In this review, we'll delve into the device's performance, camera capabilities, and gaming experience, as well as its battery life and overall value for money.

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 quad-curve display is a joy to use, allowing seamless gestures and swipe operations. 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. It's perfect for watching movies and TV shows, thanks to Dolby Vision support and dual Studio speakers with Dolby Atmos. 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. Battery life is decent, but charging is quick at 67W, taking about 40 minutes to fully charge. Overall, the Xiaomi Civi offers an excellent display, reliable cameras, and a great user experience, making it a compelling option in the sub-$500 category.
