Short Review
- The Xiaomi Mi 4i features a sleek design with dimensions of 138.1 x 69.6 x 7.8 mm and a lightweight build at 130g, utilizing Gorilla Glass on the front and a plastic back.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing sharp visuals at approximately 441 ppi.
- Performance is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU and Adreno 405 GPU, paired with options of 16GB or 32GB storage and 2GB RAM.
- The rear camera boasts a 13 MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 3120 mAh, supporting 10W charging, but lacks wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 5.0.2 with MIUI 8.2, the software experience is user-friendly, though it may feel dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in multiple colors, including Dark Gray, Black, White, Yellow, Blue, and Pink.
- Overall, the Mi 4i combines solid performance with a compact design and decent camera capabilities.
- Special features are limited, but it includes a headphone jack for audio connectivity.
