We’re still a day away from the reveal of the details of Xiaomi’s collaboration with Hatsune Miku, but that hasn’t stopped nearly the full details about the campaign from leaking!

Thanks to leaks, we know that Xiaomi will announce a special Hatsune Miku edition of their Mi 6X phone, which is a premium mid-range device. This is a step up from last year’s Miku edition Redmi Note 4X, which was a budget mid-range.

The Miku Edition Mi 6X bundle will include the phone, along with their well-known Mi powerbank (likely the 10,000 mAh model). Both of which will feature lineart on the backside by an illustrator we’re friends with, @ZY_Remix!

The full collaboration details will be officially announced on June 28th, China time, while the expected launch date is July 3rd. It will be priced at 2099 Chinese Yuan ($320 USD). Here’s what we know about the device, according to the alleged leaks:

Special Hatsune Miku Edition Xiaomi
– Screen: 5.99″ at 1080×2160
– Chipset: Snapdragon 660 CPU, Adreno 512 GPU
– RAM/Storage: 6GB/128GB
– Front Camera: 20MP (f1.8)
– Rear Cameras: 12MP (f1.8) + 20MP (f1.8)
– Battery: 3010 mAh
– OS: Android 8.1 / MIUI 9.5
– Rear Fingerprint

The phone is said to launch on July 3rd on Xiaomi’s Chinese webstore, but we’ll know for sure after the official announcements tomorrow. Stay tuned! As a bonus, here’s a short video released by Xiaomi for reaching 2 million points on their support campaign, as well as a teaser artwork posted by one of the campaign illustrators, Mame no Moto.

Just a few days left until the Miku Expo 2018 USA and MX tour kicks off, and Los Angeles is the first stop of the tour on June 29th! We’re also happy to announce that one one of our staff (the one currently writing) will be attending the Los Angeles event, and we’re also giving away 150 sets of glow sticks, along with MikuFan.com pin badges featuring the beautiful art drawn for our website by Asahi Kuroi!

Each “MikuFan Glow Stick Bundle” includes:
– One 6″ green chemical glow stick w/ string
– One MikuFan.com pin badge (1.25″ diameter)
– One MikuFan.com contact card

The glow stick sets will be given away near the Microsoft Theater venue in the final hours leading up to the event, likely starting at about 3PM on June 29th. Feel free to come by and say hello, and grab a glow stick before they’re gone! And don’t worry, we’ll still have plenty of pin badges after the glow sticks run out!

If you’re wondering how to find MikuFan staff, look for someone wearing the MikuFan.com T-shirt seen below. We’ll see you at the event!
