Leaked Xiaomi Mi4 front renders make a cameo in Black and White

Phones from Chinese companies have been constantly proving lately that they are the best value-for-money propositions in the Android universe, and the expected fourth edition of Xiaomi's Mi flagships line is no exception. It is expected to sport a large, 5.5" 1080p display, a Snapdragon 801 processor, like current Android flagships from Samsung, Sony, or HTC, and the generous 3 GB of RAM. The device should also come laden with a 13 MP camera at the back, a 2 MP frontal shooter, and, thanks to the Snapdragon chipset, finally sport 4G LTE connectivity.

What's even more interesting than the specs sheet, though, is the design story, as we are expecting the Xiaomi Mi4 to be clad in a metal chassis, exuding some premium vibes, with the accompanying thin and light shell. The alleged front panels of the black and white versions just leaked for the first time in the form of press renders, showing a fairly orthodox rectangular design with tapered corners, indicating very slim side bezels, which should bode well for the phone's gripability, despite the rumored large display. In any case, July 22nd, when all will allegedly be revealed, is just a few days away.

I just trying out their redmi note enhance edition. Pretty good comparable to a Samsung Note 2 at a small fraction of the price.

MIUI V5 is better than touchwiz with their theme online store and build in security that support permission control over what apps are allow to access such as denying Facebook apps permission to learn my contacts and location.

Xiaomi has the potential to challenge Samsung in the phone industry. Of course they have a very long way to go, but the potential is definitely there

Okay. Nearly all the specs mentioned here about Mi4 is WRONG.

"The generous 3gb Ram"

So that means it's not enough?

I agree

5gb Ram would be great.

You're right. Even I was hoping for that. This design is bald. There is no sexiness when we look at it. Argg mi3 is better looking
