Price last checked: 18 Sept 2021. Confirm current price before buying.
Snapdragon 855 sits at the core of this one, paired with Adreno 640 graphics and RAM options that climb up to 12GB. That's gaming-phone territory, and storage tops out at 256GB if you skip the external card slot entirely, since there isn't one. Xiaomi Black Shark 2 price in Malaysia starts from RM2499, which puts a 2019 flagship chipset within reach without flagship pricing.
The 6.39-inch AMOLED panel runs at 1080 x 2340 with an under-display fingerprint reader, a feature that was still fairly new at this price point when the phone launched. Round the back, a 48MP main sensor works alongside a 12MP telephoto lens for 2x optical zoom, while the 20MP front camera handles selfies.
Battery capacity lands at 4000 mAh with 27W fast charging, enough to get through a day of heavier use including gaming sessions the Snapdragon 855 is built for. Dual SIM support and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD round out the connectivity side.
