User Reviews
There is only one word, BEST!
Why, because there is no benefit of excellent SoCs or features if your smartphone cannot survive for long. This phone has all you need!
The only potent rival is iPhone 6 because other Android skins lag too much and previous iPhones were way too small, and 6S series has force touch.
Rating 10, because the phone itself is so amazing, mentioning cons are not much of an issue.
- One of the best overall smartphone packages(features, reliability, performance)
- Fast Charging. (2% in 1 minute, under some restrictions)
- Excellent 13mp 2160p rear camera
- Great 8mp 1080p front camera
- MIUI is definitely a bridge between Android and iOS
- Display boost (Automatic Contrast) can boost brightness of darker areas to some extent in sunlight
- Most well-built 'value for money' device
- No SD slot forces you to buy 64 GB version if 16 isn't enough
- No headphones out of the box, and MI earphones aren't worth
- Sunlight reflectivity
- Lacks NFC
- Lacks fingerprint sensor.
After 6 months of using it I have to say that it is so far the best phone I've every had. Bought it for around 330 euro. Sill 6 months after can't find anything better than Xiaomi Mi4. The camera could be a bit better and SD slot would be a great thing to have.
- Price (all things considered) !
- Big battery
- Processor & GPU
- Display (top notch)
- Built quality (apart from back cover)
- Call recording by default!
- MIUI (great iOS-like Android mod)
- SD cards not supported
- Plastic back cover
Good screen, almost 100% sRGB coverage, sligtly higher red and green. Primitive tuning of gamma (3 fixed values only).
High screen to body ratio.
Good battery and battery life.
Good button ergonomics, small screen mode available.
Very functional and pretty UI. Some non-english services are in the phone firmware.
Easy root - in dev. firmware by default. Dual partition design for easy firmware revert.
Lots of storage in64Gb version. Sightly slower storage than newest Samsung UFS implementation but way faster than any class 10 microsd card.
Average sound pipeline (expecially inferior compared to bigger brothers with Sabre DAC and TI amp).
Some users report bad (quiet) mic or phone dynamic. No such issues on my phone yet.
Lots of models with different radios, hard to discern them. As a short guideline, in "about phone - model name" you should see either Mi 4W (3G WCDMA, no LTE) or Mi 4LTE-CU (3G WCDMA, 4G FDD-LTE - band1, band3).
Do not buy Mi 4LTE-CMCC and any other models, 3G and 4G in it will work only in China.
