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 (1920 x 1080 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 13MP rear camera with LED Flash, Sony IMX214 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 16GB 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 802.11 a/b/g/n
(2.4/5 GHz), WiFi Direct, Bluetooth and GPS. It has a 3,080 mAh battery.
The device measures 139.2 x 68.5 x 8.9mm and weighs 149 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.
