Back in October, a report claimed that Xiaomi had no plans to launch the Xiaomi Civi 6, casting doubt over the future of the series. Since then, information has been scarce. But now, new leaks coming out of China suggest the device is very much alive.

Two well-known Chinese tipsters — Smart Pikachu and Digital Chat Station — shared fresh posts on Weibo that points to the Xiaomi Civi 6. Digital Chat Station hinted at an upcoming phone equipped with a dedicated AI key. 

While the post didn’t explicitly mention the Civi branding, online discussions quickly connected the dots. Around the same time, Smart Pikachu resurfaced an older message he had written months ago and clarified that it was about the Civi 6.

Xiaomi Civi 6 Expected Specifications

Meanwhile, another leak making rounds on Weibo shares the possible specs of Xiaomi Civi 6. 

The phone is said to feature a 200-megapixel main camera, paired with a 3x telephoto lens. On the front, there’s reportedly a 50-megapixel autofocus selfie camera. 

The display is rumored to be a 6.59-inch LIPO four-sided curved panel, which suggests slim bezels and a more premium feel. Powering the device could be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Other leaked details include an X-axis linear motor, dual speakers, a metal frame, and a glass back.

Perhaps the most interesting addition is the AI button with remapping functionality. This should allow users to point the button to AI features of their liking. 

Still, there’s a degree of uncertainty. Weibo tipsters often avoid naming specific devices in their posts, which leaves room for interpretation. While the margin of error appears small, nothing is official yet.

Another open question is availability. Previous Civi models, including the Xiaomi Civi 3, were limited to the Chinese market. There’s a possibility that the Civi 6 could also remain China-exclusive. Alternatively, Xiaomi may choose to rebrand it for global markets, potentially as the Xiaomi 17 Civi.

The post Xiaomi Civi 6 isn’t canceled after all, here are the specs appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi unveiled the Mix Flip 2, a flip-style foldable phone, and the Civi 5 Pro earlier this year in China. Early reports suggested that both devices, with the latter getting rebranded as the Xiaomi 15 Civi, might hit the global market. While the brand has recently launched the Xiaomi 15T series flagship phone for the global market, there has been no official update about the Mix Flip 2 and 15 Civi’s global arrival, suggesting that these devices might have been cancelled for wider release. Now, a new leak suggests that the Xiaomi Mix Flip 3 and Civi 6, expected to launch next year, may have already been cancelled.

Xiaomi Mix 3, Civi 6 may not launch in 2026

A well-known Chinese tipster has hinted that one of the smartphone brands’ small foldable phones and a mid-range model may not see a new generation in 2026. According to the post, the sales performance of the current versions has not been satisfactory, leading Xiaomi to pause its development for one generation.

This tipster is mainly known for sharing updates about upcoming Honor phones. However, the discussion in the comments section of the Weibo post suggests that he could be referring to Xiaomi.

While the tipster didn’t mention specific model names, it is being speculated that the devices in question could be the Xiaomi Mix Flip 3 and the Xiaomi Civi 6, both of which were originally expected to debut in 2026. The Mix Flip 2, Xiaomi’s first vertical foldable, reportedly did not achieve strong sales despite its premium design and competitive pricing, while the Civi 5 also struggled to gain significant market share in the mid-range segment.

This development is surprising as the alleged Xiaomi Mix Flip 3, with model numbers 2603APX0AC / 2603EPX2DC, was spotted in the IMEI database in July this year. Readers are advised to wait for further information regarding the fate of the Mix Flip 3 and Civi 6.

To recall, Xiaomi unveiled the book-style foldable, the Mix Fold 4 last year in China but skipped the Mix Fold 5 this year. A recent IMEI database sighting revealed that Xiaomi may launch a book-style foldable in 2026, possibly under the Xiaomi 17 Fold name instead of Mix Fold 6.
