Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE set to be the revamped version of Civi 2

The GSMArena website quotes information from China stating that Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE has been spotted in the IMEI database with model number 2210129SG. The suffix 'G' at the end of this number is believed to indicate that the device will be released globally, not just for the domestic market.

The Gizmochina website also mentions that Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE could be a rebranded version of Civi 2, a phone released in the domestic market with model number 2209129SC. This information has been shared by multiple sources and seems highly likely to be true. Therefore, in this article, I will use the known specifications of Civi 2 to supplement the unrevealed information about Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE.

Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE features an exquisite and attractive design

The Civi 2 phones left a lasting impression with their beautiful exterior. Specifically, inheriting the design from its predecessor and the new Xiaomi 12 series, Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE will have a back panel with vibrant colors and appealing color-shifting effects.

Overall, Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE will have a metal frame and both front and back panels made of glass, enhancing the device's sophistication. The phone also features gently curved corners and back, providing a comfortable and ergonomic feel during usage.

Overall, I highly appreciate the design of Civi 2, and if Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE inherits a similar appearance, it will be a significant plus for the device! You can also refer to the hands-on article about Xiaomi Civi 2 to learn more about this device!

Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE boasts powerful specifications with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1

Currently, tech news sources have not provided details about the chip Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE will feature. Nevertheless, based on Xiaomi Civi 2, I predict that the phone will be equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip.

For those who are unfamiliar, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is a mid-range chip manufactured on the 4nm process, with four Cortex-A710 cores at 2.4 GHz and four Cortex-A510 cores. This mobile processor also houses the Adreno 662 GPU, delivering 20% faster performance compared to the previous generation.

According to FCC certification, Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE will come in three configurations: 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. Additionally, the device supports connectivity features such as 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and NFC. The device is likely to come pre-installed with Android 13 featuring the MIUI 13 interface.

This is a small difference with Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE compared to Xiaomi Civi 2, as the domestic version will have two RAM options: 8 GB and 12 GB. Despite a reduction in RAM capacity, I still appreciate the configuration of Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE, as it features a powerful chip along with sufficient RAM and comfortable internal storage for data storage.

According to the leaked information so far, Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE has the following configuration:

• Display: 6.55-inch size, OLED panel, Full HD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate.
• CPU: Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
• RAM: 6 GB or 8 GB.
• Internal Storage: 128 GB or 256 GB.
• Rear Cameras: 50 MP + 20 MP + 2 MP.
• Front Cameras: 32 MP + 32 MP.
• Battery Capacity: 4,500 mAh, supports 67 W fast charging.

Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE is equipped with a rear camera system similar to Civi 2, specifically as follows:

• Main Camera: 50 MP resolution, f/2.0 aperture.
• Wide-angle Camera: 20 MP resolution, 115° field of view.
• Macro Camera: 2 MP resolution.
• Main Front Camera: 32 MP resolution, f/2.0 aperture.
• Wide-angle Front Camera: 32 MP resolution, 100° field of view.

Civi 2's camera system is highly praised in its segment, and if Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE indeed has these specifications, we can be completely confident in the device's photo quality! Photos from Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE's camera promise excellent detail, combining advanced AI technology to deliver true-to-life colors and enhanced depth.

To power Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE, Xiaomi will equip the device with a 4,500 mAh battery. While not exceptionally large, it is sufficient to meet your daily needs for basic tasks throughout the day.

Combined with 67 W fast charging, I believe concerns about interrupted usage will no longer be an issue for you.

How much is Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE? When will Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE be released?

Currently, there is no information on the pricing of Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE, but I predict the price won't differ significantly from Civi 2. The estimated figure I provide will be around 6.9 million VND for the 6 GB RAM, 128 GB internal storage variant. With information appearing in the IMEI database and various certifications, the release date of Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE is likely to be imminent.
