According to recent leaks, Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is currently working on releasing the Civi 4 exclusively for the Chinese market along with other smartphones for a global audience.
Display
The smartphone mentioned most recent leak by the tipster Digital Chat Station features a curved 2.7D display with a slight micro curvature that is far from pronounced. The handset also portrays a two punch-hole design indicating that there is a possibility of two front-facing cameras. The tipster went on to add that the smartphone will have a metal middle frame and the screen will support a 1.5K resolution.
The earlier Civi smartphones, Xiaomi Civi 2 and Civi 3, had a similar styling with a curved-edge AMOLED display as well as two front-facing shooters. This indicates that the smartphone highlighted in the leak is most probably the Xiaomi Civi 4.
Snapdragon 8-Series Chipset
The Xiaomi Civi 4 is slated to have a huge upgrade over its predecessor in terms of performance because of the chipset used. The Civi 3 carried a Dimensity 8200 chipset under the hood. Going by this trend, the earlier reports of the Xiaomi Civi 4 stated that the smartphone will be equipped with a Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset.
There was also another report claiming that the device would feature the upcoming Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC. The most recent leak that surfaced sometime back claims that the tipster found an engineering prototype of the device with a Snapdragon 8 series chip.
The latest information about the Xiaomi Civi 4 does not mention anything about the launch date. If earlier reports are anything to go by, the launch can happen around March this year at the earliest.
