Xiaomi Civi 6 Leak Teases Bigger Screen and Sharper Camera Skills

Xiaomi’s Civi line has always tried to walk the fine line between sleek design and strong performance. Now, early whispers about the upcoming Civi 6 suggest the company is ready to push things a notch further — without losing the slim, stylish DNA that made the series stand out. The chatter points to a slightly bigger display, refined optics, and a fresh push on telephoto photographyXiaomi

According to leaks, the Civi 6 will sport a 6.6-inch panel, edging past the 6.55-inch display on the last model. It’s not a huge leap, but enough. It can give a touch more screen real estate for video, gaming, or scrolling. All without tipping into “mini-tablet” territory. The trick for Xiaomi will be keeping it comfortable in one hand. That's something the Civi series has managed well so far.

The outgoing Civi 5 Pro already delivered an impressive 1.5K curved display with dual front camera cutouts and a premium look that didn’t feel overbuilt. Expect the new model to stick to that blueprint while refining the visual punch — sharper colors, smoother motion, maybe a brighter peak for outdoor use.

The real buzz is about the cameras. Word is Xiaomi has been testing new sensor modules, with particular attention on telephoto performance. That could mean crisper zoom shots, better low-light results at longer focal lengths, and perhaps a few software tricks to make long-range shooting less of a guessing game.

The Civi 5 Pro’s Leica-tuned triple setup was already solid: a 50MP main sensor with variable aperture and a 60mm telephoto macro lens. If Xiaomi’s engineers are building on that platform, the Civi 6 could become one of the best “slim phone” shooters around — a device that competes with bulkier flagships on image quality.

No word yet on the processor, but it wouldn’t be a shock to see another Snapdragon 8-series chip under the hood. The last Civi ran on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which gave it snappy performance for both heavy multitasking and photo processing.

Other likely carryovers from the Civi 5 Pro? 67W fast charging, a large battery in the 6,000mAh range, and the same efficient cooling tech. That mix made the previous model reliable for all-day use without thermal throttling.

All signs point to the Civi 6 being built for users who want a flagship-style experience without the heft. Bigger screen, better zoom lens, refined design — all wrapped in a thin, lightweight package. If the leaks are accurate, Xiaomi’s next move in the Civi line won’t be about reinventing the phone, but about tightening the screws on a formula that already works.
