The official teaser image of the potential Razer Phone rival, the Blackshark gaming smartphone has been released showcasing a part of the physical phone itself, particularly the side where the power button is located. 

There is little to be known regarding tech specs of the device but rumours have been going around that it will house the Snapdragon 845 along with 8GB of RAM and lastly, 256GB internal storage. Similar to the Razer Phone, the Blackshark gaming smartphone's display has a refresh rate of up to 120hz which is equivalent to 120 frames-per-second which also translates to buttery-smooth animations and gameplay.

In-display fingerprint mock up by XDA Developers

On a less gaming-related note, Xiaomi Mi 7 will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner as confirmed by CEO Lei Jun on Weibo. XDA Developers further backed this confirmation by digging around through the MIUI source code to find lines of codes relating to the feature mentioned. Personally I'm excited because Xiaomi ships their mobile devices to South East Asia, including Malaysia. As usual, take every rumour with a grain of salt and stay tuned to TechNave.com to keep up with latest news including the devices mentioned above.
