Black Shark is set to debut its latest gaming smartphone – the Black Shark 2 – in India on May 27, as per an invite reported by BGR India today. The gaming phone was announced in March this year and is one of the outstanding gaming handsets in the so-called gaming smartphone segment.

Prices start at RMB 3,200 (approximately Rs 33,000) in China for the handset and Indian pricing is expected to be in close vicinity.
