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.

Ulefone Armor X31 Pro 5G

Strengths

The phone's design is sturdy and has excellent protection capability with IP68, IP69K, and military-grade certifications.
It can withstand extreme temperatures, falls, and has a waterproof and dustproof design.
The camera setup is impressive, with a 64MP main camera that takes high-quality photos in daylight and supports digital cropping to 2x focal length.
The phone has a 25MP infrared night vision camera that performs well at night and provides a unique tone and dynamic range during the day.
It has a large 6.56-inch LCD screen with a maximum brightness of 800 nits, providing an excellent display effect.
The phone comes with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage space, and supports memory expansion to 16GB, making it suitable for daily usage needs.

Weaknesses

The Mediatech 6300 chip is not as exciting compared to the previous models, with only a slight increase in frequency and no upgrade in architecture or process.
It may not be as fast as other smartphones with more powerful chips like Qualcomm 4 Gen 2.
The phone's weight of around 300g may be considered heavy for some users.
There is no headphone jack, which may be a drawback for some users who prefer wired audio.

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.
