Xiaomi sub-brand Black Shark launched its first gaming smartphone – called Black Shark – back in April this year. And now, it looks like the company is all set to launch its second gaming smartphone soon – dubbed Black Shark 2 – as it has made its appearance on Chinese certification authority TENAA’s website.
The Black Shark 2 (pictured above) has passed through TENAA which is China’s equivalent of USA’s FCC. It has been listed on TENAA’s website with model number AWM-A0. TENAA listings generally include the specifications of the devices, but that’s not the case with Black Shark 2. But, the listing does include its images which shows us what this smartphone looks like.
The Black Shark 2 looks similar to its predecessor, but, there are some noticeable differences between the both. The Black Shark (shown below) comes with a fingerprint scanner that’s located on the front below the display, but, the Black Shark 2 has it located on the back. Furthermore, the dual rear cameras on the Black Shark are placed in horizontal orientation, but, the dual rear cameras on the Black Shark 2 are stacked vertically.
The TENAA listing also reveals that Black Shark 2 has a 5.99-inch display along with a 4000 mAh battery underneath, which is the same as its predecessor. But, apart from this, the TENA listing doesn’t reveal any other details about the Black Shark 2, hence, we will have to wait for the listing to be filled with all the specs. Until then, you can check out the specifications of Black Shark that we are listing down below.
