Today, two Xiaomi sub-brands presented their smartphones: in addition to the budget Redmi 7, a gaming one made its debut
Design
The body of the device is made of glass and metal.From the front, it's a regular smartphone with no cutouts or holes, but with small bezels around the screen. But the back panel with edges and lines of different shades in the shape of the letter S in green indicates that the gadget is designed for gamers. Representatives of the company say that when creating such forms, they were inspired by racing cars.

There are three colors to choose from: black, silver and blue.
Screen
A special pride of Black Shark 2 is6.39-inch AMOLED display made by Samsung with Full HD+ resolution and 240 Hz frame rate. The screen responds to touch in just 43.5ms. For comparison: for the iPhone XS it is 45 ms, for the Samsung Galaxy S10 it is 60 ms.
There is also Magic Press technology, whichdetects up to six levels of pressure on the display and allows you to split the screen into two halves that respond to touch force depending on your personal settings.

Cooling system
A top-end Qualcomm processor is installed insideSnapdragon 855, and a third-generation liquid cooling system is provided to protect against overheating. More precisely, these are two systems at once. The first, smaller one, removes heat from the power controller during charging. The second system is a liquid-filled cold plate, the area of which has increased 5 times compared to the previous generation of Black Shark. Thus, the plate occupies half of the case at once, while cooling the chipset and the surrounding chips and dissipating heat over the entire surface of the case. As a result, they promise that the smartphone will not heat up above 45 degrees: the same iPhone XS and Samsung Galaxy S10 have much worse performance.

Of course, there are also special features for games:One additional antenna was added to the sides, so that when you hold the smartphone with both hands, the LTE and Wi-Fi antennas are not covered, so the signal level does not drop.
