The Xiaomi
Mi4 spec-wise isn’t *that* different from the
Mi3, but the build quality is miles apart. Firstly, the phone looks like an iPhone 5 from many angles, but it also maintains an iPhone-like build quality, thanks to the stainless steel band that wraps the phone. Then there are the chamfered edges. Another good thing about the Mi4 is that the phone is physically smaller than the
Mi3, therefore making it easier to hold. The
Xiaomi Mi4 has a 5 inch display with a 1920x1080 resolution with a pixel density of 441PPI. The device has a 13 megapixel primary camera which has a focus time of 0.3 seconds, this ensures that you get well focused images even in burst mode. The camera is capable of shooting in 4K resolution and has dual LED flash. The front facing camera is an 8 megapixel wide angle sensor, this should help clicking group selfies.
The processor on the phone is a
Quad-Core Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.5 Ghz with the
Adreno 330 GPU handling the graphics department. The processor and graphic chip combo is the best combo currently in the market.
To make sure nothing holds the phone back, it has 3GB of RAM onboard. The device runs
MIUI on top of Android 4.4.3 Kitkat.
The
Mi4 has changeable back covers and there are lots of textures including wood, fabric etc. to choose from. The battery is non-removable with a adequate capacity of 3080 mAh.
Xiaomi Mi4 flaunts 5.0-inch full HD display and runs on the Android 4.4 KitKat OS, 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 series quad-core CPU, 3GB RAM and 16/64GB inbuilt memory.
