Redmi Note 12 Turbo Harry Potter Special Edition revealed ahead of official launch: Specifications

HIGHLIGHTS

* Redmi Note 12 Turbo Harry Potter edition has been officially teased by the brand.
* The customised box package would come with a Magic wand and flags of various Hogwarts teams.
* The custom edition might also feature customised themes, icon packs and more.

Tech companies have been increasingly collaborating with Hollywood studios to release special editions of their products tied to popular movies.

These collaborations offer fans a chance to own a piece of memorabilia related to their favourite films while also providing tech companies with an opportunity to market their products to a wider audience.

For example, Samsung has partnered with Marvel Studios in the past to release Avengers-themed versions of its smartphones, while Apple has collaborated with Disney to create Star Wars-inspired versions of its popular AirPods.

As per the latest reports, Redmi is gearing up to launch a Harry Potter-themed version of their upcoming smartphone, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo.

A Redmi Note 12 Turbo ‘Harry Potter’ edition has been teased by the brand on Weibo before the Turbo edition’s launch on March 28th in China.

The special edition model is expected to launch later this month, after the Redmi Note 12 Turbo goes official in China.

We believe (and hope) the partnership may expand to other markets outside of China and allow fans to purchase memorabilia from the popular novel and movie series.

Redmi Note 12 Turbo ‘Harry Potter’ edition will come in customised packaging, with the Hogwarts logo in the middle of the box and Redmi X Harry Potter branding at the bottom.

Customers buying the special edition will get the Magic Wand and flags of various Hogwarts teams inside the box.

We believe the handset may get customised themes, icon packs and much more.

Redmi Note 12 Turbo Specifications (Expected)

Redmi Note 12 Turbo will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen2 SoC paired with Adreno GPU.

The chipset could be paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage that might be further expandable. The phone is expected to pack a 5,500mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.
