In September 2022, Xiaomi launched the Civi 2 with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset. The latest news shows that Xiaomi is actively preparing its successor.
This morning, Digital Chat Station revealed that Xiaomi is about to release the Xiaomi Civi 3 and also disclosed its specifications.
The blogger pointed out that the Xiaomi Civi 3 features a dual-notch screen with full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is worth mentioning that its predecessor also had the exact same resolution and refresh rate.
The Xiaomi Civi 3 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset. This chipset is the latest upper-midrange SoC and a direct competitor to the Snapdragon 7 series.
The Dimensity 8200 is manufactured using a 4nm process. It features four Cortex-A78 high-performance cores (one running at 3.1 GHz and the other three at 3.0 GHz) and four Cortex-A55 energy-efficient cores running at 2.0 GHz. The chipset also comes with 4MB of L3 cache.
The Xiaomi Civi 3 will have dual 32MP front cameras, while the rear will feature a Sony IMX800 sensor (50MP). It is worth mentioning that the Sony IMX800 is a 54MP sensor, so the camera specifications and lens arrangement mentioned by the blogger are basically accurate.
According to some sources, it will feature a triple camera setup (the same as the Xiaomi Civi 2), with the other two lenses likely being an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro lens.
Based on Xiaomi’s previous practices, we expect the phone be released in early Q2 2023 (April).
