8848, the Chinese luxury smartphone brand, has just launched a new and very expensive version of its existing M6 Luxury smartphone. The 8848 M6 Private Customized Dragon Limited Edition is the company’s latest ultra premium grade flagship that is being offered from a starting price of 4,400 US Dollars.

Design

The design of the newly launched luxury handset is probably its most striking aspect. Just from the first look, one can tell that the smartphone is built with premium materials that are expensive. The 8848 M6 Private Customized Dragon Limited Edition is essentially the 8848 Titanium M6 that went on sale earlier this year, with an identical form factor. However, what sets the device apart is the level of detail in the design that can be seen on the rear. The company has called on experts to design its unique rear panel that resembles more of an art piece than just an attractive rear panel.

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.

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.
