It's a shame the Black Shark smartphone line has ended. I really like this phone. I've been using it for five years now, and everything works perfectly. This phone is so durable that the display didn't break even after I slammed it hard against a fence or even after a bull kicked it (I've replaced the screen protector twice since then).
Cons- Not all games support 120 and 144 fps.
