Xiaomi 14 SE is expected to launch in India in June; It is said to be a rebranded Civi 4 Pro

Putting its best foot forward, Xiaomi launched not one but two of its latest flagship smartphones in India recently. The brand announced the premium Xiaomi 14 and also its Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which is a high-end camera-centric phone. Both the smartphones also have Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoCs and pack the latest camera hardware. Now, however, it looks like Xiaomi isn’t done with its premium smartphone launches just yet, as a whistleblower has leaked information about yet another premium smartphone offering from the Chinese brand.

Branded as the Xiaomi 14 SE, the phone could be slotted below Xiaomi’s current premium offerings in India. The information comes from advisor Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd), who in a post on X has indicated that this upcoming smartphone from Xiaomi may be called the Xiaomi 14 SE, but also states that there are no further details (in terms of specifications) about it. He then goes on to claim that this device will be launched in India in June 2024 and could be a rebranded version of the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro.

Earlier we reported that Xiaomi might launch its Civi 4 Pro in India as the Xiaomi 14 Civi. Apart from the above information and the new source, there is no other evidence that this phone even exists, so we ask our readers to take this information with a grain of salt.

As for the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, we know it exists since it was launched in the month of March in China. The phone was one of the first devices to get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, but it has a design language that is very different from Xiaomi’s premium numbered series of devices, which currently in India includes the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

The Civi 4 Pro has a 6.55-inch full-HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz screen refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. This display is rated to deliver up to 3000 nits of peak brightness. The phone has two front-facing 32-megapixel cameras and three Leica-branded rear cameras. It has a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 120-degree field of view.

Xiaomi’s Civi 4 Pro is powered by a 4700mAh battery and only supports 67W wired charging. As for the software, it runs Xiaomi’s new HyperOS software out of the box, which is based on Android 14. The phone comes in two 12GB RAM storage options, which are priced at CNY 2,999 (roughly Rs. 35,000). The handset went on sale in China on March 26, 2024.
