Xiaomi launched the Civi 4 Pro on 21st March exclusively in China. Its global version, the Xiaomi 14 Civi has also been recently launched. The Civi line of smartphones is known for its camera prowess. And as expected, the latest model 4 Pro is also no different. But this time, Xiaomi brought more than just camera upgrades to the table. Let’s take a detailed look.  Key Specs of Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Design and Build Quality  The Civi 4 Pro brings a good mix of innovative design with a utilitarian approach. This year, there are seven colorways to choose from, 3 of them being limited edition ones. The large pool of personalization options is backed by premium material. The front features Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection with a glass back or eco-leather finish depending on the color. The aluminum frame also exudes a premium finish.  The dimensions of the 4 Pro come in at 157.2 by 72.77 by 7.45 to 7.75 mm depending on the back material. The weight also ranges between 177.6 g to 180.9 g. Ports and buttons are in their usual spot without any change from the previous generation.  Read more: Top Home Skincare Devices in Bangladesh: Transform Your Beauty Routine The Civi 4 Pro, just like its predecessor has a dual camera on the front. The front dual camera is arranged in such a way that it will easily remind anyone of the dynamic island found on the iPhones. Other than this, the design of the 4 Pro is something that stands out among the rest.  The Display  The display on the Civi 4 Pro is a 6.55-inch AMOLED one with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 68B colors, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ support. The panel also boasts 3000 nits of peak brightness which is more than enough for even the harshest sunlight.  The 4 Pro sees an upgrade in resolution from the Civi 3 as it now comes with 1236 by 2750 pixels resolution and 460 ppi density. The near edge-to-edge display has a 90.4% screen-to-body ratio which is one of the highest among Androids.  Read more: Havit M9030 Pro Review: A Competent Mid-range Smartwatch In terms of performance, the display on the Civi 4 Pro performed well. It supports a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut for vibrant colors and great contrast. The viewing angles were also sharp which makes this panel one of the best in its price class.  The Camera  Now onto the all-important camera for which the Civi line is so famous. There’s a total of five cameras on the Civi 4 Pro with three on the back and two on the front. The main back camera is a 50 MP, f/1.6, 25mm wide-angle shooter with a 1/1.55’’ sensor size. It’s a Leica Summilux lens which is known for its distinct color tone and consistency. The other two sensors are a 50 MP, f/2.0, 50mm Leica Professional telephoto lens and a 12 MP, f/2.2, 15mm, 120˚  ultrawide lens.  The front features a dual 32 MP sensor. One is a f/2.0 standard lens and the other is a f/2.4 wide angle one.  Read more: realme GT 6 5G Review: Is It a Flagship Killer? In terms of camera performance, the Civi 4 Pro fixed the greatest gripe with the Civi 3, that is the color reproduction at different zoom levels. The 4 Pro showed consistent color reproduction at ultrawide, standard 1x, 2x, and lossless 4x images. The dynamic range also held pretty well in daylight conditions. The night mode also greatly improved the exposure consistency in images. However, the lens flare still remains an issue.  The front camera can take decent images in both daylight and night environments. The ultrawide lens is a game changer in the sense that most smartphones don’t have a dedicated ultrawide shooter like the Civi 4 Pro.  The videography is rated at 4K@24/30/60fps, 1080p@30/60/120/240/960fps, 720p@1920fps. The videos natively support HDR10+ and 10-bit codecs for smooth playback.  Read more: CCTV Camera Buying Guide and Price Ranges in Bangladesh in 2024 Processor and Performance  The processor on the Civi 4 Pro is the new Qualcomm SM8635 Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 based on a 4 Nm architecture. In use, the 8s Gen 3 performs much like last year's 8 Gen 2 with minor upgrades. The chip design comes in at 1x3.0 GHz Cortex-X4 & 4x2.8 GHz Cortex-A720 & 3x2.0 GHz Cortex-A520 with Adreno 735 GPU.  In terms of gaming performance, there’s a bit of a cost-and-benefit situation. Most games tested on the 4 Pro ran on the highest settings without any stutter. However, the cost of performance was that the device would heat up a lot in prolonged gaming sessions.  Games like Genshin Impact were able to maintain a constant 41.9 fps with a max temperature of around 44 degrees Celsius. PUBG on the other hand recorded a constant 59.7 fps at around 40 degrees Celsius.  Read more: Xiaomi Redmi 13 Review: Does It Carry the Predecessor’s Legacy? The UFS 4.0 upgraded storage is a welcome addition to the 4 Pro.

Software  The software on the Civi 4 Pro is HyperOS based on Android 14. HyperOS is practically a revamped visualization of MIUI with the same old DNA and the same old issues. There are noticeable number of bloatware and the whole UI might feel clunky at times. Google Services are now supported natively though you might have to download it manually. Even then certain Play Store apps didn’t properly run on the OS.  Read more: Motorola Edge 50 Fusion Review: Worth the Hype? Battery and Charge Time The battery on the Civi 4 Pro is 4700 mAh.

Xiaomi just unveiled the Xiaomi Civi, a smartphone, unlike anything they've ever launched. Although this phone is marketed for women, a man can be quite intrigued by it. The phone was released on 21st September. This article will share a thorough observation of the Xiaomi Civi. Key Features of Xiaomi Civi Design At first glance at the Xiaomi Civi box, it's unexpected that the phone does not have a charger, but happily, Xiaomi is still offering consumers two options: environmental support or self-viewing. Additionally, this box fits Xiaomi Civi's idea of a thin and light body, which gives the impression of being thin and light from the outside to the inside.

From the first day of PR warm-up, the keywords should be beauty, selfie, and good-looking, implying that in addition to the phone itself is attractive, the goal is to provide customers with a pleasant experience, namely, selfie. The material used for the phone's rear cover is also critical to the phone's appearance. The phone received the model called "flash black" using the velvet AG process, which is uniquely the first time Xiaomi has adopted new technology. Compared to the conventional AG process, the velvet AG process maintains the AG process's skin-friendly smooth feel, resulting in a crystal-shiny visual sense that not only looks good but also feels like skin gel.

The refresh rate of the Civi has been increased to 120Hz, and the max brightness has been increased somewhat as well. However, after a week of usage, the difference in screen size between the two is extremely noticeable. For instance, when a device transitions from a straight to a curved screen, the bezels get reduced. The bottom bezel, in particular, is thinner than that of Xiaomi's own flagship phone, the Mi 11 Ultra. Additionally, it utilizes an under-screen fingerprint scanner rather than a side fingerprint scanner. The Xiaomi 11 Lite NE's screen is made up of RGB Delta Pixels, which resulted in a very low level of screen clarity, which was corrected on the Civi. After switching the screen provider to Diamond-like pixels, the clarity is the same as that of Samsung's screen. Read Redmi Note 11 Review: Does it deserve your attention? The issue with rainbow lines on the screen, on the other hand, is a little more problematic than with earlier phones. In general, the Xiaomi Civi's screen is superior to that of the XIAOMI 11 Lite 5G NE. Rear Cameras The three-camera lens combination at the rear consists of a 64MP main lens with a 1/1.97′′ sensor and a 6P lens with a 24mm focal length equivalent; a super wide-angle lens of 8MP with a FOV of 120° and a 5P lens with a focal length of 16mm equivalent; and finally, a 2MP macro lens with a 4cm focus distance. When the subject's clarity and the degree of automatic background defocusing are combined perfectly, there will be no edge on the blurred processing, for the primary photography of thin and high-value phones is to examine the lens configuration parameters, but after the shutter is pressed, the real app begins.

It takes ten minutes to charge to 27%, half an hour to reach 77%, and 45 minutes to reach 100%.
