The year 2020 is expected to be headlined by 5G phones especially in China. Already, top brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo have all launched some 5G models. Luxury brand 8848 Mobile isn’t planning to be left out of the 5G race as it announced its first 5G phone dubbed 8848 Titanium M6 in December last year. The brand is now set to launch the 5G phone in China.
A couple of teaser posters shared on 8848 Mobile’s Weibo page shows that the M6 smartphone will go on pre-sale on March 29. When that happens, the flagship phone will become the first 5G luxury phone, that is if we don’t count the custom versions of the Galaxy S20 and such like. The phone will come with a premium titanium body, the teaser hints. The teaser also promised a design crafted with the best form of craftsmanship.
Talking of the specs, the 8848 Titanium M6 is expected to feature a 6.01-inch AMOLED display and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset which brings dual-mode SA and NSA 5G bands. The smartphone will equally come with up to 12GB of RAM and a whopping 1TB of storage. We expect it to have other lower memory variants. On the camera end, t will have It also has a 64MP camera that can shoot 100MP photos.
We don’t have details of the pricing yet but the previous-generation 8848 M5 was released in August 2018 with a base price of 12,999 yuan (~$1,831). Thus, the M6 is expected to be higher than that. The luxury phone market is not a very popular one but since 8848 Mobile had kept faith with its product like, we want to assume it has enough buyers to warrant investing in 5G phone.
