First smartphone with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is now official

The very first smartphone with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor is now official. The device in question is called the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, and it was announced in China.

As you can see in the provided images, the device has flat sides and a flat display. There is a circular camera island on the back, in the top-left corner. Three cameras sit in there, and that module does protrude on the back.

The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is the very first smartphone fueled by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3

You will notice a pill-shaped camera cutout on the front. That cutout is centered, and the bezels around the display are very thin. The phone’s backplate is flat, though it curves towards the frame on the edges.

The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro features a 6.55-inch 2750 x 1236 OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its peak brightness is at 3,000 nits, and it supports HDR10+ content and Dolby Vision. 2,160Hz PWM dimming is also a part of the package.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 fuels it, of course. Xiaomi included 12GB/16GB of LPDDR5X RAM here, and 256GB/512GB of UFS 4.0 flash storage. HyperOS comes pre-installed, while there are two nano SIM card slots included here too.

It supports 67W charging, and features an IR blaster at the top

A 4,700mAh battery sits inside the phone, and 67W wired charging is supported. The phone has an in-display fingerprint scanner, an optical one. An IR blaster sits at the very top of the phone.

A 50-megapixel main camera (Light Fusion 800 sensor, f/1.63 aperture, Hyper OIS, Leica Summilux lens) is backed by a 12-megapixel ultrawide unit (120-degree FoV, f/2.2 aperture, OmniVision OV13B10 sensor), and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera (2x optical zoom, f/1.98 aperture, OIS, Samsung JN1 sensor).

On the front, you’ll find a 32-megapixel main camera and a 32-megapixel secondary unit. One of them uses an OmniVision sensor, and the other a sensor from Samsung’s ISOCELL. The viewing angles are 78 degrees and 100 degrees, respectively.

It supports Bluetooth 5.4 and comes in four colors

The company did include a set of stereo speakers here, and Dolby Atmos support as well. Bluetooth 5.4 is supported, as is 5G connectivity.

The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro comes in Sprpint Wild Green, Soft Mist Pink, Breeze Blue, and Starry Black colors. You can check them all out below. The pricing starts at CNY2,999 ($416) in China. Chances are that this phone will stay exclusive to China.
