Affordable Xiaomi Mi 4i now available globally (though not directly from Xiaomi)

Xiaomi recently released a new and affordable Android smartphone called Mi 4i, but it only launched it in India and a few other Asian markets. However, now you can buy the handset from almost anywhere in the world thanks to Uniqbe, a Hong Kong-based third-party retailer that's accepting international orders.

While the Mi 4i costs around $200 in India, it's not that cheap at Uniqbe. The retailer is asking $240 for the smartphone, plus shipping - which can go up to around $50 - $60 (depending on where you live). All in all, you can buy the new Xiaomi handset for about $300 unlocked. But that's still not a bad price, considering the features that the Mi 4i is offering.

Running Android Lollipop customized with Xiaomi's MIUI 6 UI, the Mi 4i sports a 5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixels, and has dual SIM support. It's powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, further featuring: a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front-facing camera, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage space (not expandable), and a 3120 mAh battery. Recently, the smartphone received a software update that solved an overheating issue. Will you be buying one?
