The Xiaomi-backed Black Shark gaming smartphone was launched earlier this month. Due to people’s high anticipation and interest in this device, it will be a real waste if it will only be limited to China.
Thankfully, Widget City, an online retailer in the Philippines, was able to get their hands on the Xiaomi Black Shark. So if you’re dying to get one for yourself, this is your chance.
As of the moment, the device is in pre-order status. The retailer is offering two variants of the Black Shark. The 6GB/64GB model will retail for a price of Php31,000, while the 8GB/128GB configuration costs Php36,000.
With that pricing, the Black Shark clearly takes on its major competitor — the Razer Phone. Razer’s first smartphone is also available in Widget City at a higher price of Php37,500.
