Typically, there have been subtle hardware differences between the Xiaomi mobiles launched in China and their global counterparts. That said, reviewing the specifications of the already-launched Xiaomi CIVI 5 Pro gives us a fair idea of what to expect from the handset’s Indian version.
Powerful Snapdragon processor: The CIVI 5 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, which is common for the upper mid-range and mid-premium segments. This powerful octa-core processor has a maximum clock speed of 3.21 GHz, making it well-suited for handling mid-to-heavy gaming and multitasking sessions. Made with 4 nm process technology, this chipset ensures smooth performance that also saves power. The Xiaomi CIVI 5 Pro pairs it with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage for lag-free, super-fast read and write speeds.
Fluid 1.5K display: If you love content, the CIVI 5 Pro gives you just what you need. The Chinese variant of the handset features a 6.55-inch 1.5K 120Hz OLED screen that’s both vivid and fluid. It features HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support to ensure the delivery of cinematic content, whether you are watching movies or gaming. The high 240Hz touch sampling rate provides better responsiveness to the screen when gaming, while the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection ensures ample protection against falls. Checking emails, making calls, and reading texts outdoors is easy with the CIVI 5 Pro, thanks to the 3,200 nits peak brightness of this screen. To top it off, the micro-curved display features narrow bezels, providing a true full-screen experience.
Leica-engineered triple cameras: The launch of new Xiaomi mobiles means the possibility of camera upgrades. The CIVI 5 Pro upholds this legacy. The Chinese variant sports a Leica-engineered triple rear camera system that’s designed to capture the world in style. The rear camera set-up includes an OIS-enabled 50MP primary lens with a Light Fusion 800 sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP floating telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom. This Leica-engineered camera system captures shots with a high dynamic range and sharp details even in low-light conditions. On the front, the Xiaomi CIVI 5 Pro features a 50MP sensor with super-transparent nano prism technology, which boosts photosensitivity by 25% compared to previous models.
Massive 6,000 mAh battery: The CIVI 5 Pro debuted with a large 6,000 mAh battery in China, and we can expect a similar battery capacity in the global variant as well. This high-silicon lithium battery can power over 16 hours of short video streaming with ease, making frequent charging breaks an event of the past. It also supports 67 W fast charging, so you can bounce back into action in a jiffy. Despite the sizable battery, the Xiaomi CIVI 5 Pro manages to keep its dimensions slim, measuring just 7.65 mm in thickness and weighing approximately 184 grams.
Based on the Xiaomi CIVI 5 Pro’s price in China, it is likely to be priced between Rs. 37,000 and Rs. 43,000 in India upon launch.
