Xiaomi is prepping to launch its new devices, including the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, both in China and globally. While these are in the pipeline, the company is also working on other devices behind the scenes. One of these is the Xiaomi Civi 4, which we’ve been hearing about through leaks.

Today, tipster Digital Chat Station shared details on Weibo that seem to be about the Xiaomi Civi 4; although he didn’t explicitly mention the device’s name.

DCS’s leak suggests that the upcoming Xiaomi Civi 4 will come with a Snapdragon 8-series processor. If this turns out to be true, it would be a significant upgrade from the Dimensity 8200 over its predecessor, the Civi 3. 

This leak contradicts previous ones though, which suggested a Dimensity 8300 Ultra for the Civi 4. Furthermore, DCS suggests that the device may feature a subtly curved 2.7D display with 1.5K resolution and a sleek metal frame.

Moreover, according to another Weibo tipster, Smart Pikachu, Xiaomi is positioning Civi 4 as a direct competitor to the Honor’s number series smartphones.

He also suggests that the device may have a co-branded edition. Considering the Civi 3 also had a Disney co-branded model, it wouldn’t be surprising if Xiaomi followed a similar strategy with the Civi 4. He also mentions that the device will feature a curved screen, which supports DCS’s leak.

Moreover, the tipster speculates that Xiaomi may launch the Civi 4 smartphone around May. Considering Xiaomi launched the Civi 3 smartphone in May last year, it makes sense to expect a similar launch timeframe for its successor as well.

We will have to wait for official confirmation to learn about the Civi 4, but these preliminary leaks suggest the device will be a compelling mid-range phone. We will keep you posted on any new updates about it.
