Last month, Xiaomi introduced the Xiaomi 14 series, the company's most expensive phone in India. Now, it is all geared up to introduce the all-new premium 'Civi' series mobile.
Xiaomi released a video teaser on its official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle. In an apparent dig at Apple, it recreated iPad Pro's 'Crush!' ad. It showed a studio room full of neatly stacked musical instruments and stress balls. Unlike Apple, which crushed them under a hydraulic press, Xiaomi stopped it mid-way, left the articles to stay in their place and ended the video with the message "Cinematic Vision Coming Soon".
By highlighting the first two letters of the 'Ci'nematic and 'Vi'sion in red colour (shown below), the company has hinted that it plans to launch the new 'Civi' series phones which are a really popular camera-centric Xiaomi phone in China that are soon headed to India.
