Xiaomi does have a special series that comes specifically for selfies. Unlike the Xiaomi 12 Lite, the Xiaomi Civi 2 comes with a completely different design. And brings two front cameras that look similar to Dynamic Island.
Indeed, the Xiaomi Civi 2 is not the first smartphone to carry a dual camera setup for selfies—previously, vendors such as Huawei and Samsung have launched flagships with two front cameras. Only, this time Xiaomi pinned both of them in the middle. Making it look even more similar to the iPhone 14 Pro Series camera, complete with black pixels between the two.
Because it is designed for women, this latest Xiaomi smartphone has a thin and light profile, only 7.23mm and 172 grams, respectively. In addition to the three standard colors (black, pink, blue), the Xiaomi Civi 2 also comes in a special Hello Kitty edition. Then what about the chipset and camera specifications?
