Xiaomi Mi 4s review: Pushing forward

28 March, 2016
The Xiaomi Mi 4s went official hours before the Mi 5, a teaser of sorts for the headliner. It even made the trip to Barcelona but enjoyed little of the spotlight for obvious reasons. This is the fourth installment in the Mi 4 lineup – hardly breaking news in a week full of high-profile announcements. Yet, we bet the new Xiaomi flagship wouldn’t mind repeating the success of a predecessor that spawned quite the offspring.

              I would have thought mi4c and mi4s had exact same screens and cameras...

              Are you sure your testing method for screen is reliable?

                AnonD-246723, 29 Mar 2016No ......... because they dont need to . India and china ... moreExactly. Also, they said that the US market isn't big enough for them so I guess they will take their time.

                    because they dont need to .
                    India and china market are not saturated yet . In fact they have problem supply enough stock until 3rd party can jack up the price as much as $200 .

                      At launch, I very quickly decided I like the Mi 4s better than the Mi 5. From the review though, it seems Xiaomi is deliberately holding this back a little so the flagship may shine brighter. Shame...
                      One thing I respect of Samsung (even though I have stop using their phone) is that their cameras seems to share similar processing, even if the flagship uses way superior hardware. Here, it just seems Mi4 is deliberately made to produces inferior photos. Good, but it could be better.

                        So basically a mi4c with worse audio quality and camera and a low contrast screen (mi4c had one of the most vivid and contrasty lcds).. Pity.

                            dasman, 28 Mar 2016Why can't this company come to North America already?because they will get sued to bankruptcy for all their copyright infringements..not to mention it takes a lot of preparation to get into the US market given the popularity of Apple and the iPhone
