Back in October, a report claimed that Xiaomi had no plans to launch the Xiaomi Civi 6, casting doubt over the future of the series. Since then, information has been scarce. But now, new leaks coming out of China suggest the device is very much alive.

Two well-known Chinese tipsters — Smart Pikachu and Digital Chat Station — shared fresh posts on Weibo that points to the Xiaomi Civi 6. Digital Chat Station hinted at an upcoming phone equipped with a dedicated AI key. 

While the post didn’t explicitly mention the Civi branding, online discussions quickly connected the dots. Around the same time, Smart Pikachu resurfaced an older message he had written months ago and clarified that it was about the Civi 6.

Xiaomi Civi 6 Expected Specifications

Meanwhile, another leak making rounds on Weibo shares the possible specs of Xiaomi Civi 6. 

The phone is said to feature a 200-megapixel main camera, paired with a 3x telephoto lens. On the front, there’s reportedly a 50-megapixel autofocus selfie camera. 

The display is rumored to be a 6.59-inch LIPO four-sided curved panel, which suggests slim bezels and a more premium feel. Powering the device could be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Other leaked details include an X-axis linear motor, dual speakers, a metal frame, and a glass back.

Perhaps the most interesting addition is the AI button with remapping functionality. This should allow users to point the button to AI features of their liking. 

Still, there’s a degree of uncertainty. Weibo tipsters often avoid naming specific devices in their posts, which leaves room for interpretation. While the margin of error appears small, nothing is official yet.

Another open question is availability. Previous Civi models, including the Xiaomi Civi 3, were limited to the Chinese market. There’s a possibility that the Civi 6 could also remain China-exclusive. Alternatively, Xiaomi may choose to rebrand it for global markets, potentially as the Xiaomi 17 Civi.
