Watch: Black Shark 2 Pro Hands-on

Black Shark sent us in here in Malaysia to check out the Black Shark 2 Pro — the company’s newest gaming smartphone. The design is quite similar to its predecessor but it has evident changes. For a gaming-focused phone, it remains stealthy looking. But with the addition of several customizable RGB LED lights around the phone, it still definitely keeps a ‘gamer’ aesthetic.
