  • Xiaomi has launched a coffee-scented smartphone in China.
  • The Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro Iced Americano variant also has a vegan leather rear cover that includes coffee grounds.
  • The phone is a China-only device for now and it starts at ~$416.

We recently heard about a scented Infinix smartphone, but what if you want your phone to smell like coffee instead? Well, aside from just spilling coffee on your phone, you can buy this new Xiaomi handset.

Xiaomi announced the Civi 5 Pro smartphone in China yesterday (May 22), and the company is offering an “Iced Americano” variant that actually smells like coffee. The brand specifically notes that it’s a “light” aroma, just in case you’re worried about an overpowering smell.
