Xiaomi Android

Announced just yesterday, the Xiaomi Black Shark has already reached 1 million registrations. The gaming phone will launch soon – midnight today in fact.

It seems that really resonated with fans – it’s the most affordable way to get a Snapdragon 845 chipset, just CNY 3,000 ($480/€385). And we suspect that even non-gamers are looking at the 4,000 mAh battery with interest.
