Well what do you know - another smartphone company is updating its smartphone with the latest Qualcomm chipset. Xiaomi just announced on Weibo the arrival of Black Shark 2 Pro version on July 30.

The launch announcement comes just two days after nubia’s confirmation that it will update is Red Magic 3 gaming smartphone with Snapdragon 855 Plus in the future in a response to Asus’ launch of the ROG Phone 2 on July 22.

The difference between Snapdragon 855 Plus is slightly faster GPU - about 15%. The first CPU cluster is also overclocked from 2.84 GHz to 2.96 GHz, which in the grand scheme of numbers is just a 4% increase.
