Xiaomi sub-brand Black Shark launched its latest gaming-centric Black Shark 3 and Black Shark 3 Pro phones in China. Both devices are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC and pack similar tripe camera systems on the rear. Though the devices are mostly alike, the Pro model comes with additional few features, including dedicated gaming shoulder buttons. While both the devices were launched with high-end specs, Black Shark did not confirm whether it is bringing the smartphones to the Indian market or not. In India, Black Shark is working as an independent brand competing with Xiaomi in the affordable flagship device race.
