Vicky — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 12:18:03 +0000

Xiaomi has begun rolling out the HyperOS 3 update to a new set of devices. This HyperOS 3 build is different. It’s based on Android 15, which recently began rolling out to the Redmi K60 and Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro series and is now expanding to more devices, including the Xiaomi 12 series, Xiaomi 12S series, and others.

The HyperOS 3 build, based on Android 15, is currently only available in China. Here are the latest Xiaomi devices that are getting this update, along with the firmware versions (as shared by Xiaomi Time):

Xiaomi 12: OS3.0.2.0.VLCCNXM
Xiaomi 12 Pro: OS3.0.2.0.VLBCNXM
Xiaomi 12S: OS3.0.2.0.VLTCNXM
Xiaomi 12S Pro: OS3.0.2.0.VLECNXM
Xiaomi 12S Ultra: OS3.0.2.0.VLACNXM
Xiaomi Civi 3: OS3.0.1.0.VMICNXM
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2: OS3.0.1.0.VLRCNXM

The HyperOS 3 update is currently available as a Mi Plot release to these devices, which essentially means a beta release. To receive this update, you must sign up to become a beta tester (click here for all the steps). The update will soon roll out to non-beta users once Xiaomi ensures that the build has no critical bugs.

Xiaomi has not confirmed a global release for the Android 15-based HyperOS 3 upgrade. However, the presence of global models such as Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi Civi 3 on the above list gives a positive indication. The brand typically rolls out the update in China first, then expands it to the rest of the world within a few weeks.

5 ways the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro is different from the last two generations

Rajesh — Fri, 23 May 2025 06:15:23 +0000

It was a big day for Xiaomi last night, and in more than one way. The company announced its first electric SUV, its first phone and tablet powered by in-house XRING O1 chipset and a smartwatch with a Xiaomi modem.

Tucked in among all the headlines was a more niche, design-focused product of the Xiaomi Civi line. The Civi 5 Pro is only the second Pro model in this series after last year’s Civi 4 Pro. And on the surface, it doesn’t bring any radical changes in terms of specifications or features.

The upgrades are all incremental here. However, if you scale them in comparison to the non-Pro Civi 3, the Civi 5 Pro brings enough forward movement to justify its “Pro” tag. So we thought to look back to see how much of an improvement Xiaomi has made over the last two generations of Civi phones.

A More Capable and Efficient Processor

Perhaps the most defining generational leap is under the hood. The Civi 5 Pro features the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, which brings a notable 31% CPU, 49% GPU, and 44% AI performance improvement over the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the Civi 4 Pro.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is a 4nm chip anchored by a single Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at 3.21 GHz and supported by a blend of high and mid-performance Cortex-A720 cores. In contrast, the Gen 3 used a less aggressive clock configuration.

Compare that to the Dimensity 8200 Ultra in the Civi 3, and it’s an entirely different class of silicon. The Civi 3 was respectable in day-to-day use but clearly designed for casual users, not power-hungry ones. Even the 8s Gen 3 in the Civi 4 Pro, while solid, is now overshadowed by the better thermals and improved efficiency of Gen 4.

Camera Refinement with Leica Optics

Xiaomi introduced Leica branding to the Civi series with the 4 Pro, but the Civi 5 Pro refines this further with subtle yet important upgrades to both the rear and front camera setups.

Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro camera

The rear system remains a triple camera configuration with the same 50MP wide and 12MP ultrawide sensors, but the telephoto lens has been tweaked: it’s now a 50MP sensor at a 60mm focal length with 2.5x optical zoom, compared to the 50mm lens with 2x zoom in the 4 Pro. This change offers more flexibility for portrait and macro-style shots, with an updated autofocus system that operates from as close as 10cm.

On the front, Xiaomi departs from the dual 32MP camera design of the previous two models. Instead, the Civi 5 Pro goes with a single but more powerful 50MP selfie shooter. This sensor supports 4K video at both 30 and 60 fps, a first for the Civi lineup.

Battery upgrade

One of the quiet but most practical upgrades comes in the battery department. The Civi 5 Pro now sports a 6000mAh silicon-carbon lithium (Si/C Li-Ion) battery, a sizeable leap from the 4700mAh cell in the Civi 4 Pro and even more so from the 4500mAh pack in the Civi 3.

Despite the larger capacity, Xiaomi keeps the 67W fast charging standard across all three models. But with greater energy density and smarter power management, the Civi 5 Pro should offer better endurance.

Software and Connectivity Improvements

Another way the Civi 5 Pro distances itself is with software and connectivity improvements. It runs Android 15 with HyperOS 2, whereas the Civi 4 Pro shipped with Android 14 and the Civi 3 was limited to Android 13 under MIUI 14. That’s more than just version inflation; HyperOS 2 introduces system-level optimizations and better integration with Xiaomi’s broader ecosystem, from tablets to smart home devices.

In terms of connectivity, the Civi 5 Pro adopts Wi-Fi 7 support, while the Civi 4 Pro tops out at Wi-Fi 6. That change futureproofs the device for faster and more stable wireless connections. Bluetooth also gets a bump to version 5.4 with support for LHDC 5, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive.

Design Tweaks and Build Consistency

At first glance, the Civi 5 Pro looks almost indistinguishable from the Civi 4 Pro. It keeps the same slim 6.55-inch AMOLED display with 68 billion colors, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR support. The display resolution also remains unchanged at 1236 x 2750 pixels. But look closer, and you’ll see minor yet meaningful changes.

Peak brightness jumps from 3000 to 3200 nits, and Xiaomi has added HDR Vivid support to the Dolby Vision and HDR10+ stack. These tweaks improve visibility in direct sunlight and offer more compatibility with streaming content.

Physically, the phone is now slightly wider (73.2mm vs 72.8mm) and heavier (up to 184g vs 180.9g), likely due to the larger battery. Despite this, the thickness stays virtually the same, and Xiaomi continues offering high-quality material options like glass and eco-leather backs.

The Civi 5 Pro also offers a broader color palette—Gray, Rose Gold, Violet, White, and Brown—compared to the more limited Black, Pink, Blue, and Green options of the 4 Pro.

Final Thoughts

Xiaomi made a major refresh for the Civi line with Civi 4 Pro. The upgrades are more incremental this generation, and it’s perfectly fine. The Civi 4 Pro established the Pro branding and brought in Leica lenses, the 5 Pro stabilizes and expands on that momentum.

Compared to Civi 3, the 5 Pro feels way more refined; a more premium product across the board. And compared to the 4 Pro, it’s a sensible upgrade for anyone who values battery life, slightly better optics, and updated software.

For users who skipped the Civi 4 Pro or are still holding onto older models, the Civi 5 Pro might just be the upgrade worth making.

Xiaomi teases yet another Disney 100th anniversary smartphone

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 09:24:01 +0000

Earlier this year, Xiaomi released a special edition of its Civi 3 smartphone in collaboration with Disney. The product celebrates 100 years of Disney.

A few months after that, the company is now teasing yet another device as part of the partnership. Once again, the brand will be using Civi 3.

However, the Disney character used for theming will be different. Let’s go through the details.

Xiaomi’s second Disney 100th anniversary smartphone is themed after Lotso

Xiaomi says that it will unveil its second Disney 100th anniversary smartphone on January 22. It will be announced in China at 7 PM local time (GMT+8).

As per the teaser shared by the company, the special edition phone will be again based on Civi 3. But it will be themed after the Disney Pixar character ‘Strawberry Bear’ instead of ‘Mickey Mouse’ like the first model.

For the unaware, ‘Strawberry Bear’ is the common name used in China for the Toy Story 3 character ‘Lotso.’ This character’s full name is Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear.

Thus, the handset will be likely in ‘strawberry pink’ color. It might also have the said character engraved on its rear glass panel. The retail box may also include stickers as well as a customized case and SIM ejector pin.

In terms of specs, there will be no changes. It will be identical to the regular version and may come in a sole 12GB + 512GB memory configuration.

The Civi 3 sports a 6.55-inch FHD+ 120Hz curved OLED display with a pill-shaped cutout and Dolby Vision support. It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultra chip paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

It arrives with a 50MP (wide, OIS) + 8MP (ultrawide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera system on the rear and a 32MP (wide) + 32MP (ultrawide) dual camera setup on the front. Other features include an in-screen fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, a 4,500mAh battery, and 67W wired charging support.

AnTuTu has just revealed its top-performing flagship smartphones of August 2023 with the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro topping the list. We now bring you the top 10 best-performing mid-range smartphones of August according to AnTuTu.

AnTuTu Top 10 mid-range smartphones August 2023

Despite it being August, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, which was introduced in March, continues to lead the mid-range AnTuTu performance rankings. It has achieved an impressive score of 1,148,376 points, just slightly ahead of the Realme GT Neo 5 SE, which sits in second place with 1,146,607 points. Notably, both of these smartphones are equipped with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC, making them the sole devices on the list featuring this processor.

Redmi Note 12 Turbo

Realme GT Neo 5 SE

Considering that these devices cross the 1 million point mark with starting prices around $250 (Note 12 Turbo) and $290 (GT Neo 5 SE), it makes customers hopeful about the future of the mid-range. Outside of China, Xiaomi sells the Redmi 12 Turbo as the Poco F5.

The third place goes to the iQOO Neo 7 SE equipped with the Dimensity 8200 chipset. It scores 949742 points, edging out the Vivo S17 Pro which is in fourth place with 944329 points. Other places in the list belong to devices like the Oppo Reno 10 Pro, Redmi Note 12T Pro, Redmi K60E, Xiaomi Civi 3, OnePlus Ace Racing, and OnePlus Ace. All of these devices are powered by the Dimensity 8200 and 8100 series chipsets.

At the moment, it appears that smartphones featuring the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset hold a significant advantage over their mid-range counterparts utilizing MediaTek’s Dimensity processors. Nevertheless, there are speculations suggesting that MediaTek is in the process of developing the Dimensity 8300 chipset, which is said to incorporate a fresh Mali G52 MC6 GPU. It remains to be seen how the performance of this new chip will compare to the reigning mid-range leader, and we eagerly await the results.
