Xiaomi’s gaming-focused subbrand, Black Shark has released a new smartwatch, the Black Shark S1. Featuring some competitive specs, a minimalist design and an affordable price tag, read on to find out more about the wearable.

Last April, Black Shark Malaysia launched the Black Shark 4 here, making it one of the top gaming smartphones at the time. But since then, the Pro model remained elusive to Malaysians. Well, it looks like the company is finally launching it here.

Have you ever wished that you will be having that d-pad on your smartphone while gaming, so you wouldn’t have to struggle with the touch screen anymore? However, adding buttons from a gaming controller to a smartphone will also look ridiculous, as smartphones are supposed to be convenient. Lucky for Xiaomi Mi 10 users, the company has announced a new Bluetooth Black Shark gamepad that is specially made for the series.

Just a few days back we got a 3 seconds video leak of Xiaomi’s Black Shark gaming phone. The video showcased the design of the phone along with the packaging box. Today we got more leaks on the tech specs and display of the fifth edition of this gaming phone.

Gaming smartphones are gaining a lot of attention these days. Other than devices like ASUS ROG Phone and Razer Phone, Xiaomi’s Black Shark is also a gaming smartphone series that you should watch out from the Chinese tech company. Besides having a larger battery, the Black Shark 3 is also rumoured to be the first phone to have 16GB of RAM.

Earlier today, the Black Shark 2 Pro which is equipped with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 855 Plus has been launched in China starting from a RMB2999 (~RM1795) for the 12GB RAM + 128GB ROM variant. There is also a larger 12GB + 256GB variant going for RMB3499(~RM2095) as well and it comes in Black, White, Blue, Red, and more.

Another smartphone has joined the Snapdragon 855+ bandwagon. Xiaomi announced that they will be introducing the Black Shark 2 Pro smartphone on the 30th of July. The device will feature the brand new Snapdragon 855+ chipset. 

We’ve been notified that the Xiaomi Black Shark 2, which was initially launched in China, will be launching on 1 April 2019. While they did not mention how much the device will be priced at, DirectD has announced that they have already started taking pre-orders of the Black Shark 2 which is priced at RM2499 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB internal storage variant and RM2999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant. There is a possibility that the aforementioned smartphone will be available on Shopee as well, with a possibility of it having similar prices as DirectD.

Xiaomi has recently announced that the Xiaomi Black Shark 2 gaming focused smartphone is officially available in China, starting from the price of RM1941 for the 8GB RAM variant. The device has been specially designed to ergonomically fit the user's hand, especially while during activities such as gaming.

From time to time, some of you peeps have been asking us about the Xiaomi Black Shark. Although some retailers are selling it, the gaming smartphone isn't really official by Xiaomi but no worries, our local gadget distributor, DirectD will be bringing this bad boy officially and the pre-order has already begun from a starting price of RM1599.
