The future of Xiaomi’s Civi lineup looks bleak, according to a fresh comment from tipster Digital Chat Station. Responding to a user’s query, the tipster confirmed that the Civi line has been shut down and there is “no sign of it being revived in the next generation.”
The comment puts an end to months of back-and-forth speculation around the fate of the series. Just a few months ago, we had reported that the Xiaomi Civi 6 was said to be alive after all, with specs consisting of a 200MP camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and even a dedicated AI button. That report followed an earlier claim that the Civi 6 had been cancelled due to weak sales of its predecessor.
Xiaomi Civi is done for after all!
Based on the latest statement from Digital Chat Station, it now looks like Xiaomi has decided to permanently retire the Civi branding rather than pause it for just one generation. Instead, the company is likely leaning on its T-series. The company announced the Xiaomi 17T series in China for the first time last month.
The Civi series began back in 2021 as a lifestyle-focused lineup with an emphasis on camera performance and design. Over the years, it saw several iterations, including the Civi, Civi 1S, Civi 2, Civi 3, Civi 4 Pro, and the Civi 5 Pro, which was later rebranded as the Xiaomi 15 Civi for some markets. However, inconsistent sales performance across regions appears to have made the lineup less viable for Xiaomi going forward.
As of now, Xiaomi has not issued any official statement confirming or denying the discontinuation. It’s advised to treat this update as another data point in an already confusing story, and we will update this piece if more official information becomes available.
