Xiaomi Android Gaming

Xiaomi-backed Black Shark is getting ready to unveil its first smartphone. The eponymous device will be all about gaming, as Black Shark is meant to be a gaming-focused offshoot of the Chinese handset maker.

We've already seen the Black Shark in a couple of benchmarks, a live image, and not one, but two teasers. Now though a hands-on video of the phone has been outed, and you can see it embedded below.

Sure, it's not the longest of videos - by any stretch of the imagination. Yet it does give us our first 360-degree view of the smartphone.

It looks pretty big and bulky, as you can see, but that may aid in handling, especially when holding it in landscape in order to enjoy a game or two. Or three. Unlike the also gamer-focused Razer Phone, this one is much more curvy.

From previous leaks we've gathered that the Black Shark will have the Snapdragon 845 chipset, 8GB of RAM, at least 32GB of storage, and a 2,160x1,080 touchscreen with 18:9 aspect ratio. It may become official as soon as tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip, Zoser!

I try to explain the weakpoints. and not in an arrogant way... I dislike Arrogance. however... I do try to do it in a pleasing way and I never go like "HA! YOU [profanity!] I know how it works and you don't!". the problem is that's it's hard to und...
