I. Introduction
In September last year, Xiaomi’s new product line Civi was unveiled, taking over the CC series and targeting the female market.
In fact, Xiaomi has launched similar products many times before, such as the youth version of the digital series that focuses on selfies and looks, but the effect did not meet expectations, so it simply set up a separate product line and absorbed the team to build it.
It is true that the CC series launched by Xiaomi has a clear positioning, and there is no shortage of self-portraits, but at first I was not optimistic because there are too many geeks, performance, and parameter stacking shadows on Xiaomi.
For example, CC9 Pro debuted with 100 million pixels, which is very strong, and there are still new machines to carry, but for most female users, what is 100 million pixels? Is it high? Is the selfie clear? Direct questions are taken away.
After the CC series, Xiaomi can be said to be “renovated”. After two years, it brought the Civi series targeting women again. This time it can be said to be a precise strike. The appearance, selfie, lightness and thinness are all online, and it is even called the most beautiful Xiaomi mobile phone. .
Sure enough, Xiaomi Civi is quite successful, with excellent industry reviews, and it proves that a straight-man-oriented mobile phone brand like Xiaomi is fully capable of making mobile phones that are biased towards women. Before the major version iterative update, Xiaomi launched the Civi 1S. It can be seen that the machine is a small upgrade.
2. Performance
In terms of configuration, Xiaomi Civi 1S is equipped with the Snapdragon 778G Plus processor, the CPU single-core performance is increased by 4%, and the GPU performance is increased by 7%. Overall, it should be a high-frequency version of the Snapdragon 778G, equipped with LPDDR4X memory + UFS 2.2 flash memory, and at the same time It has built-in MIUI smart cleaning master, which can accurately compile and optimize rare applications.
After the actual test, the Mobile Update score of Xiaomi Civi 1S is 546078. Referring to the latest Android mobile phone performance list, this score can be ranked in the top two, but it should be noted that the performance list is the average score. After follow-up statistics, it will be on the list. The top ten is definitely fine.
At the same time, the machine is the first to launch MIUI Smart Cleaner, which can achieve precise compilation and optimization. For example, apps that are not commonly used can be automatically stored, and the cache can be cleaned intelligently, such as the cache generated by brushing videos and listening to music, and the Smart Cleaner can clean in the background. Nu Skin, continuous use for three years, the read and write performance degradation is less than 1%, and it has passed the 36-month anti-aging certification of Thiel Labs.
3. Appearance
Mi Civi 1S offers four colors: Miracle Sunshine/Shiny Black/Light Blue/Pumping Pink, among which Miracle Sunshine is a new color, and this one in my hand is Miracle Sunshine.

The front of the Mi Civi 1S is a centered hole-digging screen with a hyperboloid shape. Compared with the straight screen, the biggest advantage is the appearance. Whether it is an off screen or a bright screen, the curved screen looks better, and this screen looks quite good, especially In terms of display, 10bit makes the color more intense.
The lower frame adopts the second-generation COP packaging technology. The reduction of the bending radius reduces the height by 9%, the height of the bottom wiring area is reduced by 16%, and the chin is only 2.55mm, which should belong to the narrowest lower frame of Xiaomi.

In terms of parameters, Xiaomi Civi 1S uses a 6.55-inch hyperbolic flexible AMOLED screen, which is supplied by Huaxing Optoelectronics, with a resolution of 2400×1080, supports 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and primary color screen JNCD≈0.32, dE≈0.36, pass HDR10+ certified.

One thing to say, when I got my hands on the Xiaomi Civi 1S, I was amazed by its texture. The body is thin and delicate, with a weight of 166g and a thickness of 6.98mm. I personally think the workmanship is better than the Xiaomi flagship. Experience it at home.

The back cover is made of glossy glass. Although it is easy to be stained with fingerprints, the appearance is really exciting for straight men. The transparent glass is covered with dense flash diamond texture. The highlights like a beam of sunlight are scattered on the back cover. I have to say that the appearance is really good.
It is reported that the rear cover of the new machine is processed by frosting the diaphragm, and then superimposed with CD radiation pattern, forming an excellent light and shadow effect from the camera as the origin, showing an excellent light and shadow effect, and the glass material is treated with colorful light and shadow plating, with the light and shadow change, so that it has a rainbow-like light.

In my impression, the texture of Xiaomi mobile phones is not the main advantage, but after starting the Civi 1S, this concept has been changed. The 6.98mm slim body is still a metal frame, 166g weight, and exquisite workmanship. If it is only about the appearance and the The texture, I would like to call it the pinnacle of Xiaomi phones.
Fourth, take pictures
As a mobile phone that is biased towards female users, Xiaomi Civi 1S is the most important part of Xiaomi Civi 1S in addition to its appearance, especially the Selfie ability, which is a higher priority than performance.
Let’s first look at the lens parameters. The rear of the machine is 64 million pixels (GW3 main camera) + 8 million pixels ultra-wide angle + 2 million pixels macro triple camera, and the front is a 32 million pixel selfie lens, which is consistent with the Civi parameters.
Then there is the optimization of the software, which is the most important. In addition to the continuation of the previous GAN pixel-level skin rejuvenation technology, it also brings 4D light chasing rejuvenation beauty technology, which includes a total of six makeup effects. Let’s take a look at the selfie proofs first.

I just said that Civi 1S has 4D light chasing and beauty makeup technology. The so-called 4D light chasing is actually a three-dimensional makeup with light and shadow flowing through the high-precision face mesh reconstruction technology based on deep learning. Information scanning, building 56,000+ faces and 29,000+ points, high-precision face modeling, so that makeup can follow in real time and highly fit.
According to this function, Xiaomi Civi 1S can process eyelashes and lip gloss, among which the lip gloss has a streamer effect, and even uses the PBR real-time rendering technology that is only applied in games, which can follow the light and shadow to change the angle in real time, thereby enhancing the realism of the makeup look.
In addition, the human eye tracking ability of the Xiaomi Mi 12 series CyberFocus is decentralized, and the eyes of the people are recognized during the photographing process to achieve close focus.

For selfies, what makes a good photo, clear enough? Real enough? Color reproduction, rich detail, noise control? No, the development of smartphone images is not only about parameters. It must be admitted that AI optimization is the most important item of mobile phones in addition to hardware. For mobile phones that are biased towards female users, the best photo effect is to take a photo. , the image is real and beautiful.
The selfie effect of Xiaomi Civi 1S is very delicate. Thanks to the resolution of 32 million pixels, the skin quality gets more details, and the supplementary algorithm is optimized to get clean and flawless skin, but you must know that there are many beauty camera software now. Compared with these, what is the advantage of Civi 1S?
Through a simple comparison, it is concluded that the Selfie beauty of Xiaomi Civi 1S tends to be true. Many beauty software have a feeling of excessive force, and the smear is particularly serious, so it looks fake, such as big eyes, silicone microdermabrasion, etc., The Civi 1S based on various algorithms and a 32-megapixel lens can be seen to be more realistic in the proofs, which is also the direction of most of the main selfie phones at present – real beauty.
V. Summary
If you pursue appearance, texture and selfie, then Xiaomi Civi 1S is definitely a flagship performance, especially in terms of appearance, Miracle Sunshine color matching is very good, texture is better than some flagships, selfie ability introduces 4D light chasing beauty technology, The real beauty effect is one of the few Xiaomi mobile phones that makes the young lady excited.
Of course, under these premise, performance is not put in the first place. According to Xiaomi’s consistent style, such as digital series and MIX series, it is definitely the core configuration stacking arrangement, but for most female users, these parameters are not as good as A good selfie is important.
Therefore, the Civi series is not aimed at users who pay attention to performance at all, so it is reasonable to carry the Snapdragon 778G Plus, but I personally think that if it is equipped with the Snapdragon 870 or the Dimensity 8100, the sales of the machine will definitely go further.
Xiaomi Civi 1S is a model that is almost full of appearance, texture and selfie under the premise of stable performance, especially the shape design, which lives up to the name of the most beautiful Xiaomi phone, which also means that the series successfully started on this track. , If there is no large rollover, then the future of the Civi series will definitely become the most important product line of Xiaomi mobile phones.
