Last month itself, the phone was available with a CNY 100(~$18) coupon and now, the device has received an official price cut.

The China-exclusive Xiaomi CIVI which is said to be the most beautiful smartphone offering from the brand stands out from the rest of the lineup due to its clean camera module, gorgeous back panel design, and eye-catching colors. And now, rumors suggest that the CIVI will be getting another color variant.

According to a report by mydrivers, Xiaomi is working on a white variant of the CIVI. The device is already offered in three color variants namely light blue, black and pink. Going with Xiaomi’s design scheme when it comes to the CIVI, we can expect the back to have a velvety, textured glass panel. Additionally, it might also feature a gradient finish that shines under the light.

The Xiaomi CIVI is a smartphone aimed at the young female demographic in Mainland China, however, the new white model might attract more male customers than the previous color variants.

To recall, the Xiaomi CIVI has a 6.55-inch OLED panel with curved edges. It produces a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The handset houses a 4,500mAh battery, which carries support for 55W fast charging. It weighs 166 grams and measures only 6.9mm in thickness.

The Snapdragon 778G fuels the Xiaomi CIVI with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage. It has a 32-megapixel front camera, and a 64-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit. The front camera supports features like autofocus, pixel-level skin restoration feature, and slow-motion video shooting.

The Xiaomi CIVI was released in the Chinese market back in September 2021 at a starting price of 2,599 Yuan (~$402). But unfortunately, this beautiful device is not available outside of China.

Xiaomi has scheduled an event for September 27 to launch the Xiaomi CIVI smartphone. The company has been officially teasing the features of this phone for the past few days. The latest teasers reveal the chipset and the battery capacity.

According to the official Xiaomi Weibo account, the upcoming Xiaomi CIVI will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G. The same chip is present inside the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G and a number of other mid-range smartphones from other brands.

Although we know that the Snapdragon 778G is inferior to the Snapdragon 780G found in the Mi 11 Lite 5G (aka Mi 11 Youth Edition), Xiaomi claims that the Xiaomi CIVI will offer a smooth experience for 36 months.

Further, the firm also confirms the presence of a 4,500mAh battery. For those unaware, this handset measures only 6.98mm in thickness and weighs about 166g. The Mi 11 Lite series with almost similar measurements houses a slightly smaller 4,250mAh battery.

According to previous teasers, the Xiaomi CIVI will have a design similar to vivo and OPPO smartphones. It will feature a triangular camera array, an AG glass back, a curved display with a centered punch-hole, and a metal frame. The device is also said to offer ‘pixel-level’ beauty mode in the camera app.

Last but not least, a tipster even revealed most of the remaining specs. However, we would advise you to consider them with a pinch of salt.

Xiaomi CIVI to offer Pixel level skin rejuvenation beauty mode: Lei Jun

Xiaomi is gearing up for the launch of its upcoming CIVI smartphone. The device is set to be unveiled on 27th September 2021, but prior to its launch, the company’s Founder and CEO revealed an interesting feature regarding the smartphone.

In a Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website) post, Lei Jun stated the new CIVI will offer pixel level skin rejuvenation through its camera’s beauty mode. As per the senior executive, the new beauty mode will bring out the true potential of the users’ skin. Lei Jun stated in the social media post that “I do not believe in perfection, but I think everyone has their own beauty,” (direct translatation).

Furthermore, the official also reshared another Weibo post that showcased the camera’s beauty mode in action. In this, we can observe the CIVI’s selfie camera taking images of a user who’s acne was covered up almost seamlessly through the new beauty mode. The Founder and CEO also used the social media platform to explain the workings of this new beauty mode. He stated that advancement in technology enabled the company to offer skin rejuvenation at the pixel level.

Xiaomi managed to achieve this by using an advanced Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) that helps “rebuild” the skin. While this does seem promising, we will have to wait for real tests to know about its actual effectiveness. We will also be covering the September 27 launch event as well, so stay tuned for more updates.

Leaked Xiaomi CIVI retail box reveals an “environmentally friendly”, iPhone 13-like box

Earlier today, Xiaomi announced that it will hold a new product launch conference on September 27 where it will officially launch a new flagship mobile phone series known as Xiaomi CIVI. Details of the product are sketchy at the moment but the retail box of the device has now appeared online in China.

The colorful retail box bears semblance with that of the iPhone 13 series which is designed to be environmentally friendly, by reducing the amount of plastic on board. The retail box is flat, having enough room to hold only the phone. Thus, the device is likely coming without a charging adapter. But unlike Apple, Xiaomi will likely release a version with a free charger that users who want the charger can select. The charging box is also similar to that of the Mi CC series in terms of pattern and color scheme.

According to reports, Xiaomi Civi will feature a low-power photo/electrochromic back cover design which is a first for the Chinese tech giant. The phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 778G processor and a 120Hz refresh rate display.

The smartphone is expected to pack a 20-megapixel front camera for selfies while the rear camera setup will include a 64-megapixel main camera. Other sensors in the mix include an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 5-megapixel macro camera. The phone will also have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner among other features.
