Xiaomi has just announced one of its most interesting devices of 2023. The company has accustomed us to powerful hardware and a noteworthy quality/price ratio. Today adds an important detail to these sections: a splendid design and that stands out from the rest of the options. The new xiaomi civi 3 focuses on offering the best experience and a unique, beautiful and very elegant design. Many already consider it the most beautiful Xiaomi of the year. But is it worth it?
Xiaomi Civi 3, a mid-range with high-end air
The Civi 3 has just been presented in China to complete the catalog of mid-range from Xiaomi. The terminal focuses its efforts on offering a very nice design, well-chosen pastel colors and hardware to match. It is a mid-range, but visually we could be perfectly faced with a high-end.
Xiaomi has chosen metal and glass for the materials of the device. Every detail is taken care of and it shows that they have put a lot of work into making an elegant design with details. The camera module, the edges of the terminal, the double tone or the detail of the LED flash make it clear that it is a device for all those who like to have a well made smartphone and carry it without a case.
The interior is also interesting, as it has very current hardware that has established itself as one of the best combinations of the current mid-range. Your processor is a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultra, a chip launched recently and that is the best that a mid-range can mount today.
The performance is added up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 3.1 storage. Few applications or games will resist this device. The figures of the bencharmks could consider it as one of the most powerful on the market.
Its screen is not far behind: it is a panel 6.55-inch OLED in FullHD+ resolution with a rate of 120hz in the picture and 240hz on the touch. It has a maximum brightness of 1,500 nits, DCI-P3 protocol, and HDR10+. Again, we could be facing the best screen in the current mid-range.
The battery is 4,500mAh and has a fast charge 67W. This ensures, according to the brand, that the device can be recharged from 0 to 100% in just 38 minutes. In addition, it has a new cooling system that allows it to maintain constant and low temperatures during charging.
If you like the photos we also have good news. The camera is triple and has a main sensor IMX800 50 MP equipped with OIS. The secondary sensor offers wide-angle technology with 8 MP and there is room for a 2 MP macro sensor.
Irresistible price and questionable availability
There is still one more thing that is very good before moving on to the “bad” news. This device is incredibly attractively priced. It usually happens when we take a look at the sales catalogs in China, since the currency exchange leaves them with highly desired figures in other countries.
- Xiaomi Civi 3 – 12+256 GB – 355 euros/dollars
- Xiaomi Civi 3 – 12+512 GB – 382 euros/dollars
- Xiaomi Civi 3 – 16GB+1TB – 424 euros/dollars
The bad news is that the terminal has been announced in China and may not reach other markets. With other models we usually see names for the international market, but Xiaomi does not usually do this with the Civi series. We will have to wait to find out if this Civi reaches the rest of the world and, if it does, under what series and name. What do you think? Is it the Xiaomi that you would choose?
