We knew that Xiaomi would be releasing a new female-focused smartphone soon. The Xiaomi Civi 2 is set to hit the market today. Everything went according to planThe Chinese company launched its next-generation smartphone that focuses on selfies. By the way, if you remember, the first generation of Civi is known as the most beautiful Xiaomi smartphone. So the company did its best to continue this tradition.
appearance
The Xiaomi Civi 2 looks just as elegant as its predecessor. Furthermore, it is 7.23mm thick and weighs 171.8 grams. Thus, there will be no pressure on Pam when performing operations with one hand.
Also, our protagonist is available in four colors – pink, icy blue, black and white.
The Xiaomi Civi 2 has a 6.55-inch flexible 3D AMOLED display with a dial hole on the front. The screen comes with a high refresh rate of 120Hz, P3 color gamut, 10-bit color depth, and Dolby Vision. Besides, it supports 1920Hz high frequency PWM modulation. This very important feature provides a more comfortable experience when used at night.
The biggest highlight of the Xiaomi Civi 2
The most important feature of the phone is that it has the most powerful front camera system in the history of Xiaomi. As you guessed it, the camera module is hidden in a bean-shaped slot. There are two 32 megapixel cameras. Both are basic cameras that can even achieve SLR-level image blur.
Among them, the wide-angle lens has a large pixel size of 1.6μm and a large aperture of f/2.0. The latter increases light input by 50% compared to the previous generation. In addition, it comes with ALD coating and lens inking technology. They can be found on the rear cameras of flagship phones. The purpose of this technology is to reduce ghosting and glare in night selfies. At the same time, the front camera supports autofocus. Thus, it can take selfies faster.
The ultra-wide angle lens has an extremely wide viewing angle of 100 degrees. Simply put, when you take selfies with multiple people, they will all appear in the photo. In addition, it allows users to get a selfie-like performance when recording videos. As you know, there is a so-called “shorting” problem when capturing videos with the front camera. As a result, our faces are displayed more. Xiaomi Civi 2 also solved this problem.
The phone comes with a dual-tone temperature flash on the top bezel. So you can take bright and beautiful selfies anytime and anywhere.
Primary Camera
The rear camera module got a lot of improvements too. Now, it includes a Sony IMX766 1 / 1.56 50MP outsole. The latter increases the amount of light by 101.8% compared to the previous generation. There is also a 20MP 115-degree wide-angle lens.
Hardware and performance
This is the first smartphone in China to come with the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip. It can deliver outstanding performance. However, this is not surprising as it inherits 8 cores from the Snapdragon 8 series main processor. The overall performance is much better when compared to the Snapdragon 778G. Apart from improving CPU performance by 10%, GPU performance increasing by 20%, and AI performance increasing by 30%.
Although we are talking about a slim smartphone, the company has managed to put together a 4500mAh high-voltage lithium cobalt oxide chemical system battery. This is the same battery that we found on the Mi 12S. Meanwhile, it supports 67W wired fast charging. In fact, the battery will reach 100% power in just 40% minutes.
