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.
