The gaming smartphone we had all been waiting for has finally launched in India. The Black Shark 2 has made its much-awaited debut in the country and apart from looking like an obvious gaming smartphone with a striking metal-glass build, RGB lighting, and Liquid Cooling in tow.
Starting off with hardware specs, the Black Shark 2 sports a massive 6.39-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with 19:5:9 aspect ratio and 2340x1080pixels display resolution. The screen onboard may sound taller, but there’s no notch or punch-hole up top. Instead, you’ll find modestly-sized bezels with dual front-firing speakers onboard here.
Higher Refresh Rate?
We’ve seen a number of gaming smartphones with higher refresh rates launch over the past few months, including Asus ROG Phone and Nubia Red Magic 3 with a 90Hz refresh rate. Even the OnePlus 7 Pro has adopted a higher rate display to offer a smoother user experience, but not on the Black Shark 2. There’s no higher refresh rate support on Black Shark 2.
Yeah, Black Shark 2 doesn’t boast of a higher refresh rate, but it has packed technology into the display that makes it offer the world’s lowest latency touch. This means you get faster input response, with the time dropping down to 43.5ms, something which comes really handy for mobile gamers
While most phone makers have adopted air triggers to provide a more intuitive gaming experience, Black Shark 2 one-ups them with Master Touch. The display onboard includes a pressure-sensitive technology similar to Apple iPhone’s 3D Touch, which can easily be used to customise pressure-sensitive zones.
This means you will get access to four in-game controls with just two fingers and simply need to press down harder to use them. This feature sounds really cool and would prove ideal for FPS games like PUBG Mobile as players can keep moving/ looking around while using Master Touch to shoot whenever needed.
