It’s very good that Xiaomi has taken up the revival of gaming phones. After Nokia N-Gage, fans did not get the Nintendo WiiPhone, and games moved to the limited-functionality Sony PSP consoles. At the dawn of 2018, they finally waited. A new gaming smartphone from Xiaomi has been introduced.
New Gaming Smartphone Xiaomi
Comfortable control, performance, support for Android and online games, as well as the unlimited functionality of a classic smartphone – these are the advantages of the Xiaomi Black Shark new product.
A 6-inch screen with Full HD Plus resolution (2160×1080) and an 18:9 aspect ratio will delight the owner with vibrant and detailed images. The IPS matrix promises good viewing angles and no glare in bright lighting.
The Snapdragon 845 chip with Kryo 385 cores and Adreno 630 GPU promises increased performance. Additionally, the platform is equipped with a multi-stage liquid cooling system to prevent overheating. Addressing power, Xiaomi offers several gaming solutions. On the Chinese market, smartphones with 6 or 8 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of NAND storage are available. The absence of microSD slightly confused multimedia enthusiasts who prefer watching videos on their phones.
The Android Oreo platform, after recent events related to Galaxy S8 freezes, disappointed future owners. But the manufacturer assures that MIUI Xiaomi takes full control of the smartphone. So there is no need to worry.
12MP + 20MP built-in cameras with dual LED flash promise quality photos for buyers. Wireless technologies: Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, 4G VoLTE, and dual SIM support are complemented by GPS, AGPS, and GLONASS positioning systems. The built-in 4000 mAh battery is a nice gift for outdoor gamers, but the manufacturer did not specify the battery life. Questions naturally arise.
In conclusion
The new gaming smartphone Xiaomi has not yet reached Ukrainian users, so it is early to judge by enthusiastic reviews from Chinese sources. The gaming phone turned out to be powerful and convenient. But the final price for consumers outside China remains unclear. It is hoped that the new product will compete with the iPad in performance, but will be twice as affordable for buyers – at least, Xiaomi Black Shark has been compared to Apple products.
