About Xiaomi Black Shark Helo

The Xiaomi Black Shark Helo features a colour AM‑OLED screen that measures 5.99 inches diagonally and delivers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 by 2160 pixels. Encased in a chassis that is 75.26 mm wide, 160 mm tall and just 8.7 mm thick, the device feels compact yet substantial, weighing in at 190 grams.

Under the hood it runs Android 8.1 Oreo and is equipped with a generous 10 GiB of RAM, aiming to keep multitasking and gaming smooth. Power comes from a 4 000 mAh battery, and the handset supports a single SIM card for cellular connectivity.

This variant

Unlike the base model’s 10 GiB of RAM, this Premium Edition ships with 8 GiB, which may affect multitasking headroom. It also offers 128 GB of internal storage, placing it between the 64 GB standard and the 256 GB premium versions. While the base model and this variant both use a single SIM slot, all the other listed editions (the two standard models and the 256 GB premium) provide dual‑SIM capability.
