Xiaomi recently introduced the CIVI 4 Pro smartphone in the Chinese market, as planned. This device expands on the CIVI series, initially targeted towards women but now appealing to a broader audience due to its appealing design and robust premium features.
Design & Display
The CIVI 4 Pro maintains the design essence of its predecessor, the CIVI 3, with subtle refinements. Its back showcases a circular camera setup housing three lenses and an LED flash. The camera module is encircled by a textured metal ring matching the back's color. The device is available in four standard colors: Spring Field Green, Soft Mist Pink, Breeze Blue, and Black. Particularly, the Spring Field Green variant boasts a glossy finish with vibrant spring hues, achieved through a unique "colorful gilding" process. This variant also likely features a textured back, possibly crafted from vegan leather.
Display Features
On the front, the phone sports a slightly curved display with ultra-slim bezels measuring 1.6mm, 1.44mm, and 2.02mm on the top, sides, and bottom, respectively. The 6.55-inch display offers a resolution of 2750 x 1236 pixels, a 460 PPI pixel density, full DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 3000 nits. Additional features include HDR10+, Dolby Vision support, and Wet Touch functionality to prevent ghost touches on a wet screen. The display incorporates a pill-shaped cutout housing two front cameras and is safeguarded by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Xiaomi claims that the device can maintain an average frame rate of 59.4 FPS during a 30-minute session of Genshin Impact. The phone packs a 4700mAh battery with 67W fast charging support, promising a full charge in 40 minutes. For thermal management, a 4184mm² vapor chamber cooling system is employed.
