The Xiaomi Civi is Xiaomi’s latest smartphone and the first of a new series. While the specs of the phone are nothing special, what really stands out is the design and the craftsmanship, an area Xiaomi has focused more on lately.
Chinese brands such as Vivo and OPPO have phones that are loved not only for their features but their design. For Vivo, it is its S series while the Reno series is OPPO’s line of design-focused smartphones. Xiaomi wants to capture this market which is pretty popular in its home country of China which is the reason why the Xiaomi Civi exists.
Most of the photos of the new smartphone have come from press renders but live images from ITHome and WHYLAB which have received the phone for review provide a better look at the phone. Trust us when we say the Xiaomi Civi is indeed a stunning phone and we are talking about both colors. The images below should convince you of that.
As you can see, the Xiaomi Civi has a crystal-like finish on the back (more visible on the black variant) which refracts light and gives it an appearance similar to a star-filled sky or to sound cliche “like diamonds in the sky”. Those with a keen eye will see the finish is very similar to OPPO’s Reno Glow design. The popular Weibo account, WHYLAB, has shared photos of the black variant as well as a microscopic photo of the rear to get a closer look at the millions of tiny crystals that give the Xiaomi Civi its appearance.
Xiaomi didn’t focus on just the back of the phone. The front of the phone is home to a 6.55-inch curved display that uses COP packaging technology similar to that of the iPhones. It also has very slim bezels.
The Xiaomi Civi is powered by the Snapdragon 778G processor, has a 64MP triple rear camera setup, a 32MP selfie camera, 4500mAh battery capacity, and support for 55W fast charging.
