While Xiaomi hasn’t gone ahead with any of the known flagships to launch in India, there has been a step forward into the gaming segment that has been seeing some activity from the other brands, as Xiaomi has officially launched the Black Shark 2 smartphone. The phone comes as a successor to the Black Shark Helo and it comes in with a number of unique features that enhance the gaming experience.
The Xiaomi Black Shark 2 has a 6.39-inch AMOLED display and there is a pressure-sensitive display called Master Touch, and it is something like the Apple’s 3D Touch. There is also an in-display fingerprint scanner for the additional security.

On the back of the Black Shark 2 is a dual-lens camera combination that includes a 48MP primary camera with a 12MP secondary one. On the front, a 20MP camera is offered for selfies and video calls. For the connectivity, there is X+2 antenna and to keep the heating at bay, the phone is powered by the Liquid Cooling 3.0 that includes a TP Cooling module, Heat conduction copper plate, Large coldplate, Middle frame in medal for heat dissipation, Independent liquid cooling pipe, and a nanocomposite graphene layer.
