Another gaming phone has been launched by Xiaomi, the Black Shark Helo. It is the upgrade from this year’s Black Shark while sporting a new AMOLED display and support of up to 10GB RAM.
The rest of the internals are almost the same as well as the exterior with little design changes at the back and retained RGB logo lighting.

The Black Shark Helo will soon launch in China with a starting price of P25,000 Philippine pesos or roughly $460 USD for the 6GB + 128GB version. The 8GB model will retail for about P28,000 or $500 USD.
There is no mention of the price and availability of the 10GB Black Shark Helo but we guess we will have the info once the lower models reached China by November.
As for the Philippine and global release date, we expect that Xiaomi may eventually launch the Black Shark Helo in the Philippines instead of the older Black Shark 1. Price and availability will be updated once confirmed.
