Xiaomi had launched Mi4i back in April, which was the first global launch in India. There has been lot of rumours of late about another variant of Mi4i, called the Mi4c ever since it appeared in benchmarks. Xiaomi has today officially announced the new Mi4c in China. The phone has lot of similarities with respect to the Mi4i, mostly in terms of the design.
Spec wise, the phone comes with a 5 inch Full HD (1080p) display and is powered by the Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz. This is an upgrade from the Snapdragon 615 on the Mi4i. The phone has 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. There is also a 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage variant available.
