We’re only a day left until Xiaomi officially launches its Black Shark 4 gaming phone in the Philippines, but its LazMall Black Shark store has listed the suggested retail prices (and sale prices) of the upcoming beastly phone. What’s more, each purchase will also get you a free gaming cooler. The base model Black Shark 4 with 6/128GB starts at ₱24,950 while the 8/128GB and 12/128GB will set you back ₱26,990 and ₱29,990, respectively.
