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.

vivo Y300

Strengths

A budget-friendly smartphone that doesn't compromise on features.
Boasts a sleek design, a moly display, and robust performance.
The phone's slim profile and lightweight build make it comfortable to use one-handed.
The 6.67 in AMOLED display is a highlight of the Vivo Y300 with 1 billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and Peak brightness of 1800 nits.
Performance is smooth for everyday tasks, light gaming, and multitasking thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset and octacore CPU.
The phone's fast charging capability gets you up to 80% battery in just 30 minutes.

Weaknesses

Lacks some flagship-level features.
Doesn't have the fastest UFS storage standards, with UFS 2.2 instead of UFS 3.0 or higher.
The absence of a 3.5 mm headphone jack might be a drawback for those who prefer wired headphones.
The phone's IP64 certification means it's only dust and water resistant, not fully waterproof.
The camera's 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second might not be as smooth as some other phones in this price range.
The device runs on Android 14 with FunTouch OS 14, which might not be the latest software available.

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.

vivo Y300
