Today, the first-ever live images of the upcoming gaming-oriented smartphone have appeared on the web and it is enticing.
The live image is of the rear panel of Black Shark 2 Pro that shows two vertical strips on emanating from top edge to bottom forming a thick glass hour design with a stripe in the middle with the ‘S’ logo embossed in between. There’s a green-colored LED emanating from the two strips as well to highlight the blacked-out middle stripe although if the logo has RGB LED or not is a mystery at the moment. Although the overall design of Black Shark 2 Pro is similar to its non-Pro variant, Xiaomi has used more glass to widen the stripes at the back with dual camera setup and an LED flash housed below the sensors.
