Even if you’re not familiar with Daniel Arsham, you’ve probably seen his crystalline Pokémon sculptures. Through cooperation between Xiaomi and the New York-based artist, fans may now have a comparable makeover on a smartphone. The Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham Edition is a perfect recreation of the artist’s trademark “fictional archaeology” feel, with bronze crystals placed in an eroded green patina.
There are no exposed crystals on the phone, but the printed jewels and patina give off a realistic sheen as you gently tilt the gadget. Similarly, the software’s accompanying theme includes a live wallpaper that adjusts gradually in response to the device’s movements to create a 3D illusion.
