Should you buy the Xiaomi 14 Civi?
The Xiaomi 14 Civi is one of the best phones to buy under Rs 50,000 if your primary requirements are great cameras, an impressive display, and a stunning design. It edges out the competition like the OnePlus 12R and iQOO Neo 9 Pro in these departments. But there are a couple of downsides as well, such as an average battery life and performance throttling issues.

In our review, we said that "The Xiaomi 14 Civi stands out with its lightweight and premium glass and leather design language, making it easily one of the best-looking phones in the sub-Rs 50,000 segment. On top of that, you get a stunning display and Leica cameras for those looking for professional-level photography without spending a lot of money. However, the phone's battery life and performance throttling leave you wanting more."
If performance is your main requirement, we suggest you look for alternatives like the iQOO Neo 9 Pro or OnePlus 12R, which are both performance-oriented devices made to handle intensive tasks and gaming.
