ScreenThe original Black Shark packed a fair, unexceptional LCD display. This time around though, it’s AMOLED all the way, and with an added 0.4 inches of screen size, totaling 6.39 inches, it’s more immersive too. While the Black Shark 2 doesn’t pack the screen refresh rates of the competition 120Hz on the Razer Phone series and 90Hz on the Asus ROG Phone it does claim to be the most responsive, with a 240Hz touch report rate, and a 43.5ms response time. In reality, the responsiveness was great, but not noticeably better than any other top tier flagship, for us casual gamers at least. Hardcore PUBGers, you may disagree. As for the resolution, at 1080 x 2340, it delivers the same pixel density as the original (with marginally more pixels but a bigger screen), while upping the screen aspect ratio from 18:9 to 19.5:9.
