On September 22, Xiaomi released the front photo of Xiaomi Civi 2. Because Apple's iPhone 14 Pro series is physically an "exclamation mark" opening, and it is only made into the shape of a central pill through the UI, the first mobile phone with a central "pill opening" is the Xiaomi Civi 2, which features offline, self taking, and lightweight.

The iPhone 14 Pro series ↑, released half a month ago, uses the "Smart Island" function to cover up the specially shaped "exclamation point" perforated screen, which is nicknamed "carved on shit" by netizens. Everyone is speculating that Huawei or Glory, who was the first to use the pill to open the screen, will follow up as soon as possible, but it is unexpected that Xiaomi is the first.

However, Wei Siqi, the product manager of Xiaomi's mobile phone, replied on his microblog that the hole digging in the middle of Xiaomi's Civi 2 is not a "surprise" (it does not support the "Smart Island" function similar to the iPhone 14 Pro series), but focuses on the image experience.

The hole of Xiaomi Civi 2 has 32 million pixels of front main camera and 32 million pixels of ultra wide angle. It supports auto focus and F2.0 aperture. The black area in the middle of the pill opening may only be left blank. After all, the size of the two sensors is not small. The machine is a micro slit earpiece, and there are symmetrical hidden fill lights on the left and right sides of the upper frame.

The Xiaomi Civi 2, which will be released on September 27, has almost announced its specifications: it is still featured as light and thin, 171.8g heavy, 7.23mm thick, AG glass back cover+plastic middle frame, and its main camera is upgraded to an old friend IMX766 with 50 million pixels. There are Hello Kitty co branded and special "little white skirt" color matching.

According to the previous information, Xiaomi Civi 2 used Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, which was previously used only by OPPO Reno8 Pro in large factories. Although it is a new generation of Snapdragon 778G, Samsung's 4nm technology makes its performance and power consumption not optimistic. The CPU part is a 2.4GHz A710 large core+3x2.36GHz A710 medium core+4x1.8GHz A510 small core. It features a FastConnect 6900 that is stronger than many flagship products and an X62 5G baseband.

For the hole digging screen of Xiaomi Civi 2, the approximate rate is "predicted by Apple". It certainly wasn't designed temporarily after the launch of the iPhone 14 series (half a month's time difference, there was no time for design and production). But in fact, at the beginning of the supply chain, it was reported that the iPhone 14 had adopted "exclamation mark"/centered pills. For screen manufacturers, it was not technically difficult to move the pill openings previously placed on both sides to the middle.

Similar things are happening in the field of charging. Before Apple's launch, the supply chain rumored that the new iPhone would be upgraded to 30W fast charging. A large number of charging head manufacturers were warming up the new 30W charger, but Apple made everyone frustrated.

It has to be said that Xiaomi has taken the flow in place, and the first "follow up" centered pill screen directly ignited the discussion. Whether the public opinion is good or bad, there are offline smart island openings in the same style as the iPhone 14 Pro as propaganda points. As for the energy consumption ratio of Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, which is not optimistic? Facts have proved that people are more concerned about the island of mind movement.
