Zhidong October 13 news, Xiaomi recently launched its own new mobile phone brand - Xiaomi CiVi series, and brought a new Xiaomi CiVi mobile phone.
This time, Xiaomi CiVi focuses on the two themes of "good looking and easy to use". Xiaomi Civi product manager and brand spokesperson Wei Siqi said, "Xiaomi CiVi not only wants to be the best looking in the performance phone, but also wants to be the best in the camera phone." That said, performance and taking photos will be the two most critical elements of Xiaomi CiVi.
Now that almost every smartphone is moderately tuned for portrait photography, beauty mode is nothing new. What new tricks will Xiaomi CiVi play on beauty? Zhi Dong got the latest Xiaomi CiVi mobile phone at the first time and conducted an in-depth experience.
<h2>First, open the beauty 3.0 era, no longer have to worry about the plain face out of the door</h2>
How does Xiaomi CiVi make people look good? I took a set of photos and you can see that different phones handle portrait shots differently.

The first is Apple's iPhone 12 mini. We can clearly see that apples are always "realistic" shots, and even the skin tones of the characters will appear slightly dull under the influence of light. This is a bit similar to the camera setup at the beginning of the phone, simple and realistic.
The picture on the far right is taken with OPPO's Find X3 phone. When shooting portraits, the mobile phone has done a certain degree of processing on the portraits, but compared with the real portraits, there is a slight distortion, and the human skin will also appear "false white". This beauty optimization mode is a bit similar to the form of mobile phones that have just begun to add beauty mode, and everyone can have V-shaped faces, big eyes, and double eyelids.
Compared with the previous two, Xiaomi CiVi has made its own new attempt at the camera mode - "pixel-level muscle light new technology". The technology uses a self-developed GAN adversarial neural network algorithm, which compares the processed photos with the original film, and when the similarity of the two reaches the standard, the final photo is generated.
In this way, your skin will not be the same "ivory", but "restore" the condition of your skin in better condition. Compared with the "skin changing method", Xiaomi CiVi maintains the characteristics of the character itself, and on the basis of "skin care", it has done a certain degree of portrait optimization. It can also be seen in the comparison of pictures that Xiaomi CiVi retains some of the flaws of the characters, but optimizes the skin base color of the skin as a whole.
During the experience, I also experienced the Xiaomi CiVi's dark light selfie mode in a variety of scenes. We can see that in a low-light environment, Xiaomi CiVi can also do better optimization of portraits.
In addition to portraits, Xiaomi CiVi images occasionally appear distorted in everyday location shots. For example, the trees in the image automatically increase the color of the leaves compared to the trees photographed by the Apple iPhone 12 mini.

<h2>Second, thin and light mobile phones can also have long battery life? Xiaomi CiVi supports 120Hz high brush screen</h2>
My first impression of getting the Xiaomi CiVi is that this phone is very thin and light. In fact, the Xiaomi CiVi weighs only 166g.

I compare the Xiaomi CiVi with the iPhone 13 Pro, and you can clearly see that the Xiaomi Civi is thinner than the iPhone 13 Pro. The Xiaomi CiVi has a body thickness of only 6.98mm and has xiaomi's narrowest chin, with a chin width of only 2.55mm. In everyday use, I often overlook the presence of this chin.

When you get a thin and light mobile phone, the first thing everyone will worry about is the battery life problem. Because thin and light phones often mean that there is not enough space left for the battery. But the Xiaomi CiVi has a battery capacity of 4500mAh and supports a fast charge of 55W.
After using it for a period of time, I found that the Xiaomi CiVi with full grid power can meet the needs of the day if it is used as the main machine, in the case of heavy use such as playing games and brushing videos. In the case of moderate or light use, Xiaomi CiVi can support 3-5 days of battery life.
It is smoother when playing games with Xiaomi CiVi
When I play some games through Xiaomi CiVi, I will not feel that the game scene is stuttered, and the game is hot for a long time, which means that the 778G chip equipped with Xiaomi CiVi can basically meet my needs in terms of performance.
In addition, Xiaomi CiVi also supports Dolby sound, when I wear headphones to brush video, the sound quality effect is better, and the viewing experience is good. Xiaomi CiVi also supports 120Hz high-brush screen display, which is smoother when visiting web pages.
But in the process of using it, I also feel some shortcomings of Xiaomi CiVi. For example, one-handed operation is more difficult, and there will be a sudden return to the desktop.
<h2>Conclusion: Xiaomi re-entered the female mobile phone market</h2>
This is not the first time Xiaomi has tried to enter the female mobile phone market, in 2019, after Xiaomi acquired a Meitu mobile phone, it released a CC9 mobile phone in July of the same year, but it did not release a new product in the follow-up, this time Xiaomi re-entered the female market track with the CiVi series.
Judging from the evaluation of Xiaomi Civi, Xiaomi seems to have grasped the main points of the female market this time, in order to optimize the camera mode of portraits, the design of the thin and light body, and provide a certain degree of performance, which can meet the basic needs of girls' daily use of mobile phones.
Each one defines a good-looking and good-looking phone differently, and we will see if Xiaomi Civi can win the love of female users again.
