Xiaomi has started teasing a new phone launch in India. In a first, the Chinese smartphone company is gearing to launch a Civi branded smartphone in the country. Another first will be that it will be the first Xiaomi smartphone in years to launch in the sub-50K price segment. For comparisons sake, it will be positioned between the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus and the Xiaomi 14.
Now, Xiaomi hasn’t revealed the name of the smartphone but it is very likely to be the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro. Xiaomi is teasing “cinematic vision” hyping up the phone’s camera capabilities. A unique thing about the Civi 4 Pro is that it sports Leica optics, making it the first non-Xiaomi number series model to boast of such a setup. Another interesting thing to note about this phone is that, at launch, it was the first smartphone to come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. In India, Poco will beat Xiaomi by launching the Poco F6 with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 first though.
