Xiaomi has confirmed that a new Civi-branded smartphone is on the way, promising a balanced flagship experience in a compact form. While official details remain scarce, a fresh leak from tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that the device could set new standards for slimness while packing a substantial battery. The smartphone in question appears to be the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro, which may offer significant upgrades over its predecessor.
Slim profile with a massive battery
According to the leak, the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro is expected to feature a remarkably slim body, measuring just 7mm in thickness. Despite its compact design, the device could house a 6000mAh battery, making it one of the thinnest smartphones to feature such a large power unit. If these details hold true, the Civi 5 Pro would surpass other compact flagship models in terms of battery capacity relative to thickness.
For comparison, the Chinese variant of the Xiaomi 15 comes with a 5,410mAh battery and has an 8.08mm body. Also, the Vivo X200 Pro Mini features a 5,700 mAh battery within an 8.15mm frame. The Civi 4 Pro from last year, in contrast, included a 4,700mAh battery and measured 7.5mm thick. The Civi 5 Pro could mark a significant leap in design, offering improved battery life in an even slimmer profile.
Flagship performance with Snapdragon chipset
The upcoming smartphone is expected to be powered by a high-performance chipset from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 series. Although the leak does not confirm the exact processor, previous reports suggest that the Civi 5 Pro may feature the Snapdragon 8s Elite chipset. If true, this would position the device as a capable flagship-level performer, delivering smooth multitasking and enhanced gaming capabilities.
Camera upgrades and premium design
The Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro is expected to bring major improvements to its camera setup. It may include a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. This should make it a great choice for capturing detailed shots from a distance. The rear cameras will likely be placed in a circular module at the top-left corner of the phone.
On the front, the device is rumored to have a curved-edge display with dual selfie cameras. This design is ideal for wide-angle selfies and video calls. It may also feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner for fast and secure unlocking. The phone’s glass body is expected to give it a sleek and premium feel.
Price and launch details
The Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro is rumored to be priced at around 3,000 Yuan (about $415). Some reports suggest it could be released in India under a different name, possibly as the Xiaomi 15 Civi. More details should become available as Xiaomi prepares for its official launch.
