Xiaomi has announced the latest of the company's gaming handsets, packed with in-screen sensors and customisable controls.
On March 18, Xiaomi released their third gaming phone with specs that can compete with most of our laptops; behind the handset's 6.39in OLED display, which is pressure sensitive and has a Samsung-branded in-display fingerprint sensor, you could have up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Additionally, you'll find Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 processor, as well as a 4,000mAh battery that supports 27W fast charging.
The pressure sensitivity of the display allows users to map buttons right on the screen that can be triggered just by tapping the display in designated areas a bit harder. Furthermore, the display has been optimised specifically for gaming: colour accuracy has been improved, screen flickering at low brightness has been reduced, and touch latency has been lowered down to 43.5ms.
On the back, the Black Shark 2 features a 12MP dual lens set-up with a complementary 20MP camera up front.
The entry level model comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage at CNY3,199 (RM1,943) while the most advanced variant comes with 12GB and 256GB, respectively, for CNY4,199 (RM2,551). The device is available as of this week in China. International release details have not yet been released. – AFP Relaxnews
