Xiaomi’s backed Black Shark is set to debut a gaming smartphone on April 13. In the run-up to the launch, there have been a number of leaks and teasers surrounding the phone which have given more information on its design and specs. A Weibo user shared a real-life image of the upcoming Black Shark smartphone. The leaked image shows the back side of the smartphone, and there is “Black Shark” logo in green. The phone apparently sports a rugged plastic design and the rear view sports a dual rear camera along with LED flash. Upon the top, the device is seen with add-on accessories which would offer Nintendo switch like joystick experience.

Unlike most of the smartphones, the Black Shark smartphone will not come with a slim design frame. Instead, the rugged shell hints the device will house a hefty battery, most likely a 4000mAh capacity or more. The phone is also expected to have IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, considering its build.
In a separate leak, a tipster revealed the design sketches of the smartphone. The device is shown using “X antenna” technology, something which the company itself had hinted on April 1. The schematics reveal the curved corners of the device with GPS, Wi-Fi, LTE, and MIMO networks placed correspondingly across the four corners. The technology will make it easier for the wireless signals to work in the device even if it is encased in a gaming case or something of that nature.
