Xiaomi MI4 Hands on Preview

The burgeoning giant in the smartphone space, Xiaomi, today finally launched its flagship handset in India. Dubbed the Mi4, it is the successor to the very popular and usually sold out Mi3 handset that was launched in India earlier last year. It’s been a long while coming and today we finally got a chance to touch and feel the handset in our own grubby paws. Does the phone stand out amongst its competitors? Can it make as big a dent as the original Mi3 did? We’ll test that out in our review but for now here are our first impressions. 

The phone has a dramatically different facade when compared to the original handset. Gone is the relatively bulky build with large bezels and aluminum construction. Instead you get a glass and stainless steel shell. The front has a 5inch 1080p display manufactured by JDI with Sharp as a backup supplier. The screen pixel density is 441ppi and Xiaomi claims that the panel covers 95% of the NTSC gamut. In our brief time with the phone, we certainly weren’t able to test that claim however the screen is quite a beauty. Outdoor visibility was perfectly good with nice and punchy colors throughout. What we can foresee being a problem is the super glossy nature of the handset and the display in particular.

The company is very proud of the stainless steel shell that goes around the phone and gives it an uncanny iPhone like appearance, more so because of the chamfered edges. Drilled holes for the speaker grille are placed along the bottom edge right next to the microUSB port. Xiaomi claims that the production process for the stainless steel metal frame involves 40 steps and 193 processes with the CNC milling alone requiring 8 different steps. The final chamfer process requires about 6 hours of processing time over 13 steps. We certainly appreciate the attention to detail here but frankly speaking, the far more original design of the Xiaomi Note appears much more eye catching.

Over at the back of the phone you’ll spot a 13MP camera with an f/1.8 aperture. The same goes for the front facing camera which drops the resolution to 8MP but still keeps the f1.8 lens. Both the cameras have Sony’s stacked sensors. We’ll have more on the camera in our full review. The rest of the back of the phone is rather unremarkable. Xiaomi will be selling back panels with nifty design patterns that make your phone stand out should you decide to opt for one.

And that brings us to the internals of the handset. Powered by a Snapdragon 801 chipset clocked at 2.5Ghz, it is not the absolute latest in Qualcomm’s line of smartphone processors but it is certainly high end enough. This is paired with 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM and you’ll realize that you won’t be left wanting for power on this phone. Powering all of that is a 3080 Li-Po battery that is rated for about 1.5days of mixed use. Since the phone supports Qualcomm’s QuickCharge technology, you’ll be able to top off your battery to about 60% within 1 hour. The Indian variant of the Mi4 will not support LTE which is quite disappointing. However a bigger disappointment is that you’ll only be getting the 16GB variant in India. And since the Mi4 does not support memory expansion, avid media & gaming buffs are in for a lot of frustration. The available 12GB of free storage is just not sufficient.

All in all, the phone is a decent offering that unfortunately has competition that offers more for about the same amount of money. Do I like the Mi4? Yes. Would I buy it? I would personally wait for the 64GB variant but that’s just me. The Xiaomi Mi4 is priced at Rs. 19,999 in India and goes on sale on 10th Feb with registrations opening today. Let us know in the comments section if the phone excites you or if you’d rather go for something like the OnePlus One.

Can not mount (umount) cache, sysytem etc.

Make sure you use a brush twrp Recovery Kit: HM1S-Sysrec.zip

Before proceeding! ! !

Could not help but want to say:

I also suggest that the Brush risk, this is you volunteer, do not blame me in it. . . .

Hello everyone, I am a Gautam recalled.

Everyone with red rice 1S Unicom / Telecom version of the installation and the effects of the dual system of video presentations.

This program is one of my early ideas, but recently have time to complete.

Here the dual system, the device is used on both jacket Andrews version of the system is not running the two systems simultaneously.

So there will be no use of the dual system, the phone will be card problem, run only one system, the other is not running.

The role of the dual system is that you can use every day one system and the other is used to test and experience some of the newly released rom.

This rom playing machine enthusiasts and developers, is very helpful.

Another will not be any impact between the two systems, because they are independent, of course, in the latter, I'd make the data of the two systems coexist.

That data coexist: On a system installed the software can be run on another system.But for now, I have not been able to achieve.

This program does not require the user to modify any system files and content.

As long as I have provided in accordance with the method, you can install any of the two systems, and can be changed at any time.

Like computer dual systems, but is simpler than a computer. Because I have put all operations are inflicted fool is operated.

Two systems such as video can easily switch directly by software.

Dual system, you do not have to worry about new rom released official or private, to test the experience and clear data to reinstall the system.

If not used, you have to brush back to the original system, but also to restore the data, which would be particularly troublesome.

Dual system, as long as the rom installed on another system, not with the direct switch back on the line.

Dual system encountered a problem, remember microblogging feedback oh!

Note: Not syhost reference method, this is my plan early

First, before the installation instructions:

1. Installation is simple, but I will explain in detail, it may be a bit more than words, watching might feel a bit complicated, but the whole operation is a fool.

2. The installation process does not require a computer, you only need to use the phone and tools I offer package and follow the step by step tutorial to operate my offer.

3. The installation process if the phone can not boot up, do not get excited, definitely not your operation, again according to the tutorial to do it again.

4. ******* install a dual system will format the built-in memory card, back up your data before using *******

5. Once installed ******* can not use a wire brush official dual system tools, only brush card, there is not much impact, but I will try to think of ways ******

6. or reminder, any brush machine operation has risks, be careful line, the problem caused by the brush with the author unrelated.

Second, the phone has conditions:

1. The phone must if red rice 1S Telecom or China Unicom version version

2. The phone will need to install a third-party recovery, when I tested with TWRP

3. Brush the phone as much as possible into the system with root privileges (this condition is not required)

Third, the dual system installation and uninstallation methods:

1. Prepare the work

a. The tools I offer packages HM1S-System-Menu.zip, download and put the phone memory card

b. the phone's memory card must have a brush package, we'd need to install two, does not exclude you install two identical

End dual system installation tutorial! But you also need to know the following information! !!

Instructions:

1. This tool must have shortcomings, such as the problems encountered in the process, please use the feedback to my microblogging

2. The so-called lack of intelligence is not a lot of features, such as the current system is not yet functional tool (the latter will join) identification operation which needs to know the current system, or data will confuse

Step 3. Install the tutorial just figured I probably, not to be rigid rigidly follow suit, this tool is very flexible, you can use a few of their own free operation

3. Switch software and HM1S-System-Menu.zip the system can achieve switching system switching function

4. Install the switch software, be sure to pay attention to is that the current system is necessary to install the system in which the toolbox, or switched data and system will go wrong

5. When switching system, which must pay attention to the current system, we must choose to switch to another system, if they choose to switch to the current system data will be wrong

6. Install or uninstall a dual system, all things are restored, there is no way the case can be used

7. This tool will continue to improve in the future, remember to check the process of using the support of Oh!

Installation ideas:

A lot of oil, said the installation is unsuccessful, I am here to talk about the idea, we first need to install the dual system

Then we have two air systems, so now can not boot, we need systems

First, install the first system, install the system and the card the same brush step, the installation will be able to boot up

The next step is to install the second system, the system is now in one, certainly can not install a second system

So we can install a key switch system software, or directly with a tool bag system switching function to switch to the second system

After the two switching systems, because there is no loading system is empty, so you can not open the opportunity card MI

So we re-enter into recovery, brush a rom, so the system is installed the two

Then a key switch software installation system, two, or direct switching system inside the toolkit, you can enter the system one of the

Then you can easily switch the two systems

After the installation of the system you want to delete one system to another system retains how to do?

Since the data of the two systems in a data area, with clear data recovery will erase the data of the two systems

Therefore, the current function of the system data toolkit provides clear, as long as you want to switch the system to switch to

Use the toolkit to clear the current function of the system

Then you want to brush brush rom, switching software installed on it

YU YUREKA vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G

 Even though solid hardware is important for a smartphone, software with regular software updates and competitive pricing are important for the success of a smartphone. Micromax intelligently roped in Cyanogen Inc. for its first YU branded device and launched the YU Yureka budget smartphone last month running Cyanogen OS at Rs. 8,999. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4g went on sale in India last month for Rs. 9,999. Both the smartphones are competitively priced and come with 4G connectivity. You might have already seen the comparing the YU YUREKA and the Xiaomi Redmi Note. The Redmi Note 4G has the same design, but the internals are slightly different. We decided to compare these smartphones.

 Let’s start with the display. Both these smartphones have 5.5-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) IPS display with a pixel density of about 267ppi. The viewing angles, brightness, contrast, sharpness and color reproduction are better in the YU YUREKA. Since the Redmi Note 4G’s screen is reflective, sunlight legibility is not the best. As you can see, the contrast is better in the YUREKA, compared to Redmi Note 4G in which the contrast and colors are muted. Both these smartphones have Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

Both the smartphones have a 5-megapixel fixed-focus front-facing camera, proximity and ambient light sensors on the front, above the display.

Both the phones have capacitive touch buttons below the display. The touch buttons on the Yureka is illuminated and the home button is colored, while the buttons on the Redmi Note 4G are just colored. Height and width of both the smartphones are almost similar.

The Yureka’s back cover has matte finish that extends to the sides, whereas the Redmi Note 4G’s shiny back cover extends to the side of the smartphone. The Yureka is 8.8mm thick, whereas the Redmi Note 4G is slightly thicker at 9.45mm. Only the power button is present on the right side of the Yureka, while both the power button and the volume rockers are present on that side of the Redmi Note. These hardware buttons on both the smartphones have chrome finish. All the slot placements are similar in both the smartphones.

Coming to the camera, both the smartphones have a 13-megapixel rear camera with single LED flash. The Yureka has a Sony Exmor RS IMX135 sensor and 5P lenses. The Redmi Note 4G comes with a Samsung sensor. Both the smartphones can record videos at 1080p resolution at 30fps. The Yureka can also record slow motion 720p video at 60fps.

Comparing the image quality in all the aspects, the Yu Yureka captures better photos overall with more details in shadows. Low light images had a lot of noise, but images with flash doesn’t look washed out. The Redmi Note 4G had weird vignetting and the images are not properly focused. Low light photos are softer but devoid of noise and images with flash are washed out. Yu has much better output compared to the Mi, in all conditions. Check out some comparison images (Click the images to view the full resolution sample). The first one is Yureka and second is Redmi Note 4G.

Both these run on Android KitKat. The YU YUREKA runs on highly customizable Cyanogen OS 11 based on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) that is almost stock, while the Redmi Note 4G comes has MIUI v5 ROM based on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat). Xiaomi usually pushes out regular updates adding new features and fixing bugs. They also have beta version of MIUI ROM for their devices so that users could try out new features early. YU has promised to offer monthly updates for the Yureka users. Both the company have promised to offer Lollipop updates for the smartphones, but no details about the time frame about the roll out.

Coming to the build quality, both the smartphones have good build, but the YU YUREKA’s matte back cover looks premium and doesn’t attract fingerprint, compared to Redmi Note 4G’s shiny plastic back cover that is prone to fingerprints. At 155 grams, the Yureka is considerably light than the Redmi Note 4G that weighs 185 grams. The rounded design and shiny finish makes the Redmi Note 4G slip easily from your hands.

Both the smartphones support 4G with support of 4G LTE bands (TDD B40 2300MHz and FDD B3 1800MHz) for India. The Yureka has two micro SIM slots. Both these slots support 4G, but only one SIM can use 4G at a time while the other remains in 2G. The Redmi Note 4G has a single mini or normal SIM slot. Both these have Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS support.

The YU YUREKA is powered by a Octa-Core 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (4×1.5GHz ARM Cortex A53 + 4×1.0GHz ARM Cortex A53) processor with Adreno 405 GPU. The Xiaomi Redmi Note is powered by a Quad-Core Snapdragon 400 processor (MSM8226) which has four ARM Cortex-A7 cores clocked at 1.59 GHz per core and comes with Adreno 305. Both these smartphone have 2GB of RAM. Of course the Octa-Core 64-bit Snapdragon 615 is way better that the Snapdragon 400 SoC in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G in terms of performance since the eight ARM Cortex A53 SoCs are powerful compared to four ARM Cortex A7 chips, but the Snapdragon 615 chip in Yureka gets heated quickly on gaming and 3G/4G usage compared to Snapdragon 410 on the Redmi Note 4G. Gaming is also better in Yureka since the Adreno 405 GPU is more powerful compared to Adreno 305 GPU.
                                            Even though both the smartphones have 2GB of RAM, the Yureka has 1912MB of usable RAM, out of which 1.3GB of RAM is free when the phone is idle. In the Redmi Note 4G 1872MB of RAM is usable, out of which about 1.27GB of RAM is free when it is idle. Regarding the internal storage, the Yureka has 16GB of internal storage, out of which 12.80GB of storage is available. The Redmi Note 4G comes with 8GB of internal storage, out of which 6.1GB is available. Both the smartphones have option to move compatible apps from the internal storage to the SD card and have USB OTG support.

Coming to battery life, the 2500mAh battery in Yureka lasted for 8 hours and 8 minutes in our battery test, compared to Redmi Note 4G’s 3100mAh battery that lasted for 9 hours and 16 minutes. The Redmi Note 4G lasted for just 5 hours and 52 minutes in our video playback test, compared to 9 hours and 5 minutes in Yureka. The Redmi Note 4G performs better in other battery tests, hence the overall result is better than the Yureka. Check out couple of battery test comparison charts below.

In the end, the YU YUREKA is better in several aspects compared to the Redmi Note 4G and is also slightly cheaper. It is definitely a good value for money smartphone. The major problem is the availability of both the smartphones. Only 10,000 smartphone went on sale today, January 13th, but the company has promised to increase the units in upcoming sales. Compared to Yureka, more number of units of Redmi Note 4G units are available. Xiaomi sold out 40000 unit of Redmi Note 4g in the first sale and 50,000 units in the second sale. The Redmi Note 4G is also available from Airtel Showrooms in six cities across India.

Concluding, the advantages of the YU Yureka are camera, performance and dual SIM support with 4G connectivity on both. Advantages of the Redmi Note 4G over the YU YUREKA include slightly better battery life, better availability and no heating issues.
