Xiaomi Mi 4 Unveiled: Specification And Price Guess

Chinese premium smartphone maker Xiaomi is creating quite a buzz in the Indian smartphone landscape. After the ravishing success of the Mi 3, which sold out within 40 minutes of its release on Flipkart, Xiaomi has now unveiled the Mi 4.

A successor to the Mi 3, the Mi 4 packs in some top notch features that can give its peers a run for their money. Xiaomi claims that Mi has already sold 26.11 million units in the first half of 2014. As we wait for the Mi 4 launch date, here is a look at Mi4’s specifications and best expected price.

In terms of software, the Mi4 demonstrated at the launch event was powered by the company’s current MIUI5, a modified Android OS, but Xiaomi promised that the new MIUI6 is on the way and will be available in August. The new operating system features some localized service, including booking a doctor’s appointment and ordering food.

Pricing-wise, it appears that Xiaomi has established a tradition that it sees no reason to break. The base model of Mi4 is priced at 1999 yuan; if you remember, that is also the price of the first generation Mi phone at its launch four years ago.

Specifications:

Display: 5-inch full-HD 1080×1920 pixels JDI OGS lamination display.

Processor: Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor paced at 2.5GHz

RAM: 3GB of internal RAM.

OS: Android KitKat 4.4 layered with Xiaomi’s soon to launch OS version of MIUI called MIUI 6.

Front Camera: 8-megapixel front-facing camera with Sony’s stacked CMOS sensors.

Rear Camera: 13 MP camera with Sony’s stacked CMOS sensors.

Variants: 16GB and 32GB

Changeable Rear Panels: Wooden and Denim

Price Guess:

Xiaomi retailed the feature packed Mi 3 at a surprisingly cheap price of Rs. 13,999, which eventually became its key to success. But, since the Mi 4 is packed with a faster processor and better display, the best expected price will be somewhere between Rs 19,000 – Rs 23, 000. What is to be noted is that the price will still be a lot cheaper than at what its competitors are selling.
