Last year Xiaomi brought the Civi line into India with the Xiaomi 14 Civi, an upper-midrange smartphone that aimed to capture some of the magic of the Chinese Civi series, paired with a Leica-branded camera experience. How successful it was in doing that isn’t clear, but if you’ve anxiously been waiting for its successor, we have some bad news.
A new report claims the Xiaomi 15 Civi has been canceled. No reason is given, but obviously lackluster sales of the 14 Civi may be to blame. That model is in fact now heavily discounted.

The Xiaomi 15 Civi was in fact in active development before it got the axe. It was to feature a 6.55-inch “1.5K” resolution screen with micro-curves on all four sides, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 3,200-nit peak brightness. It was going to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
The Leica camera branding would have returned, with a 50 MP main shooter, a 12 MP ultrawide, a 50 MP telephoto, and a 50 MP selfie snapper. Keeping the lights on was supposed to be a 6,000 mAh battery with support for 67W wired charging. What do you think about this decision? Let us know in the comments.
