The Black Shark series appeared in 2018, when Xiaomi decided to take the gaming smartphone market seriously. Despite such a narrow specialization, perhaps this is where the company's ability to make truly first-class smartphones is best manifested. From a technical point of view, this line is considered the most advanced in the Chinese brand's portfolio.

A typical representative of the series is the most upgraded smartphone with an eye to complete immersion in the world of mobile games. Models in this series are distinguished by fast screens with increased refresh rates, powerful hardware with advanced cooling, high-quality stereo speakers and specialized gaming features.


For example, the third Black Shark will boast a liquid processor cooling system, a display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and pressure recognition, as well as an activation function for enhanced performance. It works under the leadership of the advanced Snapdragon 865 chipset, coupled with 8 GB of RAM and fast built-in storage of the UFS 3.0 standard. At the time of its release, it was more common to see stuff of this level in truly flagship devices with a price tag one and a half to two times higher.

But that's not all. As devices for gamers, Black Shark series smartphones boast a unique design unlike any other smartphone. The body is cut through aggressive lines similar to air intakes, and the abundance of glass and plastic inserts resembles the finish of a racing car. On the case, there must certainly be a logo in the form of the letter "S" with luminous inserts that can change colour as you wish.
