With the huge development of the mobile world, the products launched to the market began to diversify according to their usage needs. Undoubtedly, we can show these as an example of game-oriented smartphones, which have become increasingly widespread in recent years. Currently, companies such as ASUS, Xiaomi and ZTE continue to successfully appeal to their users in this field.
However, a sales claim has recently been made for the Black Shark brand, which is part of Xiaomi, one of the world’s largest smartphone manufacturers. In fact, we all know the company that wants to buy the brand from afar.
Black Shark 5 features are starting to become clear
In the past weeks, the certificates of the Black Shark 5 model, whose first leaks have been shared and attracting attention with its features, have emerged.
Is Xiaomi selling the Black Shark brand to Tencent?
According to information from sources close to the company, Tencent Games, which came to mind with PUBG Mobile, has a plan to buy the Black Shark brand, which is famous for its game-oriented smartphones. The company, which has already been in cooperation with Xiaomi since the Black Shark 3 model, started negotiations to take things to the next level and buy the brand. Let’s say that the figure spoken for this job is around 470 million dollars.
Tencent Games, if it achieves its goal, wants to enter the Metaverse universe, which we have started to hear recently, by giving the brand an identity change. Accordingly, Black Shark is expected to produce VR-based technology and devices, while Tencent is expected to focus on the software side.
Of course, with the concept of Metaverse gradually becoming widespread, it is quite natural for a giant game company like Tencent Games to make such a move. We can say that the popularity of Black Shark, which is currently playing with player phones, can increase even more if the project in question is realized.
However, for now, neither Xiaomi nor Tencent Games has the slightest explanation on the subject. According to information from reliable sources, Xiaomi is preparing to sell the Black Shark brand, in which it owns 46.4% of its shares.
