Just two days ago, Xiaomi made the official announcement of the CIVI 4 Pro, sparking rumors of a potential global market release. However, GSMChina has since clarified that these rumors are unfounded, confirming that the CIVI 4 Pro will only be available in China and India. Smartphone manufacturers often adapt the names of their devices based on regional markets.
Xiaomi 14 Civi Unveiled
In India, the CIVI 4 Pro will be rebranded as the Xiaomi 14 Civi. While specific differences between the two models are not yet known, it is anticipated that most features will remain consistent across both variants. The Xiaomi 14 Civi, like its predecessor, is expected to maintain the stylish design and high-quality camera sensors that define the CIVI series.
Features of Xiaomi 14 Civi
The CIVI 4 Pro, now known as the Xiaomi 14 Civi in India, has garnered attention for its innovative features. One standout element is the integration of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 SOC, a high-performance chip with lower clock speeds that delivers performance comparable to the previous flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. Additionally, the device boasts a new Leica-powered camera system, promising to elevate mobile photography to new heights.
Gizmochina recently identified the Xiaomi 14 Civi in Mi Code, providing reliable information on the upcoming release. Rebranded from the CIVI 4 Pro, the Xiaomi 14 Civi will carry the codename "chenfeng" and the internal model number "N9." Xiaomi has emphasized the similarities between this model and the Xiaomi 14 Pro during its unveiling, signaling a strategic shift for the brand in the Indian market.
Market Exclusivity and Pricing
While details on the pricing of the Xiaomi 14 Civi in India are yet to be disclosed, it is anticipated to offer a more budget-friendly option compared to the Xiaomi 14. Contrary to earlier speculation, the purported Xiaomi 14 Lite, linked to DCS (Digital Chat Station), has been confirmed as non-existent. The Xiaomi 14 Civi is slated to remain exclusive to the Indian market, with no plans for a global release. Share your thoughts on the new Xiaomi 14 Civi in the comments section!
