Which device are you coming from ?

It really seems a great piece of device with good hardware, great specifications, dual sim support among others.

The only reason that I am still weighing this device over lg G4 (about 200$ expensive) is the price.

G4 has to offer these but it all comes to what I need in my phone?
Do I really need a great camera, NFC for payments, wireless charging, Quick charge (30 minutes for 60% charge compared to 2 hours ten minutes for full charge), a removable battery and expandable memory ? Also, the screen pixel density and results are great for LG G4 where screens are a bit dim/ yellowish for some Xiaomi devices.

However, no SDcard and non removable battery seems a bit of deal breaker for this device. Also, i am not a really big fan of MIUI and their reluctance to release source code which makes it difficult for development.

I might get this device in a month as I am still deciding my options between this, Lg G4, and Moto X Style.

You got a point there!

I wonder how the battery life performs on the Xiaomi, also the site i provided has a great deal on that device, thats why i am considering it and i just got a new motherboard that supports usb type c

 

[tlxxxsracer]

I'm wondering how network performance will be.. So used to tmobile LTE speeds

I've got a Mi4 that has a 5" 1080p screen with a 3080 battery. Battery life on this phone is pretty amazing. So I would expect the Mi4C to be just as good or better. Getting 5-6 hours SOT is not a problem. I'm usually at 3 SOT at 50-60% battery.

It's not that bad and it's definitely usable. LTE is nice due to the no latency when transferring data. But the speeds of HSPA+ are plenty for everyday things such as streaming music, web browsing, emails, GPS, etc.

The 4C would work fine on T-Mobile. You would just get 3G/HSPA+.

Now would a Xiaomi device work with Android Wear? How about android pay

 

[NEXixTs]

Yes !

 

[tlxxxsracer]

Interesting..
Gearbest says the mi 4c has "External memory: TF card up to 32GB (not included)"

Does that mean one of the sim car slots could be micro sd?

It will work with Android Wear. I've used it with both my Mi3 and Mi4 when I had my GWatch. You just have to give it the correct permissions in MIUIs permission manager. Also, texts didn't work that well, but it's nothing a 3rd party app like Evolve SMS didn't solve.

You'll probably have issues with Android Pay as the Mi4C doesn't have NFC [emoji6] . I believe only the Mi3 has NFC.

oh, thought it had nfc.. thats kinda a bummer though

 

[Ulver]

Yeah, I wish it had NFC too, but I've been with my Mi4 long enough that it doesn't really bother me. I am seriously debating this phone over the upcoming Nexus phones.

According to the Xiaomi official website, Mi 4c doesn't support TF cards.

Same here. NFC is also my concern...I have already converted to other phones now.

i am little worry about camera . sample photos of Sony's sensor looks great.but i am not sure about the Samsung sensor! how can i trust and get this one. its really perfect phone specially when you considering the price. but i am still don't know what i have to do because camera is important to me .

Well in terms of specs, it beats the Nexus 5X, more ram, battery and has ir blaster. Hopefully camera is good. They both have snapdragon 808 CPU so hoping it gets good ROM support. I'm gonna get this over the disappointing nexus 5x
