Xiaomi Mi 4 Review

64 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 75.2 / 100

Xiaomi Mi 4 is an incredible Android cellphone launched many years ago, packed with a pretty large 5" multi-touch screen, an extremely powerful 2500 megahertz Quad-Core processor, a 13 mega-pixels back-facing camera and an 8 MP front camera.

Xiaomi ships this cellphone with an exceptional 2500 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 8974-AC chip with a great 3 GB RAM memory. Graphic calculations generally eats a lot of CPU time, so this cellphone also has an additional Adreno 330 graphic processing unit ticking at 450 MHz to help the CPU with those tasks. A great advantage of the Xiaomi Mi 4 is its large 64 GB internal storage memory and although it doesn't come with a slot for SD memory cards, it is still enough to store hundreds of apps without thinking about how much memory is left.

Xiaomi appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 5.26 oz cellphone. This cellphone just has 5.48" long and 2.7 inches wide, but it still manages to hold a 5 inches screen. This phone has a gorgeous design, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches. This phone is offerred in 2 different colors, black and white.

This device is equipped with an absolutely amazing 5-inches screen with a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, making everything look completely perfect. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The Xiaomi Mi 4 offers wi-fi capability (and it can share it with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high speed connectivity and also HSPA+ connectivity, which is a lower speed 4G network and 3G fast internet connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. The Xiaomi Mi 4 works with a SIM card to use GSM services.

The Xiaomi Mi 4 features two cameras, a 13 megapixels back side camera and an 8 MP front facing camera. While it's 13 MP may seem great the back side camera has a very little 0.326797" sensor it takes less detailed pictures than it should. It is capable of filming 3840x2160 4K videos at 30 frames per second, and 1920x1080 Full HD slow-motion videos at 60 frames per second (2 times slower than reality). To complete the camera, it also includes a large number of valuable characteristics: flash, face detection shooting, auto-focus, HDR mode, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

The Xiaomi Mi 4 also features some cool features such as Infrared Blaster, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Xiaomi Mi 4 packs a 3080 mAh large Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery that provides this cellphone an amazing battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that the Xiaomi Mi 4's battery is non-removable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to lose capacity, even though with its 3080 mAh you will probably replace this cellphone before that happens.

This cellphone may not be a very good choice considering it is offerred for $ 329, and many similar phones are being sold cheaper than that. No matter if you want a phone to play games, will use this cellphone majorly for internet broswing and social networks, are looking for a cellphone for work or want this device to take lots of photos, you will probably love this phone.
