Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Xiaomi Mi4C Review!”.
Bold classy and sophisticated this is the xiaomi me 4c and welcome to my full review now. The model i have here has 16 gigabytes of memory and 2 gigabytes of ram and costs 245. When you realize, what’s inside, that’s a heck of a good value for money to begin with, we have the snapdragon 808 processor. Now you know that is the same chip in the lg g4 and that also has a 2k panel.
So, on a 1080p one like the one we have here, it has outstanding performance scoring well over 50 000 on antutu, blazing through all the latest 2d 2.5 d and 3d titles. The mi4c has more power than any phone from last year with the most powerful offerings. Having the snapdragon 801, this chip is much much better and you can tell in almost everything you do, whether it’s scrolling through the ui flicking through menus or using google maps, to navigate your way home.
It’S very very snappy, there’s something which is quite difficult to describe about this phone, which isn’t present in cheaper phones like the redmi note 2. But it has this feel of sophistication and class, which is very rarely found. This is a unibody design and it fits gorgeously in hand. The finish they’ve chosen is about as good as it gets for plastic. It’S matte and it doesn’t attract too many fingerprints. It just feels very, very compact and well made. We’Ve also got the quite controversial usb type-c, which at the minute doesn’t really bring too many benefits with it, but hopefully in the future, we’ll start to see a use for it. So, like the redmi note, 2, the mi4c also runs miui, and the operating system is very, very similar based off the latest and greatest android 5.1, but looking nothing like it. This is a slick, smooth and very, very customizable experience.
It’S not for everybody, though it’s kind of tending more towards a childish playful look than android’s clean, sophisticated flat look. It does, however, take advantage of the touchscreen display. It uses things like gestures, things like scrolling even from the home screen, just to be able to very quickly achieve what you want to, so it is still in a sense just as functional as stock android. You just need to get used to it. There’S also some really cool extra settings, things like a child mode and my favorite is edge controls, giving just two taps on the side of the phone.
Not even touching the screen will actually allow you to go back, and this can also be used to trigger things. Such as taking photos in the camera app, it’s very, very cool, there’s a multi-colored notification light and also tons of audio effects, but this is generally tailored to xiaomi products like the xiaomi earphones and doesn’t really do much for generic ones. Battery life was also great. The 3080 million power battery pushed me quite easily into my second day of usage.
Now the camera was good, but not fantastic. As with almost every phone. These days it has a 13 megapixel sensor and the images it produces in the correct lighting conditions actually do make. That justified we’re getting much more color in shots than with the redmi note 2, and the shutter time is also faster, but still not as fast as sort of flagship devices, with maybe a snapdragon 810 or the exynos 7420. And while the images do have plenty of detail, video is not too great, with the only shooting at 1080p at 30 frames per second. So now we’ll take a quick, listen to the speakers of the me4c okay, so that wasn’t my sort of typical sound test.
I normally use a song of some sort, but hopefully it helped illustrate that voices do come out very nicely and you can also hear a lot of layers to the music plenty of background tunes going on, and so, although it’s not overwhelming in terms of bass, it Has actually quite a nice sound, i really really wish it was, but the mi4c isn’t perfect. It does have quite a lot of bloatware on which means you really don’t have too much space for apps. You need to get an sd card.
On top of that, a lot of the phone is tailored to chinese audience. It’S in chinese language and doesn’t really feel like a western, offering the whole phone is, of course usable, but it just feels in certain parts of the menus and stuff that they’ve not done a great job clearing it up. So that is it guys.
This is the mi4c. It wipes the floor with the previous me4i and improves on it in almost every single way, and what’s left is an extremely good value for money, offering with a faster processor, improved design and better camera. The mi4c is very hard to resist. Thanks a lot for watching guys, i’m mr who’s, the boss – and this is insanely cool tech, .
