Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Lei. Let's talk about Xiaomi Civi4Pro today.
In the past five years, all mobile phone manufacturers have arranged two types of mobile phones with obvious differences in their 2000-3500 yuan product lines:
The first is a performance machine, which emphasizes performance and cost performance. The initiator is the Redmi K series, which has been imitated by various companies, such as oppo's realme GT, OnePlus ACE, vivo's iqoo neo, and Honor is digital GT.
The second is a selfie phone, the initiator is the vivoS series and the oppo reno series, which are imitated by each family, Huawei nova, Honor Digital, and Xiaomi is civi.
But now that manufacturers are getting more and more rolled, the price reductions of the previous generation flagships are also approaching 3K, and the selfie phones with weak performance have also worked the rear camera.
In 2024, the high-end version (pro version) of selfie phones has also adopted the processor of the previous generation of flagship phones, and the rear camera has also prepared a 2X telephoto guarantee.
Honor 100pro, vivoS18pro, and OPPO reno11pro are all released at the end of 2023, and Xiaomi civi4pro, which is 3 months later than its competitors, is belated, so what will it rely on to win?
Only Leica Images.
2999Yuan Xiaomi civi4pro does not have any advantage in terms of cost performance,In the past 3 months,3199Yuan vivoS18pro has dropped500Yuan,3499Yuan reno11pro has dropped 800 yuan。
Even Glory, which has always been slow to reduce prices, has also dropped its 100pro by 500 yuan. And the Xiaomi Civi4Pro, which was only released on March 21, has no advantage in starting at 2999 yuan.
If there is no price advantage, then the price will be reduced, it has just been released for 10 days, and now it has dropped by 210 yuan to 2789 yuan. This is the rhythm of making the starting rice noodles the big one.
Well, the price is about the same, so let's compare the "mid-range flagships" of the four "OV Miyao" horizontally. (Sorry no Huawei nova). Parameters first:
1. Screen
The basic parameters of these four mobile phones are very close, all of them are 1.5K curved screens. The Oppo reno11pro, vivoS18pro, and Honor 100 pro also have similar screen sizes (6.78 inches).
Only the screen of Xiaomi Civi4Pro is slightly smaller (6.55 inches), because it should be considered that it is convenient for women to hold with one hand, and the length, width, and thickness are narrower, but it is a difference of a few millimeters.
Among the four mobile phones, the screen of the Honor 100Pro is undoubtedly the best anti-flicker (so it is also known as the most eye-protecting), not only these four mobile phones, but also the Honor 100Pro is also known as the most eye-friendly mobile phone on the market, there is no one.
The screen of Xiaomi civi4pro has also passed the triple eye protection certification of TÜV Rheinland, and high-brightness-like DC dimming + low-brightness high-frequency dimming is also the most common way to protect eyes in the mainstream flagships of various manufacturers.
2. Performance
In the past, selfie phones did not emphasize performance, but in 2024, all mid-range selfie flagships are equipped with processors with enough performance to play games.
The Honor 100Pro is equipped with last year's Qualcomm flagship Snapdragon 8Gen2, which has excellent performance and balanced power consumption.
vivoS18pro is equipped with last year's MediaTek flagship Dimensity 9200+, which has better performance, but the power consumption is on the high side and the battery life is slightly weaker.
OPPOreno11pro is equipped with Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8+ the year before last, and there is a small gap in performance and power consumption compared with the above two, but there is still no difference in daily use.
Xiaomi civi4pro is equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8Sgen3, this processor is Xiaolei's previous article: OnePlus Ace3V's Snapdragon 7+ gen3 skin. It's two brothers.
It's just that the Snapdragon 7+ gen3 frequency on the OnePlus Ace3v has been cut even more, so the theoretical performance of the CPU and GPU of the Snapdragon 8Sgen3 will be a little better.
But here's the problem, in the game test, especially in "Genshin Impact" and "Star Iron", the frame rate performance of the OnePlus Ace3v, which has a lower processor frequency, is much better than that of the Xiaomi civi4pro, which has a higher frequency. Why is that?
It's simple, femdom. OnePlus Ace3v is positioned as a 2K performance machine, and OnePlus is going to let the weaker brother run to death, so the results are good. And Xiaomi civi4pro positioning camera + selfie mobile phone, the brother with stronger performance doesn't have to work too hard to run the game, it just means it, so the results are not as good as the younger brother with weaker ability.
If you don't play games, why is the battery life better in daily useOnePlus Ace3v, it's very simple, the 5500 mAh battery is 800 mAh more than the 4700 mAh battery, and the Ace3v itself has a lower frequency, so it's not surprising that the battery life is long.
Finally, what if you ask me if I'm going to play games with Xiaomi Civi4Pro?
Turn Performance Mode on, or do your own research: Unlock Frequency.
3. Endurance
At this point, the Honor 100pro is most like a flagship mobile phone, with a 5000 mAh battery, 100W fast charging, and 66W wireless charging and reverse charging.
Although the vivo S18pro has a 5000 mAh battery, it only has 80W fast charging.
Xiaomi civi4pro in order to control the weight, only 4700 mAh battery, fast charging is only 67W, but it is also the only one of the four to achieve the weight of less than 180 grams.
OPPO reno11pro的电池4700毫安,80W快充。
Therefore, based on the above processor power consumption + battery capacity, the final conclusion: daily battery life
荣耀100pro>小米civi4pro=S18pro>reno11pro
OnePlus Ace3v is for users who don't play games or take pictures, and pursue long battery life.
4. Take pictures
I won't talk about selfies, the four selfie phones must have done their homework on selfies.
Mainly talk about rear photography.
The late-mover advantage of Xiaomi Civi4Pro is the use of Leica image (algorithm).
The vivo S18 pro was not willing to give Zeiss, and the oppo Reno11 pro was not willing to give it to Hasselblad. Of course, if it is given, their respective X100 and findX7 will not be easy to sell.
Glory100proThere is no give-give-not-give,The algorithm was originally self-developed after inheriting Huawei,It is also a slightly weaker of the four,It's not that I admire foreign flattery,The joint algorithm is indeed higher than the self-developed algorithm in terms of the texture of the finished film。
Nowadays, there are more than 2,000 mobile phones on the market with high-end algorithms, which is really rare.
That's right, the rear camera capability of the Xiaomi Civi4 Pro is undoubtedly the strongest of the four phones.
But you're going to ask me if it's worth buying, and I'll talk about it at the end. Let's start with the rest.
5. Other aspects
The difference between the four phones is more obvious
Honor 100Pro and Xiaomi Civi4Pro are positioned as mid-range mobile phones, only support wifi6, in order to ensure that the signal is on the self-developed signal chip again, the motor chooses a decent Z-axis.
OPPO reno11pro also only has wifi6, no signal enhancement chip, but on the best X-axis motor (for typing vibration?).
vivo S18 Pro is even more enigmatic. A mid-range mobile phone, you say it's weak, it's the only one of the four that has IP54 protection; then you praise it for being good, it uses the worst rotor motor (poor vibration feeling);You say it's bad, it's the only one of the four mobile phones that supports dual-band GPS (strong positioning signal);You say it's powerful,The only one of the four uses a single speaker (weak outside);You scold it for rubbish, it's the only one of the four with wifi7。
I was speechless.
By the way, in the end, only Xiaomi Civi4Pro uses a metal middle frame, and at the moment we generally regard it as the threshold of flagship mobile phones: "If you have it, it may not be considered a flagship, and if you don't have it, it must not be a flagship".
In addition, the plain leather and glass splicing of the civi4pro is also very beautiful.
6. Is Xiaomi Civi4Pro worth buying?
Let's take a closer look at the current price (April 2, 2024)
oppo Reno11pro basically belongs to the abandonment of treatment,Only two configurations,Compared with their previous generation reno10pro, there are no bright spots,It all depends on price reduction,Of course, I believe this is the sequelae of OPPO's big shock last year。 In the future, the decline of 618 will have a more obvious dive.
Glory100proAiming almost according to the flagship configuration,Lack of competitiveness in photography,But in view of the absolute advantage of eye protection and reliable processor and Huawei's pedigree, the price will not be reduced quickly,512G version618It is estimated that 2999 yuan can be taken。
vivoS18proCompared with the previous generation, only the processor performance has improved significantly,The camera ability is comparable to the previous generation,But relying on the good reputation of the orange system and the camera algorithm,512G version if it drops to about 2500 if the 618 is still worth starting。 But I think it's a bit unlikely.
The last is Xiaomi civi4pro,12+256G sells for 2999 yuan, it's crazy,With this money, I directly recommend buying Xiaomi 12Sultra,That's the real flagship of Leica photography。
But in view of its operation of reducing the price of 200 yuan in 10 days, I comment on four words: to see the after-effect, translated into the vernacular:
The price reduction is right, but it is not enough.
How much is enough?Glory100ProI don't dare to compare,Reno11ProDon't need to compare。 Keep an eye on vivoS18pro, after all, the processor is weaker, but if the price of the 512G version can be cheaper than the other party100-200 yuan, then it will be.
April 6th Rice Noodles Festival, May Day Promotion, 618 Shopping. The difference between Xiaomi civi4pro and OnePlus Ace3v is that in addition to the bezels, it is to take pictures. The pricing is too high, and if you want to skip the level, you can only be beaten by vivoX100.
Unless Xiaomi itself is not confident that the output of civi4pro is not much, I will sit and wait for the 512G version of civi4pro to reduce the price by 700 yuan in 90 days (3599 yuan on March 21 - ???? yuan on June 18) or more.
That's what counts as incense.
