A Qualcomm logo is also there on the invitation.

As far as the specifications are concerned, the Black Shark gaming phone is confirmed to have the Snapdragon 845 processor. It is said to come in 3 variants; 6GB RAM + 64GB storage, 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage.

It will be running Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box with company’s own MIUI or stock Android interface on top. A few days back, benchmarking website AnTuTu released the score of the Black Shark which was quite impressive with  270680 points which is more than that of the Galaxy S9’s 265267 points.
