It has been a while since the last time we’ve heard the news about Black Shark. Apparently, Xiaomi’s gaming sub-brand already moved on with its 2021 schedule and is focusing on its next gaming smartphone. However, enthusiasts of the hardware-focused brand will have something to enjoy in the last days of 2020. The brand has just announced a bunch of new accessories for mobile smartphones. These accessories include a fast-charger, charging cables for Android and iPhone, and shoulder buttons for mobile gaming.
We all know that Black Shark is a sub-brand that brings smartphones focused on the gaming experience. It’s curious to see that now, the company is moving on to release accessories. Some of them are simple, but others will try to bring the good gaming experience offered by gaming phones. Some users don’t want to get an expensive gaming phone but can certainly enjoy a shoulder buttons add-on. The company seems to be “testing” a new range of Black-Shark branded products, and honestly, this seems to be a smart way to go.

The first product unveiled by the company is a new fast charger with dual-ports. It has a USB-C port and a USB-A port with a foldable plug. The charger has a maximum power output of 30W, however, we don’t know what each port outputs are. Unfortunately, there still no official listing for the new product.
