Xiaomi’s Black Shark brand offers some pretty powerful smartphones for the price, as well as a few gaming-focused features. We’ve already seen the Black Shark 2 launch earlier this year, but the company is getting ready for another device.

The brand announced on Weibo earlier today that the Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro is coming. Furthermore, an attached poster notes a July 30 reveal date for the gaming phone.

The post doesn’t tell us anything else about the new phone, but the Black Shark Weibo account shared news of the Snapdragon 855 Plus announcement earlier this week. This suggests that the Black Shark 2 Pro will be packing the slightly upgraded flagship processor.

Here are the best phones for gaming (April 2019)

In the past year,  there's been a surge of smartphones focused on giving the best gaming experience. It makes sense — more and more mobile games are pushing the envelope in graphics, gameplay, and features. What are …

The Black Shark 2 Pro wouldn’t be the only phone packing the Snapdragon 855 Plus though, as Asus has confirmed that the ROG Phone 2 will offer the chipset. Realme has also mentioned the new processor on Weibo, suggesting that it’s got a Snapdragon 855 Plus phone in the works too.

We don’t know much else about the upcoming phone though, but the Black Shark 2 was a pretty impressive device on paper. The previous release packed a 4,000mAh battery, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, 27 watt charging, a Shark Key to enter the phone’s gaming zone, and a 6.39-inch OLED screen with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

We thought the last Black Shark device was a solid purchase, with our own Eric Zeman calling it a good (but not great) phone in his Black Shark 2 review. Eric praised the performance, battery life, and software, but lamented the fixed storage, lack of a 3.5mm port, and limited LTE support. What do you want to see from the Black Shark 2 Pro?

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
