Our Take
Both the Vivo V30 Pro and the Xiaomi 14 Civi are smartphones with advanced camera configurations and high-resolution sensors. The Xiaomi 14 Civi boasts a dual front camera arrangement, while the Vivo V30 Pro boasts a larger screen with greater quality. Both smartphones have excellent camera setups with specialised lenses and high-resolution sensors, but the Vivo V30 Pro offers a marginally faster battery life and charging time. The Vivo V30 Pro has an 80W fast charging capacity with a 5,000mAh battery, whilst the 14 Civi has a 4,700mAh battery and only supports 67W charging. The decision between the two devices is based on requirements and personal choice. If price is not a concern, choose the Xiaomi 14 Civi instead because, for a little extra money, you’ll receive a superior chipset, two selfie cameras, and a better software experience.
