This is the year of beautiful phones. Yes, because besides the innovative form factor we saw with several foldable phones, the beautiful designs made their way into the midrange segment as well. A perfect example is the Xiaomi Civi 2 with its outstanding aesthetics: we know that there was already a predecessor with a beautiful design, but this year a lot more brands decided to release amazing mid-rangers in terms of design. One of them is definitely the Realme 10 Pro Plus, another handset that looks like a flagship and it is even more beautiful than the devices from the GT series. But besides knowing which is the most beautiful, people also need to know which one has the best specifications. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the Xiaomi Civi 2 and the Realme 10 Pro Plus that will help you to find out.

Design

In my opinion, the most interesting device in terms of design is the Xiaomi Civi 2. First of all, it is built with premium materials: glass for the back and aluminum for the frame. Further, it is one of the thinnest devices of this year, with a thickness of just 7.2 mm. Despite that, it contains a pretty good battery. Last but not least, it is equipped with a curved screen at the sides and a pill-shaped punch-hole that looks like the Dynamic Island of the latest iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The Realme 10 Pro Plus is another very beautiful phone, with a curved display at the sides, a very high screen to body ratio, and a minimalistic camera module on the rear side. However, it is bigger and thicker than the Xiaomi, which is the reason why I prefer the compact design of the Civi 2.

Display

The display specifications of these two devices are not so different, but on the paper, it looks like the Xiaomi Civi 2 has a slightly better panel. It is an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.55 inches able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. On the other hand, the Realme 10 Pro Plus has a wider panel, with a diagonal of 6.7 inches. The AMOLED panel of the Realme 10 Pro+ sports a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, it can display up to one billion colors, it has a 120 Hz refresh rate and a brightness of 800 nits. Both phones come with an in-display fingerprint reader, but the Realme is the only one with stereo speakers.

Specs & Software

The hardware setup of the Xiaomi Civi 2 is superior to the one found on the Realme 10 Pro Plus simply because this phone comes with a better chipset. We are talking about the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform, built with a 4 nm production process, sporting an octa-core architecture, and running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz. With the Realme 10 Pro Plus, you get the Dimensity 1080 chipset by MediaTek built with a 6 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 2.6 GHz: the Dimensity 1080 is not only inferior to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, but even to the predecessor Snapdragon 778G. The highest-end memory configurations are the same, with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage, but the Realme runs Android 13 out of the box, while the Xiaomi ships with Android 12.

Camera

The Xiaomi Civi 2 has a better camera setup: it includes a triple rear camera with a 50 MP main sensor, a 20 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 2 MP macro lens, as well as an amazing dual front camera composed of two 32 MP sensors, including an ultrawide one.

Battery

The Realme 10 Pro Plus provides a longer battery life thanks to the presence of a bigger 5000 mAh battery against just 4500 mAh found on the Xiaomi Civi 2.

Price

You need about €350/$366 to purchase the Xiaomi Civi 2, while the Realme 10 Pro+ starts from about €263/$275. Which one would you pick?
