The Xiaomi Black Shark in Royal Blue is available with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage for CNY 3,499 (about US $545). And as previous flash sales of Xiaomi have shown, the stock doesn't usually last very long, so fans were encouraged to hurry to the Jingdong Mall website on June 15 at 10:00 am China Standard Time.

First released on April 13, Black Shark completely sold out on day one; what's more, there were over 1 million units.

The latest edition, Royal Blue, will ship with the same features as the original Polar Night and Sky Gray, so powered by the Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 and a 4000mAh battery pack with quick charging. For a smoother gaming experience, Xiaomi added a multi-stage integrated liquid cooling system to bring the CPU temperature down by 8 degrees Celsius and a new image processing chip by MEMC, also making colors sharper when needed.

On the front there is a 18:9 display, front-mounted fingerprint scanner and an impressive 20MP selfie camera. As for the back, the device has been designed to sit comfortably in players' hands, therefore sporting a metal unibody with extra groves for a better grip, as well as the gaming style.
