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.

The FCC certification of the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE revealed that it will arrive in three configurations: 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM = 128 GB storage, and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. It offers connectivity features like 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and NFC. The device will most likely come preloaded with the MIUI 13-flavored Android 13 operating system. The IMDA and EEC listings did not reveal any major information on the specs of the device.

Xiaomi CIVI 2 specifications

The Xiaomi CIVI 2 has a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with curved edges. It offers an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. On the front, it features a 32-megapixel + 32-megapixel dual front-facing camera setup. On the back, it has a 50-megapixel main camera, a 20-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

The CIVI 2 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset. It comes with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage. The device features a 4,500mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging.

Around five months ago, Xiaomiui spotted the 2209129SC and 2210129SG model numbers in the IMEI database. The former will be launching today (Sept. 27) in China as the Xiaomi CIVI 2 smartphone. There is a possibility that the 2210129SG, which is heading towards the global market, may bear some similarities to the CIVI 2.

As it is known, the CIVI 2 will be a female-focused phone for the Chinese market. The Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE, on the other hand, may end up as a tweaked version of the CIVI 2 for the global market.

Xiaomi CIVI 2 specifications (expectd)

The Xiaomi CIVI 2 will feature a 6.56-inch AMOLED display with curved edges and a centrally positioned punch-hole. It will support an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is just our assumption that the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE may end up with a flat AMOLED display.

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 will power the Xiaomi CIVI 2 with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. It will arrive with a 4,500mAh battery and 67W fast charging.

It will feature a 32-megapixel (main) + 32-megapixel (ultra-wide) dual front-facing cameras. Its back panel will house a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 triple camera unit.

Last year September, we saw the launch of the CIVI series in China, Xiaomi’s latest sub-brand that caters to the youth and female market with its sophisticatedly designed premium smartphones that are attractive to the eyes and comfortable to hold in your palms.

And after the sales successes of both the CIVI 1 and CIVI 1S in the country, it is no doubt that Xiaomi is also planning to release the next-generation CIVI 2 this year to capture more market share as well. And today, great news has surfaced online reporting that Xiaomi may launch the Xiaomi CIVI 2 by the end of September this month with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC.

This report comes from the technology news site xiaomiui.net, as the outlet discovered that the Xiaomi CIVI 2 is codenamed as “Ziyi” in the MIUI internal software development environment, and the device is ready to receive an Android 12 based MIUI 13 build update this month. 

This latest internal MIUI build is V13.0.1.0.SLLCNXM for the Xiaomi CIVI 2 as shown in the graphic above. The news of this latest discovery seems to indicate that Xiaomi is planning to launch the Xiaomi CIVI 2 by the end of September this month considering that the MIUI 13 build for the Xiaomi CIVI 2 is ready for a stable release once it is officially launched in the market.

As for other details of the Xiaomi CIVI 2, the outlet reports that the Xiaomi CIVI 2 will arrive with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, replacing the previous generation CIVI 1S’ Snapdragon 778G+ processor. The device could also sport a 6.55-inch Full HD AMOLED display with a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, a solid triple camera setup, and Xiaomi’s 67W fast wired charging technology.

Another highlighting feature of the upcoming Xiaomi CIVI 2 could also be the upcoming MIUI VLOG Modes. Recently, xiaomiui.net also discovered that Xiaomi had added VLOG Modes in MIUI, but the feature is not yet released to the public. The new modes allow for better color reproduction and more customization filters for videos shot on Xiaomi phones with enhancements done on the software side.

As for the global release of the Xiaomi CIVI 2, reports indicate that the device will not be released outside of China and the device could instead be rebranded as the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE or Xiaomi 13 Lite in global markets launching at a later date. However, the outlet has also gathered intel that the Xiaomi CIVI 2 alongside its alternative rebranded monikers will be not released in the Indian market at all.
