If it weren't for the US media to make the truth public, I don't know how many Chinese people would still be in the dark! A fact that is unacceptable to Western countries has been revealed, and China has now surpassed the United States in these key areas. For example, 5G communications, new energy vehicle industry, etc., even Apple's once solid high-end position of the iPhone has now begun to waver.
The numbers speak for themselves, according to the Wall Street Journal, Apple's iPhone sales in the mainland market fell 24% year-on-year in the first six weeks of 2024. This situation is not accidental, on the one hand, Apple has continued to "rot" in recent years, lacking innovation and change in products. On the other hand, hard-core Chinese companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi continue to make efforts, which has caused a lot of competitive pressure on Apple, such as the Mate60 and Xiaomi 14 series, which once made the iPhone 15 series bleak.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to making significant progress in the high-end market, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have also performed well in the mid-range market. Just recently, the news of Xiaomi's Civi 4Pro's official announcement has attracted widespread attention in the industry, and in the eyes of many digital bloggers, it has almost locked in the strongest imaging flagship of the year, and at the same time, it has completely torn off Apple's "fig leaf".
In terms of imaging, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro not only inherits the high-end technology of Xiaomi's flagship digital series, but even has some top-of-the-line specs that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra does not have. This level of material stacking is rare in a mid-range model. With the support of high-end imaging technologies such as the Leica Summilux lens, master portraits, and Xiaomi AISP, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro has the strength to compete with high-end models in terms of photography.
In order to better adapt to Xiaomi AISP, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro debuted the third-generation Snapdragon 8s processor at any cost. The addition of this 8 series high-end processor not only improves the overall performance of the phone, but also provides more powerful computing power support for image processing. Such a configuration choice undoubtedly shows Xiaomi's determination and sincerity in the pursuit of product performance.
In addition to its powerful rear camera system, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro continues its strength in selfies. The design of the front bionic dual camera, coupled with the access of the AI large model, makes the selfie effect even better. Master portraits and quad focal lengths are arranged in the front and back, covering a wider range to meet the shooting needs of users in different scenes. Such an image configuration is undoubtedly a leapfrog in the same price segment.
In actual shooting, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's performance is even more impressive. Judging from the actual shots, whether it is a portrait or a landscape, the picture presents a natural and realistic effect. The rich detail, layering, and excellent background blur make people impress the image power of this mid-range model. It can be said that in the same price range, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro's photo results have reached the top level.
On the other hand, Apple's iPhone, in recent years, has been upgraded in terms of image, which is completely "thunder and rain", and there is almost no big change. Obviously, compared with foreign brands such as Apple, domestic machines are undoubtedly more radical and sincere in terms of configuration upgrades. The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is a prime example. It not only achieves the ultimate in imaging, but also has excellent performance in terms of performance and appearance. It is foreseeable that as long as Chinese enterprises can adhere to self-research and continuous innovation, then domestic machines will inevitably occupy a favorable position in the fierce market competition in the future.
