Just a couple months after its unveiling in China, the Black Shark 2 has made its much-awaited debut in India and it’s certainly a desirable smartphone for gaming enthusiasts. Black Shark 2 comes with a low-latency display, Snapdragon 855 chipset, RGB lighting, Liquid Cooling, dual front-firing stereo speakers, and a lot more. There’s even stock Android onboard and I know that’s got to attract some eyeballs.
1. Black Shark Gamepad 2.0
First and foremost, there’s the Black Shark Gamepad 2.0 that snaps into the protective case that it comes with to give you a Nintendo Switch-style console experience on your smartphone. The gamepad offers you 12 customizable buttons, physical joystick, and precision touchpad, thus, freeing up the screen for an immersive experience.
One of my favorite accessories for the Black Shark 2 has to be the Type-C to HDMI cable that allows you to extend the device to another display (usually a TV) with support for up to Full 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rates. You can see in our hands-on picture below that we have opened Shark Space and are getting ready to play a game of PUBG Mobile.
We have already taken a look at the Gamepad 2.0, but when you’ve plugged your phone into the TV using the Type-C to HDMI cable, then you can take your controllers and snap them into this double-wing handle bracket to create a console gaming pad for yourself – similar to what we have seen with Nintendo Joy-cons. You can place down the phone and game from the comfort of your couch.
4. Black Shark Cooling Fan Back Cover
Nubia has managed to integrate a cooling fan into the Red Magic 3, but Black Shark has not really gone that far and offers a similar alternative in the form of this accessory. The cooling fan back cover snaps onto the back of the Black Shark 2, is powered by the USB Type-C port at the bottom and connects to the device via Bluetooth.
Finally, we also spotted a pair of Type-C earphones on display at the event. They haven’t been launched in India but are available globally. Black Shark says they have been tuned for gaming, carrying 14mm drivers. The audio response is custom-engineered to gamers and there’s a 3-button in-line control onboard as well.

Black Shark has started building its own mobile ecosystem of products, slowly expanding the same internationally to cater to a niche audience of mobile gamers, and it seems like the add-on accessories further help round-up and enhance the experience for a fledgling mobile gaming community. There’s currently no word on when these accessories will be available for sale in India.
