Why did Xiaomi Civi 2 get a big oval cutout like the iPhone 14 Pro? Xiaomi did not want to make any compromises
Hu Xinxin, Xiaomi Product Manager, answered users’ questions about the design of the front panel of the Xiaomi Civi 2 smartphone, which received an oval cutout in the central upper part of the screen.
She stated that there is a simple explanation for this: Xiaomi Civi 2 focuses on image processing. The smartphone will allow users to take incredibly high-quality selfies on the front camera, which is given enough space.
According to her, the two 32-megapixel front cameras of Xiaomi Civi 2 use two identical sensors, just like the eyes. At the same time, Xiaomi did not want to make any compromises in terms of resolution and image quality.
In addition, she added that the main camera is equipped with a Sony IMX766 image sensor, as well as an ED optical glass lens, which provides better image quality around the edges in daytime shooting, higher light transmittance and better noise reduction in night shooting.
In addition to a significant improvement in the hardware of the cameras, Xiaomi Civi 2 is also equipped with the Mi Imaging Brain system, which improves the camera launch speed, shutter speed in all scenarios, including night mode, compared to its predecessors.
The first image of the Xiaomi Civi 2 front panel was published early, the design of which is clearly copied from the iPhone 14 Pro. The latest smartphone Xiaomi Civi 2 with a “little white skirt” has already been ordered by 100,000 people.

The regular iPhone 15 turned out to be stronger than the vaunted titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max. At least JerryRigEverything’s junior model passed the bending test

A few days ago, the iPhone 15 Pro Max unexpectedly failed a durability test from the famous blogger JerryRigEverything. Now it’s the turn to try out the new generation of junior iPhones.
If we get straight to the point, both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus passed the bending test without any problems, like many generations of Apple smartphones before. For the iPhone 15 Pro Max, we recall that when force was applied, the back glass burst, which may be due to the greater strength of the titanium frame.
At the same time, the iPhone 15, like the older model, received the same unusually hard protective glass on the front. The material, with a hardness rating of 6 on the Mohs scale, leaves virtually no marks on it, something no other mainstream smartphone can offer, and it is not yet known how Apple achieved this.
