Is the Mi 4c still good value?

[CENTSOARER]

This. I like Xiaomi's phones but live in a country where there are not too many options for a budget and not convinced with the Redmi 4A (my only option here besides Mi 4C and Mi 4). I tried buying a Moto G4 plus, stretching my budget a bit, but got the luck of the ghost touch issue which is annoying since it appears randomly and not only while charging. I wouldn't be convinced of the hardware even if I send it to warranty anymore.

So I found this Mi 4C (2 GB RAM) is strong phone for what I can see, I'm kind of a tinkerer and afraid of fingerprint readers, as soon as I'm convinced with the hardware I'm prepared to install custom ROMs.

Thanks for your advice and experience in advance.

I would aim for Redmi 4 prime with snap 625 instead if you can find one with decent price.

Letv LeEco Le 2 X520 is selling for 117.59 USD at TomTop. I would get that one.

To get a 2015 spec flagship for $100 that comes with Nougat sounds like a deal to me.

I don't know about 2GB version's performance, but I have the 3GB version because I have experienced of how 2GB performs. I also happen to have Mi4 (2GB). They are powered by snapdragon 8xx series. I think both are good value and performance devices, even in 2017.
I'm don't play games at all on smartphone. I'm just using it for productivity needs, business and other internet stuffs, and it works quite well and fast for multitasking like switching apps, back and forward, and so on.
The downsides for me are no official global firmware (but no worry, I can't stand MIUI though) and both has 5 inch display which is compact but it's a pain when it comes to spreadsheet..

I recommend Mi4c (4g). The cpu of 808 still works like a charm in the present day.
The prices are down as low as it go.
