What Does the Xiaomi Civi Have to Offer?
The Xiaomi Civi uses the slogan “natural looking” and it targets a more natural appearance. This brand focuses on five main areas including appearance, selfie images, screen, feel, and charging speed.
All these improvements reflects in the recently released Xiaomi Civi. However, the change in appearance is the most significant addition to this smartphone. The company also considers this smartphone to be the most beautiful in its history.
The Xiaomi Civi comes with a hyperboloid screen with a center punch-hole design. This device also uses a new second-generation COP packaging process.
Thus, we can see that the four sides of the display are extremely narrow and the lower frame is only 2.55mm wide. This makes it the smallest chin of Xiaomi mobile phones so far.
The back process of Xiaomi Civi is also very unique. It is the first time that Xiaomi introduced the velvet AG process. Compared with the ordinary AG process, it not only provides a smooth feel but also brings a shiny visual impression (Bling Bling). The pink version has a fluffy texture.
