A Xiaomi phone with model number 2210129SG was certified by the FCC authority in September. Later, it was also spotted at Singapore’s IMDA and Europe’s EEC certification platforms. Now the same device has appeared in the IMEI database with the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE moniker.

It seems that the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE heading to the global market will be a rebranded or tweaked version of the China-exclusive Xiaomi CIVI 2, which has a 2209129SC model number. Since the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE has bagged some important certifications, it appears that the device may go official by the end of this month.
