Design and Quality

The design of Xiaomi Mi4 is very much similar to that of Apple’s iPhone. It has also used the stainless steel all around it. This clearly shows that Xiaomi is very much impressed by iPhone even the white plastic inside the frame is also similar to that of iPhone. Design wise there is nothing unique in this handset. The only difference in the design is that the white plastic has been protected by the steel on the front panel which also helps to protect it from getting flaked away and this has not been taken care of in iPhone 4S and due to this quite a great deal of damage can be provided to it. The back of this device is plastic but the back cover is removable and if someone doesn’t like the plastic, he/she may replace the back cover with some other material as the company is also offering back covers ranging from marble to wood material. The feel of the phone is very good. It provides nice grip and sits very comfortably in the hands. The edges of the device are sharp but the feel is very premium of the whole design. The volume rocker and the power button are towards the right hand side. The screen of the device is full HD and according to the claims of the company the screen’s accuracy of color gamut is 17% more than iPhone 5S.

OS and Tech

The device runs Android v4.4.3 KitKat having company own MIUI skin on top of it. The company has made little changes to the Android OS by providing complete features to the MIUI which can hardly be found on Android OS. Every app has been placed on the home screen which makes it easy for the user to use any app in quick succession.

Camera and Multimedia

The best thing about this phone is the camera. The shutter of the camera is very quick and there are manual control provided by the MIUI which can help in adjusting the exposure along with the speed of the shutter. If someone doesn’t need that, so the default auto mode works also perfect. The phone takes good pictures even under low light. The videos recorded by it are also of great quality which is much enhanced by the excellent screen. The front camera is also perfect having higher capacity and works very nice for the selfies and video calls.

Battery and Memory

Mi4 has been equipped with a powerful battery which successfully manages to give it a one and a half day life. As per the claims of the company, this battery is capable enough to provide 280hrs of standby time which is more than expected. The 3GB RAM is also more than what was expected to this device which makes the performance of the device very fast and flawless while the 16GB internal storage is also decent though this cannot be further extended.
