The highly anticipated Xiaomi 14 Civi has finally been unveiled in India. This model arrives as the brand’s latest affordable flagship model and features some top notch specs and features at a relatively affordable price tag. So here’s everything you need to know about its hardware, pricing, and more.
1. Xiaomi 14 Civi: Design & Display
To recall, the Xiaomi 14 Civi is basically a rebranded version of the Civi 4 Pro, which launched in China back in March 2024. So it also comes with a premium glass panel at the back. There is also an eco leather variant as well. The rear also houses a circular camera module for the image sensors and LED flash. It has a flat frame on the sides that is built with aluminum. The Xiaomi 14 Civi measures just 7.45mm in thickness and weighs 179 grams.
On the front, the new device sports a 6.55-inch AMOLED display that offers 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut, 3,000 nits of peak brightness, and Dolby Vision. This panel has a 20:9 aspect ratio and comes with Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 panel for protection. The company also refers to the screen as a ‘floating quad-curve’ display. This panel supports Wet Touch tech that helps avoid ghost touches when your screen is wet. There is also a pill shaped cutout that houses the dual selfie camera setup.
2. Specifications
Under the hood, the Xiaomi 14 Civi is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. This is a high-end processor that is paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. A 4,700mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 67W wired fast charging. This means it should charge up to full in just around 40 minutes. These beefy specs are cooled using what the brand refers to as Xiaomi Iceloop technology.
The latest smartphone runs on the Android 14 OS based HyperOS out of the box. Other notable features include dual band Wi-Fi 6, 5G connectivity, Bluetooth 5.4, AAC/LDAC/LHDC support, NFC, and an infrared sensor. For audio, there is a stereo speaker setup.
