Pros and Cons

Xiaomi Civi 1S

Strengths

The Native Beauty Portrait 2.0 feature produces natural-looking photos with more details and less softening.
The CyberFocus human eye-tracking system (although it loses tracking easily when turning your head) is an impressive upgrade.
The 4D Light Chasing Beauty Technology makes subjects look like they have makeup, even if they don't wear any.
The camera produces high-quality photos, making the original Civi's photos feel too white and soft by comparison.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Plus processor provides a significant hardware update over the original Civi.
The phone offers a more natural beauty effect in selfie photos, with more details visible on the skin.
The ability to take separate beauty photos of girls and boys is a useful feature (although it's not particularly impressive).

Weaknesses

The phone lacks a power adapter, relying on a 3.5mm headphone jack to type-c port adapter instead.
The CyberFocus eye-tracking system can lose tracking easily when turning your head.
The phone's camera is the same as the original Civi's, making it unclear if the upgrades are due to software or hardware changes.
The phone's ability to differentiate between boys and girls for beauty photos is not particularly impressive.

You can make 4K 30fps videos with this phone, which is impressive at its price point
The OIS works very well and there's no lag in video recording

Weaknesses

It may not be the best choice for gamers due to its performance issues compared to other phones in the same price range
There's a durability concern with the Realme 9 SE, but it's also available with a similar spec and price point
The CPU is slightly weak, which may impact performance
The display isn't as great as some other phones, like OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite
You have to buy this phone online only from Flipkart or Samsung's website
There's no charger included in the box, so you'll need to arrange one yourself

Xiaomi Civi 1S

The Xiaomi Civi 1S is an incremental upgrade to the original model, with the "S" denoting a subscription to new features rather than a significant hardware overhaul. The phone retains its predecessor's design and camera capabilities, with one notable exception - the addition of a 3.5mm headphone jack to type-c port adapter. The Civi 1S boasts improved selfie capabilities, thanks to its Native Beauty Portrait 2.0 feature. This uses Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) technology to create more natural and detailed photos. I found the results to be impressive, with better skin texture and fewer softening artifacts compared to the original model. Another touted upgrade is the CyberFocus human eye-tracking system, which seemed to falter when tested in various scenarios. However, the 4D Light Chasing Beauty Technology for makeup was a highlight, delivering natural and detailed results without the need for actual makeup. The phone's camera hardware remains unchanged from its predecessor, but the Civi 1S is powered by a more recent Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Plus processor. This resulted in improved performance, as demonstrated by the Antutu benchmark test. While not a revolutionary update, the Xiaomi Civi 1S does offer some tangible improvements to its camera capabilities. Whether these upgrades are sufficient to justify an upgrade from the original model remains to be seen. Overall, the Civi 1S is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and feature-rich smartphone with enhanced camera capabilities.

Samsung Galaxy F34 5G

The Samsung Galaxy F34 5G is an intriguing smartphone that checks many boxes for casual users. Its AMOLED display shines bright, while its massive 6000mAh battery promises extended usage times. The camera setup delivers quality images and videos, with 4K recording capabilities. However, the phone's performance may falter when pushed to its limits, such as during gaming. This review will delve into the pros and cons of this device, helping potential buyers decide whether it suits their needs or not.
