Xiaomi Civi 1S was launched in China on Thursday, April 21. The Civi 1S is a follow-up to the original Civi launched last year as the first smartphone under Xiaomi’s rebranded Mi CC line-up. The Civi, while extremely premium looking, also looked oddly like something that Vivo would make. The Civi 1S doesn’t look like it’s trying to change that, either. Not a lot has changed from a spec perspective, too, except for the chip and software.
Like the Civi, the Civi 1S is also extremely slim and light. It weighs only 166g.
Xiaomi Civi 1S specs, features
Speaking of specs, the Xiaomi Civi 1S comes with a 6.55-inch curved OLED display with a 1080p resolution and fast 120Hz refresh rate. It can peak 950 nits and supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision standards.
