Xiaomi has officially unveiled its latest flagship offering, the Civi 4 Pro, marking a significant milestone as the first smartphone to feature the powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. Boasting a sleek and lightweight design, the Civi 4 Pro sets a new standard in mobile photography with its triple Leica-branded rear cameras and dual 32 MP selfie shooters.
At the heart of the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro lies a stunning 6.55-inch AMOLED display, boasting an impressive resolution of 2,750 x 1,236 pixels. With support for a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate and a lightning-fast 240 Hz touch sampling rate, users can expect a truly immersive visual experience. Additionally, the display is safeguarded by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, ensuring durability and protection against scratches and damage.
The dual selfie cameras feature 32 MP sensors, with one serving as the primary shooter with a 78-degree field of view and an f/2.0 aperture, while the other is dedicated to ultrawide shots, offering a 100-degree field of view and an f/2.4 aperture.
On the rear, the Civi 4 Pro impresses with its versatile camera setup, including a main 50 MP sensor identical to that found in the Redmi K70 Pro, a 50 MP portrait lens with 2x telephoto zoom capabilities, and a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle snapper with a 120-degree field of view. Complementing the camera array is a single LED flash, completing the square formation within the camera island.
Powering the device is a substantial 4,700 mAh battery with support for rapid 67W charging, boasting the ability to replenish the battery to full capacity in just 40 minutes. Operating out of the box is the intuitive HyperOS user interface, based on the latest Android 14 platform.
Available in four striking colors – Wild Green, Soft Mist Pink, Breeze Blue, and Starry Black – the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro offers memory configurations of 12/256 GB or 12/512 GB. Prices start at CNY2,999 ($415/€380) for the base variant.
For enthusiasts seeking a touch of luxury, Xiaomi also introduces limited edition variants featuring Kona leather in White, Pink, and Blue, each boasting 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Despite the premium materials, these limited-edition models are priced the same as the base version. Pre-orders for the Civi 4 Pro are now open on the Xiaomi China website, with the first sale scheduled for March 26th, allowing eager consumers to experience the pinnacle of smartphone innovation firsthand.

Xiaomi has officially announced the impending arrival of the Civi 4 Pro in April, marking a significant leap in performance and photography capabilities. In a recent series of posts, Xiaomi unveiled key details about the upcoming device, confirming that it will be powered by the formidable Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset.
Additionally, the camera system, now enhanced by Leica, promises to deliver impressive imaging capabilities. Compared to Civi 2, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro will make its debut in four captivating colors, with the Green variant taking the spotlight, featuring a distinct design element where glass and leather panels are artfully separated on the back.
A teaser shared on Weibo hints at the Civi 4 Pro’s focus on performance, photography, and design aesthetics. Notably, the device will sport a flat metal frame, departing from the plastic construction of its predecessors. With a slim profile of just 7.45 mm and weighing under 180 grams, the handset aims to strike a balance between sleek design and ergonomic comfort, sans the protruding camera island.
The adoption of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset marks a significant departure from previous Civi iterations, which featured comparatively lesser SoCs. Notably, previous models gained popularity among selfie enthusiasts for their dual front-facing cameras.
As anticipation builds for the unveiling event on Thursday, enthusiasts eagerly await pricing details, which will not only determine the affordability of the Civi 4 Pro but also set a precedent for future devices powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset.
