Xiaomi added another device to its Civi lineup today with the official launch of the Civi 5 Pro in China. While the spotlight of the event is undoubtedly the Xiaomi 15s Pro and its in-house Xring O1 chipset, the Civi 5 Pro also brings respectable hardware with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC and a more modest price.
Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro Specifications
The Civi 5 Pro centers around a 6.55-inch quad-curved OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a dual-hole camera cutout. The screen has a peak brightness of 1400 nits and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The phone’s design leans heavily on symmetry and texture. It has a metal frame and a slightly niche “Iced American” color option that carries a faint aroma of coffee grounds.
For imaging, Xiaomi is again leaning on its Leica partnership. The rear houses a triple camera setup led by a 50MP main sensor with a Summilux lens and OIS. On the supporting role are a 50MP upright floating telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom (Samsung JN5), and a 12MP ultrawide.
On the front, the phone has a 50MP selfie camera. It is embedded with what the company describes as a “super-transparent nano-prism” that supposedly improves photosensitivity by 25% over previous models.
Powering the Civi 5 Pro is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, which Xiaomi claims offers performance boosts of 31% (CPU), 49% (GPU), and 44% (AI) compared to the prior generation. Memory is handled by LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. To keep the thermals in check, Xiaomi is using a “three-dimensional convex ring cold pump.”
All of this is powered by a 6000mAh cell paired with 67W fast charging. Even with such a fairly big cell, the device measures just 7.45mm thick and weighs 184g. Additional features include dual stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint reader, Wi-Fi 7 support, NFC, an IR blaster, and LDAC/LHDC 5.0 audio codec compatibility.
Price and Availability
The base 12/256GB variant of the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro costs 2,999 yuan ($416 / ₹35,786). The higher 12/512GB model is listed at 3,299 yuan, while the top-end 16/512GB version is priced at 3,599 yuan.
The phone comes in Nebula Purple, Sakura Pink, Black, and White, plus the limited “Iced American” edition. Xiaomi is also releasing a co-branded Lancôme “Night Color” gift box in limited quantities. This comes bundled with a few cosmetics with the phone.
