Black Shark 2 Pro Confirmed to Debut With Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC, DC Dimming 2.0 Ahead of July 30 Launch

Black Shark 2 Pro will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC, the Chinese company on Saturday confirmed through a video teaser posted on Weibo. Multiple reports in the recent past speculated the presence of the latest Snapdragon chipset on the upcoming Black Shark gaming phone. The Snapdragon 855 Plus is designed as an upgrade over the existing Snapdragon 855 SoC and is touted to deliver 15 percent better graphics performance over the previous version. The Black Shark 2 Pro will debut as the upgrade of the Black Shark 2 that was launched in India recently.

The  video teaser on Weibo doesn't showcase the Black Shark 2 Pro. However, it does confirm that the new smartphone will have the Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC that Qualcomm introduced earlier this month.

The Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC is touted to deliver a 15 percent boost in graphics performance compared to the standard Snapdragon 855 SoC using an upgraded Adreno 640 GPU. The chip also has the Kryo 485 CPU clocked at 2.96GHz to deliver slightly enhanced processing power over the previous-generation SoC.
