 Xiaomi announced the Black Shark 2, its third gaming phone. It comes with up to 12GB of RAM -- 4GB more RAM than you'll find in new MacBook Pro and Dell XPS laptops.

That's the first of several big numbers on the Black Shark 2's resume. It's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor and a 4,000mAh battery. On the back you'll find a 48-megapixel and 12-megapixel dual-camera combo to match the 20-megapixel selfie shooter. It comes in four configurations, starting with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and up to the aforementioned 12GB RAM, 256GB model.

Plus, its 6.39-inch OLED screen has a Samsung-made in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone lets you map buttons onscreen, meaning you're not limited by physical buttons.
