Previously, we introduced the Camellya from Wuthering Waves collaboration model from nubia's REDMAGIC series of gaming smartphones, but Chinese smartphone manufacturers announce and release models featuring collaborations with characters and companies almost every month.
Especially this winter, various models have been released for the overseas Christmas sales and the Singles' Day sale in China on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.
This time, we will introduce four products.
China's Smartphone Market Excites with the Wuthering Waves Boom
nubia's "REDMAGIC 10S Pro Wuthering Waves Edition," as introduced in a previous article, is a highly anticipated product featuring the worldview of Wuthering Waves and Camellya.
Although it sold out after its release, its popularity remains strong even now.
When we visited an electronics store in Shenzhen, China, in November 2025, the REDMAGIC sales corner was running a collaboration campaign with Wuthering Waves, confirming the enduring popularity of this collaboration.
You can't help but feel a little envious of China, where events like this take place almost every month.
Now, let's introduce the four collaborative smartphones that appeared this winter.
nubia REDMAGIC 11 Pro+ Golden Saga Edition
The successor model to the REDMAGIC 10S Pro, nubia's "REDMAGIC 11 Pro+," appeared as a collaboration model with Golden Saga, called the "REDMAGIC 11 Pro+ Golden Saga Edition."
Golden Saga is an F2P strategy game where players explore, build bases, and battle for lost treasures in an underground world after the Gold Rush, but it is not very well known in Japan.
It is also known overseas as a game for connoisseurs.
The "REDMAGIC 11 Pro+" is a high-spec smartphone equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
The circular slit on the back, which appears to glow, is for showcasing the world's first liquid cooling system.
It circulates liquid inside the main unit for efficient heat dissipation.
The "REDMAGIC 11 Pro+ Golden Saga Edition" is sold for 9,999 yuan (approximately 1,415 USD), featuring a PC-level specification with a memory configuration of 24GB + 1TB storage.
The main unit adopts supercar-grade carbon fiber material for the back panel, finished with a sophisticated design that balances strength and light weight.
The display is covered with aerospace-grade sapphire glass, and the mirror-finished silver frame is gold-plated on the power button, the REDMAGIC logo, and the Golden Saga emblem, respectively.
It is a product that satisfies both easy game play and the desire for ownership.
OPPO Reno14 F Dark Side Limited Edition
OPPO released the Star Wars collaboration smartphone, "OPPO Reno14 F Dark Side Limited Edition," in Mexico.
It is a limited sale, with a price of 11,999 Mexican pesos (approximately 656 USD).
The base model "Reno14 F" is a mid-range model equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, a 50-megapixel wide-angle camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 6,000mAh battery.
The package is a luxury specification, and the large collector's box with a Death Star-style design contains a serial number.
Accessories include a Death Star II motif stand, a Darth Vader motif keychain, a logo-printed 45W compatible USB Type-C charger, a dedicated color USB Type-C cable, and a specially designed SIM pin.
Incidentally, regarding Star Wars collaboration smartphones, Samsung released the "Galaxy Note10+ Star Wars Special Edition" in 2019, and in Japan, SoftBank also released the Sharp-made "Star Wars Mobile Limited Edition SW001SH" in 2016.
Star Wars smartphones will continue to appear on the market periodically.
Xiaomi REDMI K90 Pro Max Champion Edition
The "REDMI K90 Pro Max" is a super-high-performance smartphone within Xiaomi's cost-performance model "REDMI" series.
It not only adopts the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 but also features a 7W subwoofer on the back, developed in partnership with BOSE.
As the world's first smartphone with a 2.1ch stereo system, it can reproduce powerful sound.
The collaboration model of this high-performance, high-sound quality smartphone with Lamborghini is the "REDMI K90 Pro Max Champion Edition."
The design is based on Lamborghini's first racing hybrid prototype car, the "Lamborghini SC63," and adopts a Y-shaped speed design on the back as a perfect fusion of technology and speed.
This Y-shaped design has also been adopted in previous Lamborghini collaboration models.
The back texture incorporates the sharp lines of the carbon fiber body, and the main unit is said to come with a dedicated boot animation, charging effect, wallpaper, and a circuit-style theme.
According to the product description, it is a device that responds to the longing for an exhilarating drive every time the screen is turned on.
Accessories with the Lamborghini logo are also included in the slim package, which is designed to resemble a sports car.
This is also a device that satisfies the desire for ownership. The price is 5,499 yuan (approximately 778 USD).
It continues to be out of stock on Xiaomi's online store, indicating its high popularity.
realme GT8 Pro Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition
This is also a collaboration model with a sports car, but the realme GT8 Pro has a slightly different characteristic from other smartphones.
It is a high-end smartphone adopting the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but the camera is a collaboration with Japan's RICOH GR.
You can experience the GR shooting experience on a smartphone.
The collaboration model with Aston Martin F1 appeared as a limited edition of such a camera phone.
The camera of the "realme GT8 Pro Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition" is a 50-megapixel wide-angle, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, and a 200-megapixel 3x telephoto.
Its performance as a camera phone is on par with the flagship models of other companies.
Moreover, it has an interesting mechanism: the camera's base, the bump part, can be exchanged for circular or rectangular parts.
You can enjoy changing the appearance of the camera part as if you were tinkering with a machine.
The price is 5,499 yuan (approximately 778 USD), but this one is also in short supply.
We can't take our eyes off the new products from Chinese manufacturers to see what kind of collaboration model will appear next.
