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 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?

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.

When it comes to Samsung, there is a remarkable and relentless process through which they put forth their devices, whether it’s a flagship or a budget-friendly device. The same is true for the Galaxy ‘A’ series. A15 is the latest addition to this series. In the Galaxy A15 model, Samsung brings improvements in several aspects over last year's A14. Let’s take a detailed look.  Key Specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A15 4G   Design and Build Quality  One of the key selling points of Samsung smartphones is the design symmetry in each of their lines. Whether you’re going for the A series, M series, or the flagship S series, the main design elements remain more or less the same. The only difference is in the materials.  The Galaxy A15 is also no different here as it looks much like the more expensive A35 and even the flagship S24. Except on the A15, the entire body is made from plastic.  The dimension of the A15 comes in at 160.1 mm by 76.8 mm by 8.4 mm with 200 g of effective weight. In terms of physical footprint, the A15 is much more compact than the A14 which is a great thing for compact phone enthusiasts. Read more: Best TWS Earbuds Under Tk 1500: A Detailed Buyer’s Guide The plastic back has a frosted finish to give it a glass-like look and the frame comes with a matte coat. Ports and buttons are in their usual spot including the coveted 3.5 mm headphone jack. The power button this time also doubles as the fingerprint scanner.  The only drawback with the A15 being a budget-friendly device would be the waterdrop notch, large chin, and the lack of a water protection rating.  The Display  The display on the Galaxy A15 is a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate and 800 nits of peak brightness. The resolution comes in at 1080 by 2340 pixels with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. It makes for around 396 ppi density on the panel.  The large chin at the bottom might be out of standard for 2024, but the 84.3% screen-to-body ratio is what users will be getting for an affordable price. Aside from the specs, it's hardly contentious that the A15 has one of the best budget smartphone displays today.  Read more: Symphony Helio 50 Review: A budget smartphone within BDT 15000 The Super AMOLED tech from Samsung combined with the 90 Hz refresh rate brings a crisp and smooth user experience to the table. Needless to say, content consumption and browsing on this panel would bring a mid-range feel for its price.  The Camera  There is a triple camera setup on the Galaxy A15 vertically aligned on the back. Unlike most budget-friendly smartphones Samsung has included two useful sensors out of the three. The main sensor is a 50 MP f/1.8 shooter with AF. The secondary ones are a 5 MP f/2.2 ultrawide and a 2 MP f/2.4 macro shooter.  The front shooter is a 13 MP f/2.0 sensor. In terms of camera performance, the main shooter produced similar results to the A14. Pictures taken in bright light had great details and a characteristic warm tone to them. The dynamic range was pretty good as it showed a good balance overall. However, pictures taken in low light showed lens flare and occasional grains. Thankfully, the night mode did a pretty good job of dissipating them.  Read more: vivo iQoo Z9 Turbo Review: New Contender in Mid-Budget Range Portrait mode on the main sensor worked well with good edge detection and subject focus. The ultrawide sensor produced some decent images in well-lit environments without any fish-eye effect. The front shooter can take decent social media-ready selfies with Samsung post-processed beautification and softening in place.  The videography on the A15 is limited to 1080P at 30 fps. The low capacity is a bit surprising considering the A15 comes with an updated processor.  Processor and Performance  The Galaxy A15 is powered by Mediatek Helio G99 based on the 6 Nm architecture. The octa-core processor has a chip design of 2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 with Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.  The G99 is a processor that has been seen on devices going up to 30K in the Bangladeshi market. So seeing the same processor on a sub-20K smartphone is a steal of a deal in itself.  Read more: Top Smart TV Picks for 2024: Ultimate Buyer’s Guide in Bangladesh In terms of performance, the G99 doesn’t slack.

The device did heat up after some time but it wasn’t anything unmanageable for the processor.  Benchmark Scores  Benchmark Score Geekbench 6 Multi-score 1890 GFX Aztec Open High  8.9 fps  GFX Manhattan 3.1 23 fps PCMark Battery  15:15 .
