Xiaomi just unveiled the Xiaomi Civi, a smartphone, unlike anything they’ve ever launched. Although this phone is marketed for women, a man can be quite intrigued by it. The phone was released on 21st September. This article will share a thorough observation of the Xiaomi Civi.

Key Features of Xiaomi Civi

Design

At first glance at the Xiaomi Civi box, it’s unexpected that the phone does not have a charger, but happily, Xiaomi is still offering consumers two options: environmental support or self-viewing.

Additionally, this box fits Xiaomi Civi’s idea of a thin and light body, which gives the impression of being thin and light from the outside to the inside.

Along with the phone body and data cord, the packaging includes a Type-C To Audio adaptor cable; given that the phone lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack, this becomes quite useful.

From the first day of PR warm-up, the keywords should be beauty, selfie, and good-looking, implying that in addition to the phone itself is attractive, the goal is to provide customers with a pleasant experience, namely, selfie.

The material used for the phone’s rear cover is also critical to the phone’s appearance. The phone received the model called “flash black” using the velvet AG process, which is uniquely the first time Xiaomi has adopted new technology. Compared to the conventional AG process, the velvet AG process maintains the AG process’s skin-friendly smooth feel, resulting in a crystal-shiny visual sense that not only looks good but also feels like skin gel.

Display

When comparing the official specifications of the Civi’s screen, a little difference between it and the XIAOMI 11 Lite 5G NE may be observed. The refresh rate of the Civi has been increased to 120Hz, and the max brightness has been increased somewhat as well. However, after a week of usage, the difference in screen size between the two is extremely noticeable.

For instance, when a device transitions from a straight to a curved screen, the bezels get reduced. The bottom bezel, in particular, is thinner than that of Xiaomi’s own flagship phone, the Mi 11 Ultra. Additionally, it utilizes an under-screen fingerprint scanner rather than a side fingerprint scanner.

The Xiaomi 11 Lite NE’s screen is made up of RGB Delta Pixels, which resulted in a very low level of screen clarity, which was corrected on the Civi. After switching the screen provider to Diamond-like pixels, the clarity is the same as that of Samsung’s screen.

The issue with rainbow lines on the screen, on the other hand, is a little more problematic than with earlier phones. In general, the Xiaomi Civi’s screen is superior to that of the XIAOMI 11 Lite 5G NE.

Rear Cameras

The three-camera lens combination at the rear consists of a 64MP main lens with a 1/1.97′′ sensor and a 6P lens with a 24mm focal length equivalent; a super wide-angle lens of 8MP with a FOV of 120° and a 5P lens with a focal length of 16mm equivalent; and finally, a 2MP macro lens with a 4cm focus distance.

When the subject’s clarity and the degree of automatic background defocusing are combined perfectly, there will be no edge on the blurred processing, for the primary photography of thin and high-value phones is to examine the lens configuration parameters, but after the shutter is pressed, the real app begins.

Front Camera

For a phone that is primarily focused on selfie beauty and is perhaps the most expensive Xiaomi has ever created, we have finally given you its selfie performance on the positive film without further ado.

The impact of beauty is something that the author, as a straight man, naturally knows very little about, but picking up Civi open selfie to view the photo of the girl, that sensation of delight is no less than the jackpot, genuine females for whom the search of beauty is a lifetime goal.

In the early days of cell phone selfies, the pores were directly given to you to grind the kind of white, it appears as if there is no blood white, but these years, the rear phone lens has advanced, the front lens has not stopped, Xiaomi Civi front selfie has 32MP HD pixels and dual soft light, plus AF autofocus. Additionally, the photographs will seem more natural, resembling artificial makeup rather than random machine peeling.

Performance and Software

Since then, the Snapdragon 778G has been released, and an increasing number of manufacturers are using it. Although it is a Qualcomm 7 series mid-range chip, the end price of products equipped with it is quite high, ranging from more than a thousand to more than three thousand dollars, which makes it somewhat “alien”.

The Snapdragon 778G is built on TSMC’s 6nm technology and has the eight-core Kryo 670 architecture. It features a maximum primary frequency of 2.4GHz and a claimed performance boost of more than 40% over the previous generation. The GPU is an Adreno 642L, which provides a performance boost of more than 40%.

Battery and Charging

This time around, the Xiaomi Civi’s box is similarly unassuming; it lacks both a charger and a charging wire. Naturally, if Xiaomi’s charger is not included, it will arrive with a different charger. Similarly to the charger that comes with it, the phone supports up to 55w of charging power. It takes ten minutes to charge to 27%, half an hour to reach 77%, and 45 minutes to reach 100%.

Price of Xiaomi Civi in Bangladesh

Xiaomi has announced that the phone will be only released in China, and the global users won’t get a taste of it. It is available at the price of BDT 34999 in China. Here, 1 CNY = 13.47 BDT.

Conclusion

The female mobile phone market is quite barren; there are items for fans, but the author is not a fan of a particular celebrity and is just wanting to get a good-looking thin and light performing phone.

It is born from the world’s first 100-million-pixel CC, but fully free of the CC’s shadow; its look is the crystallization of Xiaomi’s female market research; males may have a range of views, but females will understand Xiaomi Civi’s charm.
