Asus launched the ROG Phone || powered by the Snapdragon 855 Plus last week. Now, Xiaomi is all set debut the chipset in its latest gaming phone on July 30. The Black Shark 2 successor could be called “Black Shark 2 Pro”. After an image of the rear panel of the phone leaked, it has now allegedly been spotted on AnTuTu benchmarks.
