Xiaomi Civi

The Xiaomi Civi is a commendable device that offers excellent value for its price. This phone has been my daily driver for over two weeks now, and I must say it's a delight to use. The Shadow Black color variant looks stunning, with a matte glass finish on the back that attracts some smudges but remains clean overall. The phone's in-hand feel is sublime, thanks to its slim 7.4mm thickness and lightweight 177g design, making it perfect for those with smaller hands like mine.

The camera setup is impressive, featuring a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and support for Leica image science. While not the best, the camera captures good images and smooth videos in various scenarios. The front camera takes excellent selfies, especially with its dual-camera setup that includes an Ultra-Wide lens. The display is a highlight of the device, boasting a 6-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with vibrant colors, deep blacks, and impressive peak brightness.

Under the hood, the phone runs Android 14 with Hyper OS, which is snappy and responsive. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset powers the device, handling demanding tasks with ease.
