Xiaomi Civi 4 Leak Points to Snapdragon 8 Series Processor. Xiaomi seems to have an exciting smartphone lineup planned for 2024. While the company is gearing up to launch devices like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in China and globally, it is also working on other smartphones behind the scenes. One of these is the Xiaomi Civi 4, which we have been hearing about through several leaks recently.
Today, notable Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) shared cryptic details on Weibo about a Xiaomi phone that is likely the Civi 4. While he didn’t explicitly mention the device name, DCS said the upcoming phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 series processor. If true, this would be a noteworthy upgrade over the Dimensity 8200 chip in its predecessor, the Civi 3.
However, this new leak contradicts some previous rumors that pointed to a Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset for the Civi 4 instead. Additionally, DCS mentions that the phone may feature a subtly curved 2.7D display panel with FHD+ or 1.5K resolution, along with a slim metal frame design.
Separately, another popular Chinese tipster, Smart Pikachu, has suggested that Xiaomi aims to position the Civi 4 as a direct rival to Honor’s high-end Number series phones. He also hints at a possible co-branded special edition of the device like the Civi 3 had with Disney. Further, he corroborates rumors of a curved display panel on the Civi 4.
Moreover, Smart Pikachu speculates that Xiaomi might unveil the Civi 4 as early as May this year. Given that its predecessor, the Civi 3, was also launched in May 2022, it would make sense for Xiaomi to target a similar timeline for announcing the next-gen Civi phone.
While we will have to wait for official updates from Xiaomi to know more about the Civi 4, these early leaks indicate an exciting phone could be in development. The rumors point to likely upgrades like a flagship-level Snapdragon 8 series chip and a sleek curved display in a slim form factor.
As we approach Xiaomi’s traditional spring product launch timeline, we hope to learn more details about the rumored specs, features, cameras, battery, pricing, and availability of the Xiaomi Civi 4. We will keep you updated as more concrete information surfaces online.
