What a joke?256 GB is Enough do you think you can fill all that 256 GB? maybe you can fill that one if you are storing a cinema on your mobile phone or maybe having a lot of Malicious Videos come on man its a gaming phone so the average gb of games are usually 1~3gb only :)

        Xiaomi keeps releasing interesting, at least somewhat modern (compared to other players) phones. I wonder how big they'll become.

          As for current Gaming environment some factors are important to be considered, there are improvements and drawbacks cmpring Razer Phone, which is called Gaming Phone:

          Gaming Phone is like what we have at home "A custom assembled PC".
          Things that are important to be considered from the handset itself (Accessories can be obtained later by third parties):

          1- Display Size
          2- Aspect Ratio
          3- Display Resolution
          4- Pixel Density
          5- Refresh Rate
          6- Display Protection
          7- Environment Protection
          8- Software Optimization
          9- CPU
          10- GPU
          11- RAM
          12- Internal Storage
          13- Headphone Quality
          14- Battery Capacity
          15- Fast Charging
          -----
          Black Shark can render 30 fps flawlessly in toughest conditions by available titles thanks to 2.3 MP display resolution and Adreno 630.
          Razer Phone in such condition could handle 15 fps because of 3.6 MP display resolution and Adreno 540.

          16:9 is standard by current titles and it gives Razer Phone rooms for Front Facing Stereo Speakers.
          18:9 in Black Sharkmakes display bigger for other tasks and even games which have stretching capabilities, but no room for front facing speakers.

          Razer Phone's 515ppi is better for VR titles.
          Black Shark's 403pi is ideal for conventional titles, but not for VRs.

          Gaming Phone must have distinguishable features to be swapped with PC and Gaming Consoles. If not, there are gaming laptops which are weather sealed and can be used from sea level to mountain top. no matter how bad, humid, cold or hot the weather is.

          60Hz is excellent for every tasks, but not every games.
          in theory 120Hz is useless for naked eyes, but there are Racing and Flying contents which need 120Hz display to give the more reality in case of feeling the speed and such displays doing so.

          Faster and More RAM in such devices help better performance of overall system.

          256GB Internal Storage is enough for Gamers which have at least 30 titles with base weight of 1GB+ to be download for installation. Further add-ins need more space.

          Audio quality in headphone is more important than having Stereo Speakers. Mobile Gamers are not drivers. They are commuters, so in public area Speakers must be silent in order not to bother others.

          Battery must be optimized by the software to be squeezed out to reach more time by the available capacity.
          Battery must be huge in case of non-replaceable.
          Battery must be charged as fast as possible, because gamers neither are patient enough to spend hours for charging, nor care about efficiency.

          So, Black Shark is superior in 6 out of 15 and Razer Phone in 5 out of 15.
          There are still 4 gaps which no one could handle it.
          - Display Protection
          - Environment Protection
          - Software Optimization
          - Battery Capacity
          The remaining 4, should not be fairly good or good enough; they must be best in their class to be called gaming specific handset.

                  9.3mm thick but no sd card expansion and headphone jack then you call that "gaming phone", yeah right

                    The front looks incredibly sexy and the back looks incredibly bada$$, these two combinations make the phone look freaking amazing. Reminds me of Samsung's active series, but much much cooler. The lack of a headphone jack does concern me though.

                            Well, without SD card slot there are alternative storage that this device could support. Which you can used USB OTG to transfer a file if the storage is full. I hope this phone could transfer any file quickly : ]

                                So I want to ask you all one last thing if I were to get a Gaming phone which one should it be as I am having a hard time deciding between Razer Phone and Xiaomi Black Shark? tell me which one you would get from both?

                                  No SD card, no problemo , is 64 and 128 GB and is more than enought for any mobile gamer out there. Price is good, lack of 3.5 mm jack is a bummer, but for that price i can't argue with Xiaomi

                                      Specs are surely packing. but for its thickness why not include the 3.5mm audio jack and SD card slot? those two are most important for gaming phone. Xiaomi, you blew it.
