Summary
- The LG Q6 features a slightly larger 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a higher resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels compared to the Xiaomi Mi 4i's 5.0-inch display at 1080 x 1920 pixels, both offering similar pixel densities.
- In terms of performance, the Q6 is powered by the Snapdragon 435 chipset, while the Mi 4i uses the Snapdragon 615, which has a more complex CPU configuration but may not significantly outperform the Q6 in everyday tasks.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera, but the Mi 4i has a wider aperture of f/2.0, potentially allowing for better low-light performance.
- The Q6 has a 3000 mAh battery, slightly less than the Mi 4i's 3120 mAh, but both lack fast charging capabilities.
- The Q6 runs on Android 7.1.1 with LG's UI, while the Mi 4i operates on an older Android 5.0.2 with MIUI, indicating a more modern software experience on the Q6.
- Build quality is also notable, with the Q6 featuring a Gorilla Glass 3 front and an aluminum frame, while the Mi 4i has a Gorilla Glass front but a plastic frame, making the Q6 potentially more durable.
