Earlier this year, Xiaomi released a special edition of its Civi 3 smartphone in collaboration with Disney. The product celebrates 100 years of Disney. A few months after that, the company is now teasing yet another device as part of the partnership. Once again, the brand will be using Civi 3. However, the Disney character used for theming will be different.
Xiaomi says that it will unveil its second
Disney 100th anniversary smartphone on January 22. It will be announced in
China at 7 PM local time (GMT+8). As per the teaser shared by the company, the
special edition phone will be again based on Civi 3. But it will be themed
after the Disney Pixar character ‘Strawberry Bear’ instead of ‘Mickey Mouse’
like the first model.
For the unaware, ‘Strawberry Bear’ is the
common name used in China for the Toy Story 3 character ‘Lotso.’ This
character’s full name is Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear. Thus, the handset will be likely
in ‘strawberry pink’ color. It might also have the said character engraved on
its rear glass panel. The retail box may also include stickers as well as a
customized case and SIM ejector pin.
In terms of specs, there will be no
changes. It will be identical to the regular version and may come in a sole
12GB + 512GB memory configuration. The Civi 3 sports a 6.55-inch FHD+ 120Hz
curved OLED display with a pill-shaped cutout and Dolby Vision support. It is
powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultra chip paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS
3.1 storage.
It arrives with a 50MP (wide, OIS) + 8MP
(ultrawide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera system on the rear and a 32MP (wide) +
32MP (ultrawide) dual camera setup on the front. Other features include an
in-screen fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, a 4,500mAh battery, and 67W
wired charging support.
