Xiaomi CIVI with Snapdragon 778G 5G, frosted back design goes official

After all the teasers, Xiaomi has finally unveiled its latest smartphone, called "CIVI". Actually, it's a new smartphone series of the same name so we expect other phones to join the lineup shortly as well. Here, we will be discussing in detail the specs, features, expected price, and availability of Xiaomi CIVI in Nepal.

Xiaomi CIVI Overview:

The Xiaomi CIVI is a follow-up to the Mi CC series that came out in 2019. That being said, the company has done more than a simple name change. While the CIVI has modest camera specs like the Mi CC9, it places a higher priority on the design as well.

Design and Display

Xiaomi CIVI sports a 6.55-inch curved OLED display. It's a 10-bit panel with DCI-P3 colors, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The phone supports a couple of HDR formats including HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, and it can reach the peak brightness of up to 950 nits. The phone has a left-aligned rectangular camera bump that distinguishes it from the Mi 11 lineup. Its frosted AG glass back is available in three color options - Blue, Pink, and Black.

Performance and Memory

Under the hood, the CIVI packs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 778 5G chipset. This 6nm chipset features four Cortex-A78 performance and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. It is paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
