Black Shark 2 Pro Up Close | Specifications | Setting It Up

The Black Shark 2 Pro Gaming Smartphone

Black Shark 2 Pro (MY | SG | AU | UK) is a mid-cycle update of the excellent Black Shark 2 gaming smartphone that launched in April.

Like the ASUS ROG Phone 2, it mainly features an upgrade to the Snapdragon 855 Plus mobile platform.

The Volume control buttons are on the left side, with an LED light strip.

On the right side is another LED light strip, with the Power button, and the Shark Key switch.

The top is clean, with a second microphone located at the top of the back.

The SIM tray is located at the bottom, next to the USB Type C port. You will note, by now, that there is no 3.5 mm audio jack.

But fortunately, unlike the Samsung Galaxy Note10 and Note10+, Black Shark provides a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter in the package! So you can still use your existing 3.5 mm earphones with it.
