The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Forbidden City Edition is going
on sale in December (the company didn’t specify an exact date). It will cost
CNY 5,000 (US$ 720/€ 630). That's the same price as the 8/256GB model (the base
6/128GB model is CNY 3,300).
This special edition will pack 10GB of RAM (the
first model in the Mix 3 lineup to do so). Also, it’s a different kind of blue
– it’s inspired by the ceramic vases of one of the ruling dynasties of China.
Fitting as the back of the phone is made of ceramic.
Also, there’s a gold inlay of a mythical create on
the back of the phone. The Forbidden City retail package will come with a cool
case that features an even bigger rendition of the beast and you’ll get a
statuette of it, a scale version of those found in the eponymous city (the
statuette is plated with 24K gold).
The case also includes a 10W wireless charger, but
all Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 models have it.
