Xiaomi Mi 4i combines impressive specs with a $200 price tag
Xiaomi is hoping the well-equipped Mi 4i will help the company grab a larger smartphone market share, but it's still holding off entering the U.S. and Europe. Launching the smartphone at an event in India is a departure for the company, which thus far has launched its smartphones in China. The Mi 4i can be summed up as a souped-up midrange smartphone with a low-end price tag at 12,999 rupees (US$205) without a contract. It has a 5-inch, 1080 x 1920 pixel screen and is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615, an octa-core processor with integrated support for LTE. The processor is a step below the Snapdragon 800 family, which is used to power high-end products.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
