At its very busy event today, Xiaomi not only unveiled the 15S Pro, Pad 7 Ultra, and new Watch S4 eSIM, but also the Civi 5 Pro. This mid-range phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, and it comes with a 6.55-inch AMOLED screen with 1236×2750 resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, 300 Hz touch sampling rate, 2,560 Hz PWM dimming, and 3,200-nit peak brightness.
It will be offered with 12/16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256/512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It has a 50 MP main camera with f/1.63 aperture and OIS, a 50 MP f/2.0 60mm equivalent telemacro camera which focuses from 10cm (said to be the exact same one seen in the Xiaomi 15), a 12 MP f/2.2 15mm equivalent ultrawide with 120-degree field-of-view, and a 50 MP f/2.0 selfie camera with autofocus. There is Leica co-branding for the camera system too.
Keeping the lights on is a 6,000 mAh battery with support for 67W wired charging. Dual speakers are in, as is an X-axis vibration motor. The device runs Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2. It measures 157.05 x 73.2 x 7.45 mm and weighs 184g. There are four colorways: Nebula Purple, Cherry Blossom Pink, Iced Americano, white, and black.

The Civi 5 Pro with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is priced at CNY 2,999 ($416), if you want the same amount of memory but double the storage it’s CNY 3,299 ($458), and for the top of the line model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage you have to pay CNY 3,599 ($499).
While the Chinese Civis don’t usually make it elsewhere, last year we saw the Xiaomi 14 Civi launching in India, and that may happen again, we’ll let you know when we find out more.
