New Product Launch : Xiaomi Mi 4 64GB Model To Land In India On February 24 For Rs 23999

If you were holding back from buying the 16GB Xiaomi Mi 4 smartphone in anticipation of the 64GB model, the company has announced that the higher capacity version is all set to make its debut in India. The handset will go on sale from February 24 and it’ll carry a price tag of Rs 23999.

The 16GB Xiaomi Mi 4 is one of the cheapest flagship phones on the market, but it does have a few downsides. Firstly, the internal memory is all you get as there’s no microSD card slot and you’ll have to rely on external accessories such as USB OTG for connecting storage devices. And out of 16GB, just about 12GB is available for hoarding content.

That certainly isn’t enough for most users and brings the need for a higher storage model. The difference in retail amounts between the 16GB and 64GB options is Rs 3000 which is pretty reasonable, but the 5.5-inch OnePlus One does have the upper hand here since it offers the same 64GB storage and at Rs 21999. What gives Xiaomi’s handset the advantage is that it comes in a compact design which is easy to use in a single hand.


The Mi 4 features a metal frame with a 5-inch 1080p display fitted on the front. There are dual high-quality Sony cameras onboard as well, with an 8MP selfie shooter and a 13MP main imager. Additionally, the phone offers 3GB RAM and a 3080mAh battery with quick charge support.

Xiaomi Mi 4 specs roundup:

– 2.5GHz quad core Snapdragon 801 SOC
– 3GB RAM
– 16GB/64GB non-expandable storage
– Android 4.4 KitKat w/ MIUI V6
– 13MP rear camera, 8MP front shooter
– 3080mAh battery

The 64GB Xiaomi Mi 4 smartphone will also be exclusive to Flipkart and you can expect to see limited stock on February 24.

New Product News : Xiaomi Mi 4 Specs Might Be Great, But OnePlus One, Honor 6 And Vibe X2 Are Better. Here Is Why

Xiaomi has again managed to deliver a jaw-dropping spec sheet with its Mi 4 smartphone. However, it has failed to impress with the price tag like before. Many feel the phone, which is almost a year old, is over-priced in India, given the limited 12GB internal storage available to the user and the lack of 4G support.

It might be too early to talk about whether 4G is essential, but just 12GB of user memory for a smartphone which is meant for power usage is paralysing, especially since there is no way to expand memory. For the record, a minute of 4K UHD video recording on a phone like OnePlus One needs around 500MB of memory. It would have been a better deal if Xiaomi offered the 64GB 4G variant of the Mi 4 smartphone at Rs 19,999. That would have been a real Xiaomi product at a Xiaomi price.

During the launch of the Redmi Note smartphone, the company said that it wants to future-proof low-cost smartphone buyers by offering the 4G version of the Redmi Note at Rs 1,000 more than the 3G version. But with the Mi 4, it seems Xiaomi have realised that 4G penetration will take more time in the country and people would anyway opt for a new handset by the time 4G goes mainstream.

Specs of Mi 4: 5-inch HD IPS display (Corning OGS Glass) | Android 4.4.4 KitKat operating system with MIUI 6 | 2.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 CPU | 3GB RAM | 16GB internal memory | 13MP rear camera (4K video recording) | 8M front camera | 3G, 2G connectivity| 3080 mAh battery| Price: Rs 19,999

While Xiaomi boasted about the stainless steel frame in its Mi 4, to be honest, one glance at it and it reminded me of the Huawei Honor 6. The Honor 6, which is now priced at Rs 17,999 on Flipkart offers good overall value with support for 4G and 16 GB internal memory which can be expanded up to 64GB.

Huawei Honor 6 review:
Specs of Huawei Honor 6: 5-inch Full HD display (445 ppi) | 1.3 GHz octa-core Hi Silicon Kirin 920 processor | 3 GB RAM | 16 GB internal memory (up to 64 GB expandable) | 13 MP rear camera | 5 MP front camera| Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS | Emotion 2.3 UI | 4G ready | 3100 mAh battery | Price: Rs 17,999

On the storage front, the OnePlus One clearly wins the battle. Priced at Rs 21,999, the device with its design, hardware and user experience, will easily please any buyer. Plus, it has a great camera.

OnePlus One review:

Specs of OnePlus One: 5.5-inch Full HD (1920x1080p, 401 PPI) LTPS IPS with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 | Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with 2.5GHz Quad-core | 3GB RAM | 64GB internal storage, no external slot | 13MP rear camera + 5MP front camera | 4K video recording with slowmotion | 3100 mAh battery | 4G with nano and micro SIM trays in box | Cyanogen 11S OS based on Android 4.4 | Price: Rs 21,999

The Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone impressed us with its overall performance. Priced at Rs 19,999, the Vibe X2 introduced layers to the smartphone market.

Lenovo Vibe X2 review:

Specs of Lenovo Vibe X2: 5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen (1080x1920p, ~441 ppi) | MediatTek MT6595m 2.0 GHz True8Core Octa-core processor | 2 GB RAM | 32GB internal (no external memory) | 13MP rear camera + 5MP front camera | 4G dual SIM (micro + Nano) | 2300 mAh battery | Android 4.4 with Vibe UI | Price: Rs 19,999

No doubt the Xiaomi Mi 4 smartphone is a beast of a device with its camera and hardware specifications. However, it might fall behind when it comes to storage, if not support for 4G, at Rs 19,999.
