It appears that the Xiaomi Civi 2 will eventually be available in all markets. As is customary for Xiaomi, the Civi 2 will be rebranded as the 12 Lite 5G NE globally. Since the Chinese Reno8 Pro had the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 but was not released internationally, this would suggest that the somewhat elusive Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 would finally be available in global markets.
The phone in issue, with the model number 2210129SG, was the subject of the rumor, which was discovered in an FCC listing. The “G” at the end of the model number denotes a global version, and the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE is also confirmed by the IMEI database. Similar to the 11 Lite 5G NE, the 12 Lite 5G NE will come in three different configurations: 6GB/128GB, 8GB/128GB, and 8GB/256GB.
As the China-only Civi 2 is marketed towards selfie enthusiasts, we shouldn’t anticipate any differences between the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE and that device. As a result, you’ll get a 6.55-inch 120hz AMOLED display with a centrally-located punch-hole for two 32-megapixel cameras (one main and one wide-angle).
A 50-megapixel IMX766 primary camera, a 20-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, a 4500mAh battery with support for 67w charging, and MIUI 13 running on Android 12 are further features that are anticipated for the 12 Lite 5G NE.
