Design and Build
The Xiaomi Black Shark Gaming Tablet features a glass front, aluminum alloy frame, and aluminum alloy back, which provide durability and a premium finish.

Additionally, it offers a sharp 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio, resulting in around 343 ppi density. As a result, users enjoy smooth gameplay and crisp visuals.

The Xiaomi Black Shark Gaming Tablet runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (4 nm) chipset.
