Average battery life

The 4,700mAh battery on the Xiaomi 14 Civi is comparatively smaller than most others in its segment. It doesn't perform well in benchmarks and neither is the battery life in real world usage anything to write home about. 

CPU throttles under stress

The Xiaomi 14 Civi is powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC which is extremely powerful, but it comes with throttling issues on the 14 Civi. The CPU throttles all the way down to 40% of its peak performance when under stress. 

Portraits lack sharpness

While cameras are the highlight of the Xiaomi 14 Civi, the portraits captured aren't sharp as the camera tends to smoothen the facial features of the subject.
