In March, Xiaomi announced the Black Shark 5 series, which includes three smartphones: the Black Shark 5, the Black Shark 5 Pro, and the Black Shark RS. These are currently only available in China, but the lineup will go global next month, with Malaysia as the first stop.
The Malaysian division of Black Shark used social media to announce the June 8 launch of the Black Shark 5 and Black Shark 5 Pro in Malaysia. The event will kick off at 7 p.m. local time and will be broadcast live on the company's Facebook and TikTok pages.
The Black Shark 5 RS will not be available at the June 8 launch, and it's unclear whether the company will bring it to Malaysia later or if only the vanilla and Pro models will be available in the Asian country.
The Malaysian pricing for the Black Shark 5 and Black Shark 5 Pro has yet to be revealed by Black Shark, but since both smartphones were released a few months ago, we already know what's on offer.
The Snapdragon 870 SoC powers the standard model, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip powers the Pro model. Both smartphones have triple camera systems on their back panels, but the Black Shark 5 has a 64MP primary camera, 13MP ultrawide camera, and 2MP macro camera, whereas the Black Shark 5 Pro has a 108MP camera, 13MP ultrawide camera, and 5MP telephoto macro camera.
