The huge 4,000mAh battery will also continue to be a part of the package. The rest of the hardware is expected to remain the same, with the Snapdragon 845 64-bit octa-core SoC providing the firepower, but we can hope that the Black Shark 2 will have up to 8GB of RAM.
