On the evening of June 27, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition was officially released. This is the third Disney Limited Edition mobile phone launched by Xiaomi. Prior to this, Xiaomi cooperated with Disney to launch two products based on Civi 3 mobile phone, “Disney 100th Anniversary Limited Edition” and “Disney Strawberry Bear Limited Edition”.
This time, Xiaomi chose Disney's classic IP – Snow White, and cleverly integrated classic elements from the Snow White story, such as the poisoned apple and magic mirror, into the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, creating a product that is both unique and full of fairy-tale feelings.

1. Design
The story of “Snow White” is well-known to everyone, and when you hold the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition phone in your hand, you will naturally think of that fantasy fairy tale world, because the design elements in it are so rich.
For example, there is a magic mirror “embedded” on the back of the phone. This magic mirror is itself a physical mirror with a reflectivity of over 80%. You can use it to check your appearance and touch up your makeup in daily life.

At the top of the “magic mirror”, there is a stabbed heart. Under the magic mirror, a blazing flame symbolizes the mysterious power of summoning the magic mirror. Around the magic mirror, there are entrenched venomous snake patterns. At the bottom of the body, there is a matte-designed poison apple. On the upper right side of the camera, there is also a delicate queen's crown cleverly inlaid.
These details perfectly echo the classic elements in the story.
On the lens module, the limited edition DECO metal decorative ring has changed from a sun pattern to a Paris stud pattern, which complements the “starry sky top” lens glass cover.
Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition uses magical purple as the main color. The back panel is made of glass, and the pattern around the magic mirror uses the “platinum streamer relief” process. For example, the Roman English letters “Mirror Mirror” use three different textures to present three-dimensional light and shadow.
In addition, the magic mirror part of the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition adopts a high-gloss design, while the rest is frosted. When you slide your finger on the back panel of the fuselage, there will be a very obvious tactile contrast.
It must be admitted that as a limited edition mobile phone, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition is very thoughtful in its design this time. For Disney fans, such a limited edition product can bring irreplaceable emotional value.
In addition to the mobile phone, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition also has an exclusive mystery gift box packaging. Accessories include a magnetic phone case and phone holder, as well as stickers, card pins, etc., as well as a magnetic phone holder in the shape of a poisonous apple, which can be used with the phone case in the gift box.
These accessories are deeply customized to tell the story of the magic mirror.
After talking about the limited design, let’s talk about the light and thin feel of Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro. If you have been accustomed to those mobile phones that weigh more than 200g for a long time, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, which is as light as 179.3g and as thin as 7.45mm, is like a breath of fresh air. This long-lost sense of lightness will instantly evoke your memories of the dexterity of early smartphones.
What makes Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro feel good is the “full-depth micro-curved screen” of the same high-end flagship model. The four micro-curves on the front and back bring a pebble-like round and silky feel.
More importantly, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro has also upgraded the metal middle frame. The high-end touch brought by the metal middle frame cannot be matched or surpassed by any plastic middle frame.
After this combination of punches, the feel of Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is quite amazing.
Back to the front, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro uses a “full-depth micro-curved screen”. The four sides and corners of the screen are curved with the same depth, and the border width is only 1.45mm, just like a cup full of water, full but not overflowing.
In terms of parameters, this screen uses a 6.55-inch 2750×1236 resolution professional primary color screen, Huaxing Optoelectronics' new generation C8 luminous material, and Corning Gorilla Victus2 glass protection.
In terms of screen parameters, it has an ultra-high peak brightness of 3000nit, supports 120Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and 12bit color depth. Among the products of the same level, the multi-dimensional experience of brightness, color, eye protection, etc. is also in the first echelon.
Other details include that Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro supports stereo dual speakers, uses under-screen fingerprint, supports multi-function NFC, multi-function infrared remote control, is equipped with a linear motor, etc. These peripheral configurations are also available.
2. Deeply customize the theme
Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition also has deeply customized system UI, providing two sets of themes: “Princess & Queen”, which are adapted to light mode and dark mode respectively.
During the day, the Snow White light theme is used, while at night, the Evil Queen dark theme is used. Both themes include customized wallpapers, time display, status display, boot animation, charging animation, fingerprint animation, etc., full of details.
For example, in the Snow White light theme, the battery is a symbol of a poisoned apple, and as the battery level decreases, the poisoned apple gradually changes into different states.
For example, when you swipe back, there will be a green poison apple icon.
For example, when you wake up Xiao Ai, and say “Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful person in the world?” the system will automatically open the front camera to take a photo.
Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition also brings customized album watermarks, photo frames, styles, etc. The customized album watermarks provide two versions: Snow White and Queen.
In the album, click Create >> Watermark Frame >> Disney Watermark, and you can also add customized Disney-style frames to your photos, which are a bit like your childhood photo booth and are very much in line with the aesthetics of today's Y2K young people.
3. Image Experience
In terms of configuration specifications, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition is consistent with the Civi 4 Pro Standard Edition, so for the imaging part and performance testing, please refer to the Civi 4 Pro in-depth evaluation previously done by Gamingdeputy.
Specifically, as a Pro-level Xiaomi Civi product, the Civi 4 Pro is equipped with Leica professional triple-camera for the first time.
It includes a 50MP main camera (LightHunter 800, 1/1.55″, OIS, f/1.63), a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera (OV13B10, f/2.2), and a 50MP portrait telephoto lens (Samsung S5KJN1, f/1.98). It uses a Leica Summilux lens and supports Leica native dual image quality, Leica filters, master lens packages, etc.
The Civi series also features front-facing imaging, with a 32MP main camera (Samsung GD2, f/2.0, 78°) + 32MP ultra-wide-angle camera (Samsung GD2, f/2.4, 100°), and a multi-color temperature quad soft light. The two front-facing lenses provide a total of four zoom points: 0.6x, 0.8x, 1x, and 2x.

In terms of algorithms, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is also equipped with “Xiaomi AISP”. When the flagship Leica image is decentralized, the sample performance of Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro obviously has a layer of “German flavor”, especially in some scenes with strong contrast between light and dark, the “tone” created by Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is very obvious, and the light and shadow are natural and three-dimensional. In most scenes, it can be comparable to the main camera performance of Xiaomi 14.
In addition, the addition of the 5000 portrait lens has significantly upgraded the telephoto shooting experience of Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro. It is a pity that the previous generation of products lacked a telephoto lens. After all, telephoto is often the most commonly used focal length in daily shooting by users, and it is also the most photogenic focal length.
On the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, the 50-megapixel 2X independent portrait lens brings a very gratifying resolution performance. Even at 4x (100mm), the picture can still retain a lot of details, and in some slightly darker environments, it can also guarantee a good film success rate.

4. Performance Measurement
In terms of performance, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is the world's first third-generation Snapdragon 8s flagship platform, with standard LPDDR5X memory, UFS 4.0 flash memory, and a 4184mm² ultra-large ring cold pump. In addition, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is also equipped with Xiaomi's self-developed Surge T1 signal enhancement chip, built-in 4700mAh battery, DOU battery life of 1.4 days, support 67W fast charging, and 100% charging in 40 minutes.
The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro running points are as follows:
Simply put, the third-generation Snapdragon 8s flagship platform continues the performance of the flagship platform. There is still a certain gap with Snapdragon 8 Gen3, but it can also be regarded as “flagship level” and its overall performance is close to Snapdragon 8 Gen2.
In the next game testing phase, Gamingdeputy also took one step forward and chose the highest difficulty “Genshin Impact” game for actual testing.
In the game “Genshin Impact”, Gamingdeputy chose the same picture quality standard as the flagship phone: high-end picture quality + 60 frames, motion blur turned off.
As shown in the figure below, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro achieved an average frame rate of 58.97 in the game “Genshin Impact”. The frame rate fluctuation during the game was not obvious. The machine did not reduce the frequency during long-term gaming, ensuring a stable game frame rate output. Obviously, the third-generation Snapdragon 8s, which comes from the same school, is still online.
In terms of power consumption, Gamingdeputy also conducted a simple test and found that the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro consumed about 4.5W in the game “Genshin Impact”, which is within expectations.
Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro has a 4184m2 ring-shaped cold pump cooling area. After 30 minutes of “Genshin Impact”, the maximum temperature of the front and back of Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro was only over 40°C. Considering the test environment and such a thin and light body, this performance is satisfactory.
Final Thoughts
After releasing three Disney Princess limited edition mobile phones, no one understands “limited edition” better than Xiaomi. If there really is a magic mirror at this time, then when you ask “Who is the best Disney customized phone”, the answer must be Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Disney Princess Limited Edition.
From the magic mirror to the poisoned apple, from Snow White to the stepmother queen, Xiaomi has deeply customized the most classic IP elements of “Disney's First Princess” from the inside out, creating a product with a fairy-tale feeling for consumers.
As for the product itself, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is one of the few products in the same price range that takes into account the three aspects of image quality, thinness and performance. It is not only comparable to flagship phones in terms of performance, but also has a full range of experiences such as design, materials, image quality, screen and even AI, all of which are comparable to flagship phones. The “Pro-level” experience it brings is also from the inside out. In this price range, there are products with better performance than Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, but the feel is far inferior to Civi 4 Pro. There may also be some products that are thinner and lighter than Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, but their performance and image quality are definitely not as good as Civi 4 Pro.
Such a product seems difficult for consumers to refuse.
