14 DAY TRIAL // Not so long ago, Xiaomi unveiled its affordable flagship, the Mi4c, in China. The phone comes with a great spec list and sells for an affordable $230 / €205, so it will surely become one of the company’s best sellers soon enough.
Xiaomi is currently selling the devices in China and has a spin-off, the Mi4i, available for purchase in India too. Still, we’ll probably see the phone be made available via third-party re-sellers soon enough.
But even if the phone is a bargain, Xiaomi seems to have put a lot of effort in building it. This aspect can be clearly observed by looking at this new video showing the process of building a Mi4c device in factory. The clip has been shared by Xiaomi itself and shows us how the company tests the phones too, before releasing them on the market.
As you can see, the devices are subjected to various tests to determine whether they can survive shocks, scratches and water, and to what amount.
Xiaomi Mi4c is a mid-ranger with great specs
For those of you who forgot, we’re taking an opportunity to talk about what the Xiaomi Mi4c is all about. The handset made an appearance online with a 5-inch Sunlight Display (the same that adorns the front of the Mi4i) with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, and it draws life from a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor.
The company is offering customers a choice here, they can either opt for a version with 2GB of RAM plus 16GB of internal storage or go for a 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage variant. The difference is in price, naturally.
In the photography department, the Mi4c keeps the 13MP main shooter the Mi4i has (either Sony IMX258 or Samsung S5KM2 sensor on board), but there’s a novel Phase Detection Autofocus feature being thrown into the mix in the new model. The front is home to a decent 5MP selfie shooter.
The Mi4c relies on a 3,080 mAh battery and has Quick Charge 2.0 and a USB Type-C port. However, if customers want, they will be able to use microUSB for charging, because the phone supports both standards.
So go take a look and see how the beautiful Mi4c gets assembled in factory.
