The Xiaomi Mi 4i that was exclusively launched in India will go on sale (first flash sale) today at 2PM on Flipkart. Like the other Xiaomi flash sale this one is also open to registered users only. There will be about 40,000 Xiaomi Mi 4i units available today.
Registered users will be able to add the Mi 4i to their cart and they will need to complete the transaction (make the payment) before 6PM today. The Mi 4i is priced at Rs. 12,999 that looks pretty good considering the specs and it surely go out of stock within few seconds / minutes.
Xiaomi Mi 4i is a dual SIM handset with 4G LTE support. It is powered by 2nd generation qualcomm snapdragon 615 1.7GHz octa core processor coupled with Adreno 405 GPU. There is 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. Micro SD slot is missing. The handset sports a 5 inch screen with full HD (1080p) resolution. There are some really exciting features that I will cover in the Mi 4i Review.
This handset is running MIUI 6 based on android Lollipop and also packs a 13MP AF camera on the rear with dual tone LED flash and a 5MP camera on the front. Other features are 4G, 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth.
The Mi 4i gets power from a 3120 mAh battery and the handset is about 7.8mm thick.

Dear gogi sir..
When Xiaomi mi 4i available in the offline sale like the mobile store… Plz tell me I am waiting !!
Dear gogi.. Have u got mi4i? Eagerly waiting for your review..
No not yet, but the tracking code says Shipment Out For Delivery 06-May-2015 17:15. So I will get it today I guess. Already late but will start the review, and will try getting it up before the next sale, tomorrow.
Hi update – Just got it!
HI GOGI Bro,
Is this handset is as good as “PROMOTED”…?
Eagerly waiting for your review…!
Thanks
Does mi4i heats only playing high graphics games? or simply using for 10-20 min.
Gogi,
Did you received it? If yes then when are you posting the review? Eagerly waiting for it.
Unfortunate no, still with courier, at Bangalore, seems like they did not pickup due to holidays in a row.
I am using this phone from Two days. performance is good but my question is I am unable to share status from the two line status android app..it says protocol not support.
While I am share status from twolinestatus.com it will work fine.
Please help me.. because this sharing feature is work well with my xperia.
This site is very good for daily Whatsapp status update.. and it has also feature to share directly but is not working with my new mi 4i
Received my mi4i today look wise it is similar to Micromax unite 2
How is the phone? does it heat up much?
Finally, I got 2 handset. One for cousin and one for my uncle. One from a pc and another from a tablet. Yeah I know that heating issue are there. That why I am not interested in xiaomi product after their review on c4tech.
Ya Bro, Heating issue is there. I also Checked C4ETech & Fonearena Gaming Review. Temperature went up to 47 degrees. I think Problem is with All Snapdragon 615 Chipsets, So I also decided to ignore Mi4i.
Problem is with all snapdragon processors. Then you have to avoid all such phones.
But Heating is More in 615 & 810 Chipsets Compared To Other Snapdragon Chipsets.Bro Temperature is Going Upto 49 Degrees within 10 mins then how you gonna enjoy features of a smartphone which costs Rs 13000.
13000 is not a low price with severe heating issues,only 10 GB user Memory & No Micro SD Slot.
I am also a fan of Xiaomi,Using Mi3 since last year without any trouble But Since Redmi 2 Xiaomi Now Completely Getting Wrong with Specifications.
Bhai you said you are using Mi3 and you are Happy with it then why you are complaining about mi4i?? Mi3 heats as much as Mi4i it has same 16gb as Mi4i…???
Mi3 Didn’t give any trouble but it was Snapdragon 800 which Don’t heat up that much.Snapdragon 800 is more superior chipset compared to Snapdragon 615 which is a heating rod.
I also got one giving it away for free does anybody want it… @gogi I opened ur fb page der is one guy commented in ur every post to review Zenphone 2 2gb version.. Bechara ka reply dia karo.. 😀
Sorry I hardly check facebook, but will see.
For free..? I want it..I want it..
Free as in.. i’ll COD it to u without any money if u were unable to buy it..
Giving it for free?…sounds interesting…. Should we enroll and win any contest for that..?
Why are you giving it away for free? I’ll happily take it if you don’t want it 🙂
Gogi. How many phones you own? :p
without Gogi’s review, sale will not pick up
wo sach hai bro
Gogi sir plzzz make the review of zenfone 2 ze550ml model which has 720p display and 2gb ram.,everybody focused on 4gb ram model but nobody says about 2gb ram model….which is better to buy if we compare xiaomi mi4i or zenfone 2 ze550ml
Only white colour is available, when will be others colours will be available?
If you look at the handset image, only the back panel is colorful, so I guess they will sell the colorful back case separately as an accessory from Mi.com.
As per MI’s official website it is not correct what you are saying. Also as per other reviewers and websites and hands on videos, all the colours will be available but bit later. But not sure whether those back panels will be glossy or matte finished except White and Black. MI is selling 4i’s case cover and flip cover separately which are also colourful.
Gogi,
It’s unibody design. How to change back cover..
Sorry I meant the back case.
I would wait for it considering they only launched the mi4 and mi pad in white only(which sucks).
Also only the black has a matte finish , rest all colors including white are glossy.
No, White has also matte finished back panel. Confirmed by all the reviewers. Also, all the glossy colours will come in matte finish except Ferrari Red and the Blue ones as per a video by Clinton Jeff. You can check it if you want.
Waiting for Gogi’s in depth review.
3 lac+ reg. & 40K units, again those old days of Xiaomi getting sold out in 2-3 secs will be played for atleast 1 month.
hi gogi did you get one in today’s sale for review?
Got it easily.
I have gone for yu yureka and today after 13 time of failing I got it easily and sale is going on now only 76% has been claimed.
Gr8 Gogi, so it seems actual buyers were less today. This might be because Gogi has not yet came up with his review:) At least I am waiting for it.
hi gogi ji do you got one for review?
Yes I got one, will be delivered on or before 8th May.
I have liked the phone but as it is only 16gb internal storage and does not have any micro sd support I have gone for lenovo a7000. Because I am a heavy gamer so I need more storage.
I also got it easily but don’t wanna proceed as I also need more storage.
I also got it easily but don’t wanna proceed as I also need more storage.
Got it easily but will not pay, as it seems that the back battery cover cannot be changed like my Redmi 1s. So will wait till the air is cleared .. I don’t want white as of now.
Friend it’s OTG supported. Inbuilt SD card will kill the device for 16 GB internal memory.
i am able to add 1 in my cart i want to know wifi hotspot tethering is available in this phone or not?
Hotspot is a default features that you will find on all new handset using the latest hardware.
First the eagerly waited to click on buy now, first it appeared after countdown timer when i clicked on buy now it again shown countdown timer for 25 seconds then am able to add the mi 4i to my cart.
Got one…..:-)
Added successfully in my cart.
Hi am able to buy one xiaomi mi 4i
I too got one Mi4i now, booking successful, let me see the performance difference between Mi4i and Yureka, as I own both and my Yuraka running butter smooth without any issues in Kitkat and also after updating to Lollipop. Yu is excellent device as per me and my Yureka, but more than 90% YU devices had issues with software and hardware I PLAY WITH GOD AND MI.
In All Youtube Review Videos, it’s Heating Like Hell With 10-15 Mins Gameplay,Temperature Crossing 47 Degrees. So Big NO To Mi4i. I think All Snapdragon 615 Chipsets having Heating Problems, So Better Avoid All Mobiles With 615 Chipsets.
I am not able to find one review with above mentioned opinion..
Check Fonearena Videos Or Website & C4ETech Youtube Channel…
Bro I also checked one gaming video .. Max temp count is 41 degree
I am not saying it from my side,I just spoke what i have seen in videos.You can Check Yourself to get confirmed.
why don’t you share the link of the video which you are claiming regarding heating issues i also saw the video in youtube maximum temperature is 41 degrees
Gogi did u get review unit? Or will try today?
No I did not, will try buying today.
gogi how many phones are you buying …so lucky
Did you get one gogi?
Yes got it.
Does It support OTG?
Yes, it does support USB OTG.
