Recently, Xiaomi has published an interesting video with prototype stages of its new smartphone line, Xiaomi CIVI 4. The video evidences the number of camera shapes tested during this development process, including rectangular, trapezoidal, triple, and single-camera configurations. With almost 100 different designs and unreleased color variants presented, one may say that this is some sort of behind-the-scenes view prior to pinning down the design of the Xiaomi CIVI 4.
This video gives a very good idea of how creative Xiaomi was before the device went into production. Rarely do we see how many ideas and iterations are involved in designing a flagship smartphone-especially when the camera module is probably the most substantial key feature for any modern phone.
Specifications of the CIVI 4 by Xiaomi
- Display: 6.55″ (2750×1236 px) 1.5K resolution TCL CSoT C8 OLED Display
- Colour Depth: 1.67 Billion colors (12-bit)
- Processor: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC
- Main Camera: 50MP Light Hunter 800, f/1.63, OIS
- Tele Camera: 50MP, 2X (Samsung JN1 with OIS)
- Lens: LEICA SUMMILUX Port: USB-C 2.0 AI Sensor: Virtual Proximity – Note: This device doesn’t support an IP rating.
This device comes as Xiaomi 14 CIVI, in addition, in India. Addition with the 12-bit colour OLED display, Snapdragon processor, and Leica lenses showcases that Xiaomi is focused on premium features for the series CIVI. Be sure to watch the video to see all of these designs that never made it to market!
