A TENAA listing has revealed that Xiaomi may be working on a phone with a curved 4K OLED display that looks almost identical to the just-released Xiaomi Civi phone. We previously covered its complete specifications, but we now also have possible images of the phone, again thanks to TENAA.
First introduced to the world by Sony via its Z5 Premium device, 4K phones have been around for a while now. However, they have more or less been exclusive to Sony. The reluctance in its widespread adoption can be explained by the fact that the crazy dense pixel count on 4K displays is barely noticeable over the more popular QHD resolution. 4K displays are also known to be quite power-hungry. Coupled with the now-standard 120Hz refresh rate, a 4K panel in 2021 will be more taxing on the battery than ever.
Anyway, the alleged soon-to-be-released Xiaomi device sports a 6.55-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) OLED display. Its curvature is slightly noticeable in the image above. There does not seem to be any sign of a punch-hole or notch upfront, but that doesn’t mean anything considering the front is barely lit in the photo.
The phone is touted by many as being the Xiaomi CC11 Pro. Another surprising feature listed on TENAA is “iris recognition”, something that was introduced with the Samsung Galaxy S8 but never became mainstream.
Other known specifications of the device include a 4,500mAh battery with support for up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. While the listing doesn’t specify the processor, we learn that it will be clocked at 2.4GHz. The phone’s dimensions are almost identical to that of the Xiaomi Civi and measure 158.34×71.5×6.98. It weighs fairly light for its size at just 166 grams.
That said, it is worth mentioning here that while TENAA is very reliable, some of the specs mentioned on it about the alleged CC11 Pro may be incorrect. There has also not been any indication yet about a pro/plus variant of the Civi. Thus, it would be advisable to take it all with a pinch of salt.
Honestly, the listed specs do seem a bit far-fetched. But if Xiaomi actually manages to pull off something like this at the right price, there will be little competition for it.
