Xiaomi’s Civi series is a popular lineup of smartphones with premium designs and high end specs. Following the brand’s philosophy, they also arrive with aggressive price tags. The company is now working on the new Civi 5 Pro, which has been spotted in certifications, leaks, and teasers over the last couple of weeks. So here’s a detailed roundup so you know what to expect.
Design and Display
Teaser posters have revealed the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro in multiple color options, namely purple, beige, white, and black variants. The device appears to have a flat panel on the rear, with curves on all four corners. The back has a large circular camera island with three image sensors. Xiaomi places an emphasis on design with the Civi lineup, so we can expect a slim, light, and sleek profile.
On the front, the device is expected to sport a 6.55-inch quad curved OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, high refresh rate, and an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint screen.
Hardware
The Civi 5 Pro features some powerful hardware. A recent GeekBench listing confirmed that it is equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, which has at least one model with 16GB of RAM. It also confirmed to launch with the Android 15 OS out of the box that likely has a HyperOS skin on top.
While initial rumors had hinted at a sizeable 5,000mAh battery, another report claims that the battery has a much larger 6,000mAh+ capacity. The 3C certification sighting from back in March revealed 67W wired fast charging support as well.
Camera
For photography, the rear has a 50MP triple camera setup with the main sensor having a f/1.63 aperture, while the ultra wide has an f/2.2 aperture with a 15mm focal length. The third shooter is a telephoto camera with a 60mm focal length. On the front, the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro packs another 50MP sensor for selfies and video calls. But similar to the flagship Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the Civi 5 Pro is getting Leica optics.
The latest teaser showcases the cameras with LEICA VARIO-SUMMILUX 1:6.3-2.2/15-60 ASPH. The telephoto shooter is a Leica floating telephoto lens, which borrows from the Xiaomi 15 again. Xiaomi is claiming an upgrade in the image sensors, allowing for improved resolution and 25 percent improvement in photosensitivity thanks to the new “ultra-transparent nano-prism”. This translates to improved low light camera performance.
Launch timeline
Xiaomi has officially confirmed the launch timeline of the Civi 5 Pro. Unfortunately, the exact release date is still at large, we do know that it will be held later this month. There are rumors that the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro will make its debut in China on 22nd May 2025.
