Last year September, we saw the launch of the CIVI series in China, Xiaomi’s latest sub-brand that caters to the youth and female market with its sophisticatedly designed premium smartphones that are attractive to the eyes and comfortable to hold in your palms.

And after the sales successes of both the CIVI 1 and CIVI 1S in the country, it is no doubt that Xiaomi is also planning to release the next-generation CIVI 2 this year to capture more market share as well. And today, great news has surfaced online reporting that Xiaomi may launch the Xiaomi CIVI 2 by the end of September this month with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC.
This report comes from the technology news site xiaomiui.net, as the outlet discovered that the Xiaomi CIVI 2 is codenamed as “Ziyi” in the MIUI internal software development environment, and the device is ready to receive an Android 12 based MIUI 13 build update this month.Â

This latest internal MIUI build is V13.0.1.0.SLLCNXM for the Xiaomi CIVI 2 as shown in the graphic above. The news of this latest discovery seems to indicate that Xiaomi is planning to launch the Xiaomi CIVI 2 by the end of September this month considering that the MIUI 13 build for the Xiaomi CIVI 2 is ready for a stable release once it is officially launched in the market.
As for other details of the Xiaomi CIVI 2, the outlet reports that the Xiaomi CIVI 2 will arrive with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, replacing the previous generation CIVI 1S’ Snapdragon 778G+ processor. The device could also sport a 6.55-inch Full HD AMOLED display with a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, a solid triple camera setup, and Xiaomi’s 67W fast wired charging technology.
Another highlighting feature of the upcoming Xiaomi CIVI 2 could also be the upcoming MIUI VLOG Modes. Recently, xiaomiui.net also discovered that Xiaomi had added VLOG Modes in MIUI, but the feature is not yet released to the public. The new modes allow for better color reproduction and more customization filters for videos shot on Xiaomi phones with enhancements done on the software side.
As for the global release of the Xiaomi CIVI 2, reports indicate that the device will not be released outside of China and the device could instead be rebranded as the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE or Xiaomi 13 Lite in global markets launching at a later date. However, the outlet has also gathered intel that the Xiaomi CIVI 2 alongside its alternative rebranded monikers will be not released in the Indian market at all.
