The Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro is highly regarded as a very good all-round phone, offering excellent value for its price, particularly for users seeking a competent and relatively compact device. It features an impressive camera system with upgraded selfie and telephoto lenses, a significantly larger 6,000 mAh battery with 67W fast charging, and surprisingly efficient thermal management for its Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor.

While it does present a few drawbacks, such as EIS jitter in video, the absence of ultrawide autofocus, and a lack of an IP rating or wireless charging, these are considered minor. The reviewer concludes that the phone's strengths considerably outweigh its weaknesses, making it a highly recommendable option.

“I feel for that price Xiaomi seems to have put together a very good phone especially if you are in focused on gaming and want a competent allround phone that doesn't break the bank and it is an all round phone for the most part.”

“That said, I do feel that the pros far outweigh the cons. And if this goes global as the Xiaomi 15 Civvi, it might be one to consider if you are looking for a relatively compact all round phone.”
