Black Shark’s 5G gaming phone might be coming soon
5G smartphones will be cheaper and more mainstream next year
A 5G version of the Black Shark gaming smartphone could be on the way soon. The Xiaomi-backed gaming brand saw a new model certified by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Most Chinese smartphone vendors have already launched 5G phones this year. But 2020 may be a better year to buy them, as 5G networks spread and handsets get cheaper. Black Shark isn’t officially available in the US, but some handsets can be found on Amazon.
