Summary
- The alcatel Flash (2017) features a larger 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, while the Xiaomi Mi 4 LTE has a 5.0-inch display with the same resolution but a higher pixel density of ~441 ppi.
- In terms of performance, the Flash is powered by a deca-core Mediatek MT6797 Helio X20 chipset, compared to the Mi 4's quad-core Snapdragon 801, which may offer better multitasking capabilities.
- Both devices have a 13 MP rear camera, but the Mi 4 has a wider aperture of f/1.8, potentially improving low-light performance, and features an 8 MP selfie camera, unlike the Flash.
- The Flash has a slightly larger 3100 mAh battery versus the Mi 4's 3080 mAh, but the Mi 4 supports faster 18W charging.
- Software-wise, the Flash runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, while the Mi 4 operates on an older Android 4.4.3 KitKat with MIUI 5, which may affect user experience and app compatibility.
