Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro is expected to launch as a successor to the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, which was unveiled in China in March with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The succeeding Civi 5 Pro is tipped to get a Snapdragon 8s Elite chipset from Qualcomm, which is yet to be released. Tipsters have suggested several key features and design elements of the purported handset. The price of the phone has now leaked as well. Notably, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro was introduced in India as the Xiaomi 14 Civi in June.
Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro Price (Expected)
Tipster Smart Pikachu noted in a Weibo post that the rumoured Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro may be priced at CNY 3,000 (roughly Rs. 35,000). It is expected to be the first handset with the Snapdragon 8s Elite SoC. It is tipped to get a Leica-backed camera unit.
The post added that the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro is expected to get dual bionic front cameras, a metal middle frame and a glass body. The rear camera island is said to have a round design, placed on the top left of the panel, similar to the existing Civi 4 Pro. Like the predecessor, the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro may arrive in India as the Xiaomi 15 Civi.
