New Xiaomi model spotted on BIS site; It is supposed to be the Xiaomi 14 Lite

Xiaomi 14 Lite may be launched in India soon. The model is said to join the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra phones that were launched in the country earlier this month. The Xiaomi 14 Lite is expected to succeed the Xiaomi 13 Lite. However, the previous model did not see an India launch. The last smartphone with the Lite moniker that the company unveiled in India was the Mi 11 Lite in 2021. But now a new Xiaomi phone has reportedly been spotted on an Indian certification site and it is said to be the Xiaomi 14 Lite.

MySmartPrice report claims that a new Xiaomi smartphone with model number 24053PY09I has been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) certification website. This model may be launched in the country with the nickname Xiaomi 14 Lite. The report adds that this could be a rebranded version of another alleged phone – the Xiaomi Civi 4.

Xiaomi Civi 4 is expected to succeed Xiaomi Mi 3, is expected to launch in China soon. It was recently spotted on the MIIT certification site with model number 24053PY09C. Since the Civi models have been rebranded globally as Lite variants, the Xiaomi Civi 4 could possibly be launched outside of China with minor tweaks, like the Xiaomi 14 Lite.

Xiaomi’s Civi 4 is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC and packs a 5,000mAh battery with 90W wired support for fast charging. The phone is believed to feature a 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate along with a Leica-tuned camera system. As a new version of the Civi 4, the Xiaomi 14 Lite is likely to arrive with similar specifications.

Notably, Xiaomi Civi 3 comes with MediaTek Dimensity 8200 5G SoC, 4500mAh battery with 67W wired fast charging support, 6.55-inch 120Hz full-HD+ OLED display, 50MP triple rear camera system and dual 32-megapixel front cameras.
