Xiaomi
recently celebrated the Mi Fan festival by offering several devices for
Rs 2,000 less, including the celebrated Mi 4. Now, the company has no
plans to go back to the older pricing. An official statement by the
company reads, “Mi India offered a special price for Mi 4 during Mi Fan
Festival, and it was very well received. We have thus decided to make
this price drop permanent.”
The
16GB Mi 4 priced at Rs 19,999 is available for Rs 17,999 after the
price cut, while the 64GB model is up for grabs at Rs 21,999, which is
down from its original Rs 23,999 price tag. It is now available on
Flipkart and offline via The Mobile Store. Manu Jain has revealed that
the Mi 4 will also be made available on Snapdeal and Amazon soon.
The
new pricing also brings it at par with the OnePlus One. The Xiaomi Mi 4
was certainly priced well for its features and performance when
launched, but its 12GB usable memory was definitely one of the major
flaws. Specially when you considered the fact that with just Rs 2,000
more you could get the OnePlus One which cames with similar specs and
64GB memory (four times that of the Mi 4). Read our complete Xiaomi Mi 4
review to know more.
The
price cut is also an indication that the company is paving way for its
new smartphone supposedly to be called Mi 4i. It is expected to be
unveiled at an event named ‘Global Mi phone premiere’ that will take
place in New Delhi on April 23. The new device is rumoured to sport a
1.65GHz Snapdragon 615 octa-core 64-bit processor paired with 2GB RAM
and will run on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out-of-the-box. These specs
closely resemble the unannounced Xiaomi device, dubbed ‘Ferrari’ that
appeared in a benchmark listing last month.
