“Combining a great camera, excellent internals and improved gaming credentials over the original, the Black Shark 2 is a triple threat that betters most of its gaming phone rivals.”

The Black Shark 2 offers solid gaming performance and an innovative pressure-sensitive MagicTouch feature for control customization at a reasonable price. However, it suffers from outdated security updates, limited portrait-mode game support, and lacks significant advantages over similarly priced competitors.
