Given that the phone is designed for gamers, the exterior shows off some bold and flashy green accents to complement the Black Shark logo on a metal and polycarbonate build.

On the inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 mobile platform with the Adreno 640 GPU with 6/12GB of RAM along with 128 or 256GB of onboard storage. The phone runs on Android 9 Pie with a skin that’s similar to stock Android along with the addition of a gaming mode and some other customizations. The rear of the Black Shark 2 houses 2 cameras – A primary 48MP IMX 586 sensor with an f/1.8 aperture along with support for PDAF, accompanied by a 12MP telephoto lens with 2X lossless zoom. There’s a 20MP f/2.0 sensor on the front for selfies. On the battery front, the Black Shark 2 packs in a 4000 mAh battery which charges over USB Type-C at 27W. Additional features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, dedicated cooling plates, an external add-on case with cooling fans and joystick attachments to the phone that connect over Bluetooth.
