This is not the first time Tencent has gotten itself in a partnership with a smartphone company as last year it joined hands with Asus for the ROG Phone 2.

And going by this new partnership with Tencent. it has given rise to similar expectations and who knows, we might see an Tencent Elite version of Black Shark 3.

However, not much has been revealed about the phone but it is rumored to have a 120 Hz display with options to change the refresh rate between 60 Hz, 90 Hz and 120 Hz.
