May 26, 2025

Xiaomi has launched the Civi 5 Pro in China, adding a new stylish and powerful phone to its Civi series. At the same event where the flagship Xiaomi 15S Pro and its in-house Xring O1 chip grabbed attention, the Civi 5 Pro still managed to shine with its solid features and affordable price. It comes with the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, a beautiful OLED display, Leica-tuned cameras, and a large 6,000mAh battery. In this article, we will discuss the specifications of Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro, including its specifications and expected price in Nepal.

Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro Specifications

Design and Display

Starting with design, the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro comes with a bezel just 1.6mm thick, giving it a clean and immersive look. Xiaomi chose a metal frame and offers the phone in Black, White, Nebula Purple, Cherry Blossom Pink, and a special “Iced Americano” edition. While the regular models measure 7.45mm thick and weigh 184g, the coffee version is slightly thicker at 7.65mm and lighter at 181g.

On the display side, the handset uses a 6.55-inch OLED screen with curved edges and 1.5K resolution (1236×2750). It reaches up to 3,200 nits brightness, offers a 120Hz refresh rate, and features 2,160Hz PWM dimming. It also supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, and Xiaomi protects it with Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Performance and Battery

Inside, the phone runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, built on a 4nm process. According to Xiaomi, this brings 31% better CPU, 49% better GPU, and 44% better AI performance than the previous generation. It comes with either 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. On the software side, the phone runs HyperOS 2.0, based on Android 15, offering a clean and fast user experience.

Powering all this is a 6,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging, which balances endurance and speed perfectly. Even with this big battery, the phone stays slim and easy to hold.

Camera and Rest

For photos, Xiaomi worked with Leica to create a powerful triple rear camera system. It includes a 50MP main camera (Light Fusion 800 sensor, f/1.63 aperture, OIS), a 50MP telephoto camera (Samsung JN5, f/2.0, 60mm equivalent, 2x zoom, also works as macro from 10cm), and a 12MP ultrawide camera (f/2.2, 15mm equivalent, 120° FOV). The setup looks well-balanced, and it’s nice to see Xiaomi using Leica’s optics in the mid-range.

On the front, there’s a 50MP selfie camera (f/2.0) with autofocus and a special nano-prism lens that Xiaomi claims increases light capture by 25% compared to earlier models, which should really help in low light.

Other features include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, an X-axis vibration motor, an in-display fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, an IR blaster, and support for high-quality audio via LDAC/LHDC 5.0.
