As per the benchmarking database, the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop based Xiaomi Mi 4i will make use of a 64 bit octa core Snapdragon 615 processor ticking at 1.65 GHz clock speed paired with 2 GB of RAM. This makes the Mi 4i less powerful in comparison to the Mi 4 smartphone with a 2.5 GHz quad core Snapdragon 801 processor teamed up with 3 GB of RAM.

The specifications of the Mi 4i as revealed by these websites make it similar to the yet to be announced Xiaomi device codenamed Ferrari that was spotted in the benchmark database lately. The benchmark listing shows that the device might arrive with a 4.9 inch Full HD 1080p display, Adreno 405 graphics unit aiding the processor, a 12 MP main snapper, a 4.8 MP front-facing selfie shooter and 16 GB of native storage space.

As of now, there is no clear information on when the Xiaomi Mi 4i will be launched or what it’s pricing will be. It is known that the CEO & Founder Lei Jun, President & Co-Founder Bin Lin, and VP Xiaomi Global Hugo Barra will be present at the upcoming global premier to be hosted by Xiaomi.
