Snapdragon 845 sits at the core of this phone, paired with an Adreno 630 GPU and, in its top configuration, a hefty 10GB of RAM alongside 256GB storage. That combination was built with gaming in mind, and the 6.01-inch AMOLED screen backs it up with a sharp 1080 x 2160 resolution and full DCI-P3 colour coverage. Xiaomi Black Shark Helo price in Malaysia starts from RM2049, which gets you flagship-level processing power from its era.

On the imaging side, there's a dual rear setup of 12MP and 20MP sensors with 2x optical zoom, plus a 20MP front camera for selfies. Stereo speakers and a Type-C to 3.5mm adapter round out the audio setup since there's no built-in headphone jack.

A 4000 mAh battery keeps things running, and dual SIM support with LTE-A means it handles everyday connectivity without issue. It runs Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, worth checking against your app needs if you're comparing it to newer releases.
