Xiaomi CIVI 5 Pro Confirmed Launch this May with 6.55-inch 1.5K 120Hz OLED display, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, 50MP front camera
Updated - Xiaomi has unveiled more details about the upcoming CIVI 5 Pro, which is expected to debut during its 15th anniversary event on May 22. The phone will be available in a Nebula Purple variant, created using a new "Nebula Quicksand" process that employs nano-level etching to embed millions of star-like particles, evoking the look of a flowing galaxy.
Another option, Sakura Pink, is described as fresh and soothing—like holding spring cherry blossoms in your hand. Additionally, classic black and white colour variants will be offered for a more timeless and versatile look. The phone runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and is powered by a 6000mAh battery.
Key features include a 6.55-inch 1.5K OLED micro-curved display with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, up to 3200 nits peak brightness, and a 1.6mm ultra-narrow bottom bezel. The camera setup mirrors that of the Xiaomi 15, featuring a 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP Leica floating telephoto lens with 10cm telemacro capabilities. The front-facing camera is a 50MP unit utilizing Samsung’s first JNP sensor, which includes an ultra-transparent nano-prism, matching pixel size, and offers 25% improved light sensitivity.
Earlier - Xiaomi has officially confirmed that it will launch its next device in its CIVI series, the CIVI 5 Pro in China later this month. Positioned as the successor to last year’s CIVI 4 Pro, the teaser highlights a sleek design with a metal frame and four color options.
According to Lu Weibing, Xiaomi's smartphone head, the CIVI 5 Pro is internally codenamed “Little 15.” He noted that while the phone brings significant improvements in imaging, performance, display, and battery life, it still maintains the series’ signature thin, lightweight, and stylish design.
The device features a triple rear camera system. Leaks suggest it includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide lens. Markings on the camera module read "LEICA VARIO-SUMMILUX 1:6.3–2.2/15–60 ASPH," indicating an f/1.63 aperture for the main camera and f/2.2 with a 15mm focal length for the ultra-wide lens. The 60mm focal length implies a 2.2x zoom capability, likely with telephoto macro support. A 50MP front camera is also expected.
A recent Geekbench listing (model number 25067PYE3C) reveals the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM, with a 12GB variant also expected.
Previous leaks mention a 1.5K micro-curved display and a 6000mAh battery—an upgrade from the 4700mAh battery in the CIVI 4 Pro. The device has also received 3C certification, confirming 67W fast charging support.
More details, including the official launch date, are expected to be announced soon.
