Chinese luxury smartphone maker, 8848 Titanium, has announced that it will have an event on October 18. The event which will be a 5G strategy conference will see the manufacturer announce its plans for the 5G era and most likely, its first 5G luxury smartphone.

8848 Titanium has released a poster for the event but it doesn’t reveal any info about the upcoming device. 8858 Titanium 5G phone might as well be the first luxury 5G smartphone when it launches on Friday.

We expect the upcoming phone to maintain the design of its predecessors such as a hexagonal titanium frame, leather-covered back, gold screws, and sapphire glass-covered camera lens and display with customization options to cater to individual requests. It should also be hand-assembled like a luxury watch.

8848 phones also have security software features such as a private mode and a work mode. This will allow users to have two accounts for apps such as WeChat. They also have an advanced call manager with features such as call encryption and call spam blocker. Some of their phones also have a secondary display on the back.

8848 Titanium phones are usually powered by a Snapdragon processor, so this 5G phone should feature the Snapdragon 855 processor along with the Snapdragon X50 modem.

8848 is a Chinese company known for releasing very expensive and original luxury phones. The latest handset released by the Chinese company is the M4 Titanium, one of the most refined smartphones in terms of aesthetics. It features a titanium alloy, head layer cowhide, a sapphire glass for the display, ceramic and more.

Now it looks like this device released in 2017 has a successor. A new handset dubbed 8848 M5 Titanium has just been certified by TENAA. The Chinese regulatory handset has published the images and the main specs of the upcoming flagship. It is not so different from its predecessor as it retains its hexagonal form factor as well as a leather back and a dual display. The main display is a TFT panel with a size of 5.65 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2016 pixels, while the secondary display is placed on the back — it is circular and it resembles a watch.
