Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham Edition is a highly artistic smartphone that reproduces Daniel Arsham’s “fictional archeology”.
Whether you’re familiar with Daniel Arsham’s name or not, chances are you’ve already seen his work: some very successful and impressive crystallized Pokémon sculptures. Fans can now have a similar artistic rendering on their smartphone. This is thanks to a collaboration between Xiaomi and an artist based in New York. The Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham Edition offers a faithful reproduction of the artist’s iconic “fictitious archeology”, which consists mainly of bronze crystals in a blurred green patina.
Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham Edition is a very artistic smartphone.
You won’t find any protruding crystals on this phone, but the stones imprinted in the plating and patina give a convincing effect when you give the phone a little shake. Similarly, the OS theme is adorned with live wallpapers that move as you move your device, creating a pretty successful parallax effect.
