In the midrange segment, several smartphone manufacturers are focusing on design because people appreciate purchasing beautiful devices with a great quality price ratio. But the latest Xiaomi mid-ranger is not the only one with a stunning design. Among the other ones released in the last period and belonging to the same price range, there is Vivo V25 Pro. We already compared the latest Civi to the OPPO Reno8 5G, another very beautiful phone. Now, we think it is time for a comparison between the main specifications of the Xiaomi Civi 2 and the Vivo V25 Pro.

Design

The Xiaomi Civi 2 has a very refined design, as already mentioned, it is one of the best in this aspect. It is built with premium materials including aluminum for the frame and glass for the rear side, protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It is one of the thinnest phones out there as it is just 7.2 mm thick, and it is even one of the most lightweight with a weight of just 172 grams. Last but not least, it is the first Android phone with something similar to the Dynamic Island by Apple: indeed, it has a pill shaped punch hole placed centrally on the upper part of the display. The Vivo V25 Pro is another beautiful phone with its glass back and a color changing rear cover when exposed to UV rays (such as under direct sunlight). But it is not able to compete with its rival in this comparison.

 

Display

If we consider the specs on the paper, the Xiaomi Civi 2 has a superior display. It is an AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors and is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It has a diagonal of 6.55 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. On the Vivo V25 Pro, you can find an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.56 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2376 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 1,300 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader. These devices are not equipped with stereo speakers and they do not feature 3.5 mm jacks, so you can only rely on an adapter or wireless earbuds.

 

Specs & Software

When it comes to the hardware, the Xiaomi Civi 2 is the winner. It is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz (it has an octa-core architecture), paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. The Vivo V25 Pro has a faster UFS 3.1 internal storage, but the chipset is inferior: a Dimensity 1300 by Mediatek built with a 6 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex A78 CPU running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.6 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G77 MC9 GPU. Alongside the Dimensity 1300, there are up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage. These phones run Android 12 out of the box and they are supposed to get at least two major updates to the next Android versions.

 

Camera

The rear camera departments of these devices are very different. The main camera found on the Vivo V25 Pro is more interesting not only due to its 64 MP resolution but especially due to the presence of optical stabilization. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Civi 2 lacks OIS but comes with a better 20 MP ultrawide camera. Last but not least, the Civi has a superior front camera setup including two sensors with 32 MP resolutions; one of them is an ultrawide camera and there is also a front-facing LED flash with each flash sporting two LEDs.

 

 

Battery

With the Vivo V25 Pro, you can obtain a longer battery life in several scenarios due to the presence of a bigger battery: the battery capacity of this phone is 4830 mAh. The Xiaomi Civi 2 has just 4500 mAh, so it is unlikely to provide a comparable battery life. The charging speeds are more or less the same because these phones feature similar charging technologies.

 

Price

The starting price of the Vivo V25 Pro for the Indian market roughly translates into €440/$432 at the actual change, while the Xiaomi Civi 2 starts from €350/$344 at the actual change in the Chinese market. Which one would you pick?
