Design

The Mi 4i, like its big-screen sibling Redmi Note, has a straight line design with a soft finish polycarbonate back. It packs in a 5-inch display and yet has a thin bezel at 7.8 mm, which makes it comfortable to grip and operate with one hand.

Camera

The phone sports a 13 mega pixel rear camera. It comes with a two-tone flash that balances out light when used. The camera app has a neat interface and is intuitive to use. The images captured during bright daylight appeared sharp and offered great details.

It is packed with the new Qualcomm 64-bit, 1.7-Ghz octa-core Snapdragon processor paired with 2 GB of RAM. It runs on Android Lollipop with MIUI 6 version.  Overall, the performance is impressive and it can handle heavy graphic games with ease.

Battery

Xiaomi has managed to add a 3,120-mAh battery to this sleek device. Despite the heavy usage like email accounts, Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook, camera and browsing, the phone can last over a day on a single charge.
