Xiaomi Mi 4i review: Hands down

10 June 2015
The Xiaomi Mi 4i was designed to be an affordable semi-flagship, but tries to punch above its weight. The Mi 4i is thinner, lighter and more connected than the original, and lands straight on Android Lollipop...

    hi there
    im from jakarta
    should i purchase
    xiaomi mi4i
    or
    asus zenfone 2 4gb ram 32gb rom

    i like the design of xiaomi
    but not its memory
    but i guess 16gb should be enough

    i dislike the bottom front design of asus
    but like almost all of its specs

    xiaomi mi4 i here cost around
    us$210
    as for asus it s around us$300
    if us$1 is wquivalent to rp13300

    ur opinions will be highly appreciated

            this is one of the worst reviews by GSMARE NA
            when I read a review, I don't want specific specifications. I want the interpretation of what they mean and similarly, the test fomdi findings.
            this is almost like a half baked half hearted review
            .
            the display section,for example, tells us things that my be known either by a look at the spec sheet or simply any tech channel or blog. where is the "Gsm arena " quality to it?

                          I'll get this phone on sunday, then I'll know if I can trust xiaomi on next buy. I daily check up on MIUI forum about Mi 4i heating issue, and they keep providing the software update to improve and stable there first worldwide release phone. Xiaomi release this phone in India, Malaysia Indonesia and Singapore. They might be release the Mi4i's source code and it will be a bang.

                                Actual version of android is kitkat but they have created a marketing gimmik as it has lollipop . why not they tell that it has kitkat. Not Good on Xiaomi side..

                                    I don't know why you would want to buy this phone when the Original Mi4 is a similar price from resellers which is way better.

                                      to gsmarena, snapdragon 615 isnt a real 8-core processor unlike some mediatek processors, its 2 quad cores. 4 higher clocked cores are the main ones, lower clocked ones are to save battery or maybe reduce overheating. when running benchmarks only 4 of the higher clocked ones are running not like mt6752 with 8 of them running. so its benchmark results are not dissapointing for an 8 core processor in multicore as it's only using 4 cores.
