Xiaomi has confirmed to launch a new smartphone series called Xiaomi CIVI in China on September 27. As we are only a few days from the announcement, the company has now begun to tease this device. Today, the firm has shared a video and posters revealing the design of the phone. At the same time, a popular leaker has even shared the live images.
According to the official teasers by Xiaomi, the upcoming Xiaomi CIVI will likely compete against the vivo S and the OPPO Reno series of smartphones in China. Just like the handsets from the competition, this one will be also focused on design and camera.
From the video and poster, we can see that the phone has a triangular triple camera array. This camera placement design was popularized by vivo with the launch of the vivo X50 series. Now, even other OEMs like Meizu with its Meizu 18x and Xiaomi have started using this design.
Further, the handset has a curved display and an AG Glass back, which appears to be identical to OPPO Reno Glow design on the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G. But unlike OPPO, Xiaomi uses a metal frame instead of a plastic frame. Also, the color combination is unique with a gold-colored frame and a blue gradient rear finish.
Talking about placements, the power and volume keys sit on the right side, while the left side has nothing. The bottom of the device includes a USB Type-C port, a speaker grille, a primary microphone hole, and a SIM card slot. Lastly, the top houses a secondary microphone hole, an IR blaster, another speaker grille, and Dolby Atmos branding.
Xiaomi is yet to reveal the features of Xiaomi CIVI yet. However, the firm and Digital Chat Station have confirmed that this smartphone measures 6.98mm in thickness and weighs 166g.
Having said that, we expect the company to drop more teasers revealing the features of this phone every day until the day of the launch on September 27.
