Xiaomi have had to tweak the specs of their flagship Mi4 phone to reduce costs, with a reduction in RAM to 2GB, but so far that’s the only hardware change we are aware of. The youth model retains 32GB memory, LTE and a powerful Snapdragon 801 processor.
It is possible that this new low-cost Mi4 will be on sale through resellers ahead of Christmas.

32GB memory? Really? In that case I think this one is better than the classic Mi4 with 3GB/16GB. But I think you meant 2/16, didn`t you?
