Not only is the appearance more refined, but also Leica blessing Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro phone review
Xiaomi Civi series has always been a mobile phone product line aimed at young users, and pays great attention to appearance design and photo function to meet the needs of young users for fashionable appearance and high-quality photography, and it is favored by many female users. However, this does not mean that the Xiaomi Civi series is a purely female-oriented mobile phone or selfie phone, and ignores the experience of other performance and other aspects, such as the newly launched Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, which directly has an unprecedented upgrade in parameter performance and image specifications, so that young users can also enjoy the "Pro" level of use.
Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is not only the first to be equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8s flagship mobile platform this time, but also the first Civi series mobile phone with built-in surging OS, and even the Leica imaging system, which was previously only equipped with digital flagship series, has also been devolved to Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro this time, and the outsole sensor and Leica Summilux optical lens system have not been left behind. So next, let's take a look at how this Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro performs!
Dual-material color-block design The sense of delicacy is not inferior to that of the flagship machine
The dual-color design adopted by the previous generation Xiaomi Civi 3 series has been recognized by many students and young users, and is highly recognizable. And this time Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro still adopts the design idea of dual color matching, but from the upper and lower color matching of the previous generation to the left and right color matching, the back cover adopts different shades of color matching under the same color system, at the same time, the two different colors have different touches.

In terms of color matching, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro has a total of 4 colors to choose from, in addition to soft mist pink, breeze blue and starry black, there is also a "spring green" color that is very suitable for the current season. In particular, the "Spring Green" color scheme is very delicate and elegant, the left side of the back cover adopts a new color polishing process, through manual color mixing and unique solidification technology, showing the natural form of water wave flow, in different angles or under the sun, you can clearly feel the rich colors flowing on the back cover of the light green mobile phone, like Monet's paintings, and the darker right side of the stitching is the same Konapi as the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra, soft and comfortable to the touch, and it is also very resistant to dirt.

The side volume and power buttons are very thin and light overall
Thin and light,It has always been one of the most obvious features of the Xiaomi Civi series,Although the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro has been upgraded in all aspects,But it still has not given up the thin and light design。 The overall weight of the mobile phone is only 177.6g, and the thickness of the "Spring Green" color is only 7.75mm, and the other three colors are thinner to 7.45mm, which is even thinner than the previous generation Xiaomi Civi 3.
It is light and thin, but it also has an excellent grip
The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro still has a very comfortable grip under the thin and light body, even if it is upgraded to a more sturdy all-metal middle frame, but the rounded design of the four R corners does not feel awkward when touching the palm, and at the same time, the phone adopts a slightly curved design on the front and back, especially the front screen is the Xiaomi Mi 14 The Pro-like ultra-deep curved screen not only looks more advanced, but also has a very smooth curved surface transition, which is smooth when fingers slide inward from the edge of the screen, and there will be no accidental touches.
It is equipped with a 6.55-inch 1.5K resolution screen
In terms of screen configuration, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's full contour slightly curved screen is a 6.55-inch 1.5K screen with 1236×2750 resolution, with 460 PPI pixel density and support for 60-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, reaching 100% P3 color gamut and 68 billion color display, as well as 3000nit ultra-high screen brightness and large viewing angle, and supporting 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.
The screen is the same C8 light-emitting material as the Xiaomi 14 series
In terms of the viewing effect of the screen, this time the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro can be said to be completely built in accordance with the flagship. The reason why the screen can reach an ultra-high 3000nit,Because it is equipped with the flagship Xiaomi 14 series, the same new energy-efficient C8 light-emitting material jointly developed by Xiaomi and TCL Huaxing,It is currently one of the brightest products on the Xiaomi screen,It is used in bright environments、Watch HDR content and enhance visual effects and color performance have great benefits。 At the same time, the 3000nit brightness can achieve a wider range of brightness, presenting a more realistic and vivid image effect, providing higher contrast and more delicate detail performance.
Round lens module design like a starry sky
Like its predecessor, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro still uses a round lens module, but the difference is that the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is more refined in terms of overall design and details. For example, the black background of the entire circular lens module of the mobile phone is embellished with a lot of delicate silver sequins like the Xiaomi Mi 14 Pro, which looks like the sparkling stars of the night sky when viewed from different angles and in different lighting.
Bottom speaker, Type-C port and SIM card slot
In terms of battery life, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro has been upgraded from the previous generation's 4500mAh battery to a larger 4700mAh battery, and supports 67W fast charging, which can also increase the battery capacity when the thickness of the fuselage is thinner. After our actual testing, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is also satisfactory in terms of charging speed, basically it can charge the phone to more than 50% of the battery in 15 minutes, and it only takes more than 40 minutes to fully charge, and the thin and light phone has no charging anxiety at all.
Leica blessing better photos, portraits are more textured
Just like the model name, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is completely Pro-level standard in terms of imaging, and the addition of the Leica Sumilux optical system is indeed an unprecedented upgrade for the Xiaomi Civi series. The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's Leica imaging system also uses a classic rear triple camera combination, including a 50-million-pixel 1/1.55-inch Light-Shadow Hunter 800-sensor wide-angle main camera, a 50-million-pixel F1.98 large-aperture 2X zoom portrait lens, and a 12-million-pixel 15mm-equivalent ultra-wide-angle lens.
The camera interface is the same as that of the Xiaomi 14 series, with a separate Leica Pro mode and fast EV exposure adjustment
Leica Classic
Leica vivid
In terms of photo style, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro also follows the Leica color of the flagship digital series, you can choose between "Leica Classic" and "Leica Vivid" two different color styles, and you can also experience the Leica camera-like three-dimensional tone effect in thin and light mobile phones, which can bring different tones and different picture textures in the same scene.

The phone also supports 4X zoom and 100mm focal length shooting
The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's image improvement is due to the better image quality on the one hand, and the consistency of imaging between different lenses brought about by the Leica imaging system on the other. Judging from the samples of the same scene shot in the quad-focal range above, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's rendering of color reproduction, white balance, chiaroscuro, and saturation is very uniform.

The Light Hunter 800 sensor has a higher dynamic range, and the large light ratio scene can also restore the details of the picture
The Leica Summlux optical lens system is also a very big advantage of the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, if you know that only lenses with a large aperture of F1.4-F1.7 and ultra-high optical quality can be labeled as Summlux lenses. The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's main camera has a large aperture of f/1.63, and with the Light Hunter 800 sensor with a higher dynamic range, the amount of light entering is 118% of that of the previous generation.
Support master portrait shooting, and new smart beauty effects
Excellent portrait shooting and selfie function is an important reason why the Xiaomi Civi series is deeply concerned and loved by female users, and this time Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is not only equipped with a separate 2X portrait lens, but also has the same AI large model computing camera platform as Xiaomi 14 Ultra and the "Master Portrait" mode, which integrates the new AIGAN beautification algorithm on the portrait model on selfie beautification, and easily shoots more delicate and layered portrait blockbusters.
Master portrait mode
Leica portrait mode
Compared to the Leica Portrait mode, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra's Master Portrait mode captures photos with less polishing and the digital sense brought by HDR, making the characters more three-dimensional and realistic. The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's portrait shots are also more layered, skin details and textures are more realistic, and the photos give more storytelling.

Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's portrait mode shows a quality that is very close to the real optical bokeh effect, as can be seen from the portrait samples taken by the mobile phone above, not only the background blur intensity is different, but the details of the hair strands at the bokeh edges are also preserved, and the facial features of the characters produce a layered bokeh transition due to the distance from the camera, thus presenting a more three-dimensional and natural effect. In addition to better bokeh of the background, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro also shows an excellent performance in handling people's faces and ambient lighting, and the portraits have a layered sense of light and shadow, and the overall rendering is more natural and realistic.
32 million pixels, 78°+100° front dual camera
The powerful front image system is also the advantage of Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, the front is a dual-camera combination, one of the two lenses is a 78° angle of view26mm equivalent focal length beauty lens, and has an F2.0 large aperture to ensure sufficient light intake, and the other is a 100° angle of view ultra-wide-angle lens, which can include more scenes and environments, avoid excessive face proportion, and is more suitable for multiple people to take selfies, and both lenses are 32 million pixels.

In the above selfie photos taken with the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's front wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses, you can clearly see the 100° ultra-wide angle of view of the ultra-wide lens, which allows the captured images to accommodate more people and scenes, presenting a wider and richer picture. At the same time, Xiaomi has corrected and optimized the lens distortion, whether it is a 78° beauty lens or a 100° ultra-wide lens, there is no obvious picture distortion or face elongation, which further improves the use experience of selfies and multi-person co-shooting. This optimized design makes it easier than ever to take natural, realistic photos, making every selfie feel vibrant and vibrant.

And it is worth mentioning that whether it is the front or rear camera, through Civi's unique portrait model and AI-GAN pixel-level skin rejuvenation technology, the beautification effect of the face has been more finely adjusted. Especially when using the front-facing camera to take selfies, enabling the "Smart Beautification" function can intelligently identify gender, age, scene, and selfies of three people, and can automatically complete the beautification with one click, for example, when taking a photo with friends or family, the system will automatically match the appropriate beautification effect for each person, and women will show a more moist and moving effect, and for children, the beautification parameters will be adjusted to a lower level, retaining their innocent and cute temperament. This feature is designed so that when taking a group photo with multiple people, each person can present the most beautiful effect for them, showing the charm of different genders and ages.
It was first equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8S flagship mobile platform
In terms of performance configuration, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is the world's first mobile phone equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8s mobile platform, which completely surpasses other products in the same class, and truly achieves a "Pro" level of high configuration. The third-generation Snapdragon 8s platform it carries uses the same Qualcomm Kryo CPU as the third-generation Snapdragon 8, which is still a 1+4+3 CPU architecture, which is a super core with a frequency of up to 3.0GHz, four performance cores with a frequency of up to 2.8GHz, and three efficiency cores with a frequency of 2.0GHz, which can handle various heavy loads and daily tasks with ease, achieving an excellent balance of performance and power consumption.
In addition, in addition to the third-generation Snapdragon 8s mobile platform, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is also equipped with the same LPDDR 5X+UFS 4.0 high-speed storage specifications as the digital flagship, directly putting the top performance iron triangle into this thin and light phone. According to the actual benchmark results, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's overall score in the Antutu v10.2 version is close to 1.6 million, which should be regarded as a new benchmark for performance in thin and light mobile phones. In terms of GPU, the third-generation Snapdragon 8s mobile platform also has a good score, with a running score of 550,000+, which is comparable to the second-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship platform, which means that Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro can easily cope with all kinds of large-scale mobile games on the market as easily as flagship phones. In addition, in the GeekBench 6 test, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro scored 2000 for single-core and nearly 5500 for multi-core. It seems that the third-generation Snapdragon 8s mobile platform performs very well in terms of CPU and GPU performance, and I believe that it will be very sought-after in the future, and has become a popular configuration for many flagship or mid-to-high-end mobile phones.
Honor of Kings supports extremely high frame rates
In the Honor of Kings mobile game, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro supports an extremely high frame rate mode of up to 120 fps. The average frame rate recorded by PerfDog software is 120.1 frames per second with the graphics effects turned on, and the frame rate is consistently high throughout the game, with almost no noticeable frame rate changes or noticeable stuttering, resulting in a very smooth picture performance.
Genshin Impact supports 60fps frame rate
In the Genshin Impact game test, which requires more performance configuration of the phone, we turned on the 60 fps quality for the running image test, and after 20 minutes of gameplay, the PerfDog software recorded an average frame rate of 59.8 fps. It is worth mentioning that this mobile phone, which focuses on thin and light design, is also equipped with an annular cold pump cooling system, and the heat dissipation performance of the mobile phone during the game is also satisfactory, even if the game is played for a long time, there is no obvious heat situation.
Review Summary:
Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro has received the biggest upgrade in the history of the series, equipped with "pure-blooded" Leica optics, bringing the original Leica image, which is the only product with professional imaging strength in the same class and positioning mobile phones. This means that even young or student users will be able to get a more professional-level photography experience when using the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, capturing better photos that are more realistic, layered, and textured. What's more, this time Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro also has the blessing of the world's first third-generation Snapdragon 8s mobile platform, which swept away the inherent impression that the performance of the series was weak in the past.
The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro has not only improved the overall performance and image performance of the phone, but also demonstrated Xiaomi's unremitting pursuit of user experience and innovation, bringing you a more high-quality and professional experience. I believe that such a thin and light mobile phone with a more refined appearance, more powerful performance, and a more layered sense of taking photos should be favored by more young users and people who pursue exterior design.
