Xiaomi Mi4C Is Official With Snapdragon 808, 3GB RAM & an Amazing Price Tag

Back when Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi Mi4i flagship in India, Chinese users felt a bit left out. The device was good in looks as well as specs and the local market could have used a device like the Mi4i. But little did they know that Xiaomi had something even better for its domestic market, and a few minutes back, it made the Xiaomi Mi4C flagship official. Just like the previous leaks and rumors predicted, the Mi4C flagship will be much better in terms of specs and value than its international brother, the Mi4i. I am sure after seeing the specs and the pricing of the new device, Chinese users will be delighted for sure. So, without wasting any more of your time, lets take a look at what this amazing device has to offer.

Looks wise, there’s hardly anything changed in the new Xiaomi Mi4C. You get the same smooth back finish with a strong rectangular body as its international brother. While this may sound a bit simple, especially in a market where metal bodied smartphones are preferred, the company compensates this clean look with its numerous color offerings. You can choose between five different colors according to your liking, including yellow, white, pink, blue and black.
But this is where the major similarity ends. Under the hood, the Xiaomi Mi4C comes with the much more powerful Snapdragon 808 . On the other hand, the Mi4i had the slower Snapdragon 615. This is a great move from Xiaomi since 808 will ensure the fastest performance in its price segment, which is exactly what the MT6795 powered Redmi Note 2 did . There are two version of the Mi4C, one with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage while the othe r with 3GB RAM and 64GB of storage. With Adreno 418 GPU and the above specs, the Xiaomi Mi4C manages to score much better than competitors in the price range. According to the benchmark score revealed by the company in the presentation, the Mi4C managed to score about 57K on AnTuTu , which is even better than MX5 and Huawei P8. Clearly, you won’t be disappointed with the phone’s performance.
The display will be of 5-inches with full HD 1080p resolution . It is said that the Mi4C’s display will be 20% slimmer than traditional panels. The company has compared its size with the recently announced Apple iPhone 6S. As you can see, the dimensions are almost the same as the 6S, despite having a slightly larger display. Also, Xiaomi has made sure that the bezels are quite thin, making it around 30% thinner than average smartphones.
The company has also paid special attention to the Mi4C’s camera. The phone comes with a 13MP Sony IMX258 rear sensor with PDAF . This should ensure great images with fast focus. What’s more, the company has upgraded the algorithm to ensure that low light photos come out bright , with more detail and less noise. You can check out the image below to see how it works in real life.

[NOTE 8 vs ONEPLUS 6 vs PIXEL 2 XL] Low Light Photography - a Small Comaprison.

Okay, I've had a LG V30+ which I sold off for the Op6. But My frnd still has kept his Note 8 and Pixel 2XL with himself.
I shot 3 sets for comparison.
Please note that the time I had the phones are limited and so the comparison pics are also limited to same surroundings but different framing.
The attachments are also in same order of Pixel 2 XL --> OnePlus ^ --> Note 8
I am quite awestruck by the OnePlus's Camera prowess. See for yourselves.

Thanks for sharing these. I have recently purchased both a v30+ at a substantial discount as well as an op6. What are some of your thoughts about your transition?

I am still torn. The V30+ is hands down the BEST size, build and sensible phone in a long time. I LOVED the headphone sound on my HD600s (you need to have a High Impedence Can to hear what the V30+ can do) but I downright HATED the camera. And I am pathetic in keeping phones, how so very good it might be. I skimp phones in a max time of 2 months.
Didn't feel as bad while letting my Pixel 2 or the S9+ go as I felt with the V30+. Loved that phone.

Great thread. Kind of confirms what I suspected, that the OP6 camera is very close though not quite as good as the other two, but closer than the price differential would suggest.

quick comment
Judging by the photos, oneplus might have just a little bit of a problem dealing with bright spots as compared to pixel but its better than pretty much everything else .
and also judging by your photos, it seems it comes down to autofocus and how still you are while taking photos , these two have much larger impact on sharpness than anything else.

Well, I think OP6 has leveraged the Camera game in the midrange price bracket into new heights. It compares favourably to these flagships.

Interesting as what I've seen on the reviewers comparisons that the OP6 has been much better at NOT blowing out the bright areas compared to the S9+ and the Pixel 2XL. I'm wondering if you had the settings not quite right? Was your HDR off or something?
And it was actually the slightly darker pics against those other 2 phones. In these pics it is much lighter and a little washed out.
Update: After looking again I am surprised though that the Pixel camera has much more noise in the phone then the OP6 as you can see in the sky and the trees above is very bad.

Find X2 PRO display issues like OP8 Pro ?

hi,
I'm owner of OP8 Pro and yes, also my device has the famous black bar issue (dark horizontal bar from punch hole). It is noticeable only on low brightness (~10%) in a dark room and on certain backgrounds only.
Also certain colors (different shades of gray...) are rendered pretty strange at very low brightness.
Truth being told, this is not something I can notice during normal use (I anyway like to have bright screen, even in darker environments) and othewise the screen is fantastic, but it bothers me just knowing the issues are there
Anyhow, today is the last day of my 15 day-no-questions-asked return window and I'm still thinking whether to return OP8 Pro and go with Find X2 pro or not.
So inputs from Find owners how your screen behaves would be highly appreciated.
thanks!

My screen is perfect on find X2 pro especially with 1B colours

They aren't even in the same league, the configuration and tuning Oppo put in to the display is above and beyond amazing.

The OPPO Find X2 Pro has the best display of any smartphone I've ever used.

I have black crush issues on my Find X2 Pro. It's not major, but I see straight lines from top to bottom on gray backgrounds, and from the punchhole. Green tint when DC Dimming is off. Only with low brightness ofcourse.

im coming from s20+ to oppo x2 pro
while the screen is good i cant help feeling the s20 is punchier
i tried changing screen setting to vivid but is still too washed out
the white is very strong vs samsung that is dimmer
i think samsung also uses a antiglaring tech that makes their phones a bit darker
either way - i wasnt blown away and i find the options to calibrate the colour very basic

Suppose it's down to preference & opinions which I'm respectful of, however just to weight in, I feel Oppo restricted the colour calibrations so much because they put so much time & effort in to it themselves, for me, it's the best out right now, at a push, top 3 out.

I came from Samsung note 9 and the screen on Samsung displays is more punchier as it more vivid.
I was testing both phones with number of demo and test material and the Samsung was indeed puncher and is brighter on material by over compensation of brightness but it was also less accurate in colour production, lost shadow detail, less sharp and banding issues than the oppo.
Same results on my galaxy tab s6 tablet.
The oppo screen is calibrated screen so more true to life image display and has much better shadow detail and no banding issues.
Have a read of oneplus 8 pro vs oppo find x2 pro
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....8-pro-vs-oppo-find-x2-pro-1130012/amp/?espv=1
The oppo find x2 pro and oneplus 8 pro both have a pixelworks image processor so dedicated hardware.

Additionally, although the OnePlus 8 Pro's display & the Oppo Find X2 Pro's are similar, the Oppo's is simply in another league, thanks to the time, effort & optimization put in from the Oppo team

Guys could you help me out? I received my X2 Pro (CPH2025) today and it has severe display artifacts.

[Unboxing] My First Impression of HONOR 9A - Midnight Black Color

Received the Honor 9A yesterday in Midnight black and on first impressions very impressed.

The box was nice with details of the phone on it. Inside the box there was a European plug and micro Usb charging cable, a set of earphones, the SIM tray removal pin and all the instruction manual and warranty card.
When I removed the phone I thought the screen was a very nice size for my big hands and the back was a nice shiny midnight black with the triple camera setup & fingerprint sensor.
On the right hand side was the power button and volume rockers and on the left the SIM tray which can hold 2 SIM cards & a micro SD card up to 512gb.
On the top was what looks like a microphone hole and on the bottom micro usb charging port, the sound speaker and a 3.5" headphone jack. The sides felt ok but was very plasticy and has that budget feel but still felt nice to hold.
On the screen was the teardrop selfie camera.
I found the phone itself was very light but nice to hold.
The phone has 3gb of Ram and 64gb of storage so if you put in a 512gb micro SD card you will have more than enough storage. I have put in a 128gb card which to me is plenty. I haven't taken any pictures as yet but that I will post later.
Once I had setup the phone it was surprisingly quite responsive and the LCD screen was bright and very clear.
What I was very happy with is that this budget phone has Android 10.1 & Magic Ui 3.1, something my Honor 20 or Honor 9X Pro doesn't have as of yet and looks great, can't wait for it to come on my Honor 20 and 9X Pro.
The Honor 9A also has face unlock and the fingerprint scanner and password to protect the phone something you wouldn't expect on this price range phone.
I also found not having Google apps and services nothing to worry about as most can be found on the App gallery and APK pure, but Petal search is fantastic and will find most apps you need.
I charged the phone to full and used it all day yesterday and most of today so far and still on 50%. So that 5000mAh battery is brilliant and definitely makes it last longer, depending on use.
I have not used the phone for gaming as yet as use the Honor 20 and 9X Pro for gaming. But I'm sure you will be able to play most games but probably on a lower setting.
Overall my first impression on this great budget phone is good and anyone who wants a good phone for a certain price range then this will make them very happy. What you get for £129.99 is a lot for the price.
I will use the phone over the next week and give an update on battery, the camera and gaming. So to finish if your thinking about getting the Honor 9A for a certain budget then do it as you won't be disappointed. A further update to follow.
Updated 29th July
Some pictures I've taken today in my garden with the Honor 9A. There's not as many functions like the Honor 20 or some of the more expensive phones have. But it does the job. For a 13mp, 5mp and 2mp camera setup the pictures are not to bad. But what do you expect from a phone at this price range. But you get a better camera setup than some other phones at that price range.
Something I love on this phone and on Android 10.1 is the new Celia Voice assistant which after playing with it found it better than Google and Siri.
Update Gaming on the Honor 9A 31st July 2020. The Honor 9A done quite well playing call of duty mobile but settings are set to low which doesn't help the quality of the display but still playable. However it did play the game well with with no lag and it loaded the game quite quick. To play this game anyway is really good again for the value and specs of this phone.

Question huawei p50 pro issues

Hello, I just bought Huawei P50 Pro and as soon as I got it, it had a system update. I did it and from then, it gets hot after a short time of using it, especially in camera. Also when I try to take a video, it records fine and when I go to watch it, it stucks or say "error playing the media", or the video finishes immediately. And another problem I think is with the battery. 5 hours maximum until it shuts down,and it's warm. It's like services are running at the background. I don't know what's happening. All these I think in system update 12.0.1.221. And also I think that something is going on with the zoom. When I zoom in, until 3.1 it's OK, but from 3.2x until 100x it's so blur. So bad. Is it a software problem? It's the second day I use the phone. I've just updated the software to the 12.0.1.223 version but unfortunately no results in the zoom section

I had p40 pro and the zoom was incredible. After the 4x or 5x zoom, it starts blurring, and it's not clean. Do you know, is it OK? I don't think that p40 pro has better, a lot better zoom than p50 pro

Man so many trouble there! I would do a completely factory reset and i'll check again and in case i would go for warranty

Hahaha yeap. The truth is that after update, it seems a little better.
The photos are 1x 3x and 10x
Maybe the photos are good. I don't know The video is incredible but I don't know about photos.

Photos are exceptional too except the ultrawide camera that for me is average. Video are awesome too especially the audio!!!

yeah,the video is amazing. The biggest problem i think is the battery.
From 100% to 4% only 4 hours and 45 minutes on screen.
i had the Iphone 12 Pro Max and the battery lasted 9 to ten hours on screen! It's a big difference.
I heard that the emui has many problems,with stability,perfomance etc...
I'm looking on installing the harmonyOS. I think it's possible.

You won't solve too much by insytalling or trying installing HOS. The "Problem" is hardware releted. Snapdragon 888 is the answer. If we could get a Kirin chipset we will get muuuuuch better battery life out of it, Americans decided that Huawei was becoming so much better with smartphones and they banned them. I'm getting same battery life as you but for me is ok, consider also that IPhone is much thickness than Huawei, and to be honest Huawei p50 pro is much better holding it in my hands than the square design of any iPhone 12 or more....

I hope that huawei will fix the software and the battery management cause this is so unfair
But i'll try to install the HOS to see what's happening there and let u know
Maybe it's better ,who knows

Are you using the snapdragon version or the Kirin version ?

I'm using the snapdragon version. But after the update it seems more stable. It has some bugs, like moon (it doesn't recognizes it) or the zoom photo (how clean is) but I think it Wil be fixed.

Wide on night mode is TRAGIC.

Battery is still -.-
