Xiaomi Mi 4i: High End Features, Mid Range Price

Xiaomi has released the Mi 4i, a more affordable alternative to the Mi 4 that’s packed with high end features.

  • china ka maal … Qmobile also has high end specs and low price, and it works just like any other china ka maal

    • Your shitty re-branded ‘Qmobile’ handsets lack the originality which Xiaomi possesses in all their handsets. Your myopic brain lacks the foresight to differentiate between a multinational company such as ‘Xiaomi’ and a local company such as ‘Qmobile’. Do you know how successful Xiaomi is? It has replaced Samsung in various markets as the next best smartphone brand. Next time do your homework before you come here and ramble shit.

      • Only benchmark I have for brands is how well their low spec, low price phones work. You almost always get good stuff with the higher prices. Put more money and you will get good out of Samsung and QMobile. Samsung, QMobile and Oppo phones are shit. They don’t even run smooth on factory setup. Huawei and Motorolla work fine though.

  • The Xiaomi Mi4i doesn’t have a memory card slot! Please correct the error.

  • good reply there my man!
    LIFEH20 Deserved it!

      • I bought it from china, for 1999RMB , its about 35k in our currency, but now I think its the price is reduced a bit
