The Xiaomi Black Shark 2 is set to launch in India on May 27, and a new report suggests that it could be sold on Flipkart
Xiaomi’s primary range of smartphones typically sticks to the affordable and value-for-money segments, but the company does have a small range of premium products also available. One of these is Black Shark, a niche smartphone maker that is backed by Xiaomi and focuses on powerful gaming smartphones with top-end specifications. The company is set to launch the Black Shark 2 in India on May 27, and now a teaser suggests that the gaming smartphone could go on sale on online retailer Flipkart.
An ad by Flipkart on Instagram describing its portfolio of current and upcoming premium smartphones shows that the Black Shark 2 is likely to go on sale on Flipkart. The ad mentions various brands that are available on Flipkart; some of these such as Google and Poco by Xiaomi are Flipkart-exclusive, while others such as Samsung and Oppo are also available elsewhere. The teaser clearly shows the Black Shark 2 logo, suggesting that Flipkart is already fixed as the online retail partner for the new smartphone.
Xiaomi works closely with both Flipkart and Amazon in India, although the Chinese company has favoured Flipkart for its high-end smartphones such as the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and Poco F1 (Review).
