The Xiaomi Mi 4i has a sturdy build. Review on Xiaomi Mi 4i

Xiaomi has been in the Indian market for less than a year now and it has been rocking the smartphone industry from the very beginning. The Chinese smartphone maker has set foot in India to take on the rival brands with premium quality smartphones on a pocket friendly price. With multiple smartphones already in its line, the Mi 4i was recently released especially for India. The device is placed in the premium mid-range segment, but commands a pocket-friendly price—a great device for those hunting for a good smartphone on a small budget.

The Xiaomi Mi 4i was launched towards the end of April in New Delhi. This is the first product from the Chinese brand that saw a smartphone being launched in another country. The smartphone is well-designed, sleek and powerful for daily conventional use, yet very economically priced.

The Xiaomi Mi 4i has a sturdy build. Sleek and slim, the handset is designed with a dual-tone unibody design. The front panel is completely made with an OGS display, which comprises of a full HD 1080x1920 pixel IPS display with the strength of Gorilla Glass 3. As usual, it sports a three-button capacitive back-lit control buttons on the lower edge and the earpiece and front camera, along with a series of sensors are seen on the top. With rounded corners, rear panel flushes neatly against the display glass, which adds to the device’s protection from light rain and water spills. Do note, the Mi 4i is not waterproof. The rear panel is not removable, which means the battery is a non user-replaceable type. The volume and power buttons are made of chrome and take up the right side of the device, while the top and bottom sport the earphone jack and micro USB port respectively. The left side sports an ejectable SIM card tray, which houses two micro SIM cards, side-by-side. There is no micro SD card, which means the internal memory cannot be expanded.
