xiaomi Mi 4 coming on 28 january

Xiaomi has sent out a press invite saying that it will launch its next flagship device the Mi 4 in
India on 28 January at an event in Delhi. It was reported earlier that the Mi 4 could launch
on 28 January.
Interestingly, the message also says Mi hits a 4 and 6, a cricket reference. Also the image in
the invite seen below shows three Mi 4’s arranged in what looks like stumps. While it’s
unlikely that Xiaomi Note (which has 5.7-inch screen) and was launched this month will hit
the Indian market, the cricketing reference could indicate a special-tie up to the sport by the
Chinese smartphone maker.

The Mi 4 was launched last year and has a 5-inch (1 920 x 1 080 pixels) IPS display with 441
ppi resolution. It uses Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. It is powered by a 2.5 GHz
quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor and has 3GB RAM.

The handset has a 1 3MP rear camera with LED Flash, Sony IMX21 4 BSI sensor and 4K video
recording. It also has a whooping 8MP front-facing camera with Sony Exmor R sensor. The
device will have either 1 6GB or 64GB internal storage space. The Mi 4 comes with Android
4.4.3 KitKat pre-installed, with a layer of the MIUI OS skin.

In terms of connectivity, the phone has 4G LTE, 3G, WiFi 802.1 1 a/b/g/n (2.4/5 GHz), WiFi
Direct, Bluetooth and GPS. It has a 3,080 mAh battery. The device measures 1 39.2 x 68.5 x
8.9mm and weighs 1 49 grams.

The Mi 4 is expected to launch exclusively on Flipkart, just as most of its phones launched in
India. It’s remains to be seen whether this phone will also have the flash sale model like
other Xiaomi devices. Also the price is being speculated to be under Rs 20,000. Will Xiaomi
impress on the price front? We will find out on Wednesday
