The Xiaomi Civi was announced today in China. Other than its stunning design and build, the specifications of the smartphone are no different from what we have seen from a lot of other upper mid-range devices. However, there is one thing that the Civi has in common with other Xiaomi flagships released this year.

Just like the Xiaomi 11 series, the Xiaomi Civi does not come with a charger included in the box. As seen in early unboxing videos, the Xiaomi Civi comes in a slim box with a thickness similar to that of the Mi 11 series. Inside the box is the phone, a clear TPU case, and the usual documents.

This is the first non-flagship Xiaomi phone that isn’t shipping with a charger included in the box. However, it appears Xiaomi is sending reviewers a power adapter with the phone. The poster above also states that those who purchase the phone will get an optional 55W GaN charger in a separate pack just as Xiaomi did with the Xiaomi Mi 11.

The Xiaomi Civi has a 6.53-inch curved AMOLED screen with a centered punch hole and a 120Hz refresh rate. There is a 32MP camera behind the cut-out in the screen and an in-display fingerprint scanner in the bottom half.

Powering the Xiaomi Civi is the Snapdragon 778G processor and it is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of non-expandable storage. The main rear camera is a 64MP sensor and it is paired with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera and a 2MP macro camera.

Under the glass body is a 4500mAh battery with support for 55W fast charging just like the Mi 11. There is dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, infrared blaster, and dual-SIM support. Xiaomi ships the phone with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11.
