Editorial report
Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro technical sheet
The Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro suits buyers who put gaming and hardware first, with a clear trade-off: at 205 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time. Its 6.39″ AMOLED display has a density of 403 ppi, higher than most displays from that period. The screen-to-body ratio is 81.7%, below average, so the display occupies a smaller share of the front than on many contemporaries.
Performance hardware is among the best of its time. The Snapdragon 855 Plus is paired with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, both more than most phones launched around then offer. Storage is not expandable, so the internal capacity sets the limit for installed games and files.
The camera overall is above average. The rear main camera’s 48 MP resolution is higher than most phones of its time, while the telephoto camera’s 2x optical zoom is among the strongest magnifications of the period. Its 4,000 mAh battery capacity is average; 27 W charging is faster by specification than most phones of its time. Connectivity is also above average, and the phone includes USB Type-C, dual-band Wi-Fi and dual Nano-SIM support.
With a NeoScore of 5.3, the Black Shark 2 Pro is a gaming-focused phone with substantial memory, a sharp display and useful optical zoom. The weight is the key compromise for buyers who want a lighter handset.
