According to prominent tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is developing a compact smartphone featuring the Snapdragon 8s Elite processor. The details point towards this device being the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro.
Dual Front Cameras and Leica Branding
Digital Chat Station's report mentions a dual front-facing camera and "image co-branding." This strongly suggests the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro, as the Civi series is known for its dual front cameras, and the Civi 4 Pro featured Leica lenses. The Civi 5 Pro is also expected to have Leica-branded rear cameras.
Small Screen and High Resolution
The leaker also indicates a relatively small screen size, potentially around 6.36 inches or less, compared to the Civi 4 Pro's 6.55-inch display. Despite its compact size, it's rumored to boast a 1.5K resolution and a unique equidistant quad-curved design.
Global Release
There's no official release date, but if it is indeed the Civi 5 Pro, it may launch globally as the Xiaomi 15 Civi.
