With less than a week separating now from the launch of the Xiaomi Mi 4c, more and more leaks and rumours are starting to come out. Interestingly, there’s also a little official info thrown in this time.
Top Xiaomi exec Bin Lin has confirmed that the upcoming phone will have a Snapdragon 808 processor and a USB Type-C port. Both features had been long rumoured for the phone, but today’s development should bring the rumours to an end.
The phone will be formally announced 22nd September. A couple different variants of the device are expected, with varying RAM capacities and perhaps even storage.
Gizchina News of the week
USB Type-C is finally starting to be adopted at a much wider scale than say, the start of the year. LeTV was the first Android phone maker to have shipped its devices with USB Type-C (Nokia’s N1 was the first tablet), which was soon followed by the OnePlus 2.
Besides USB Type-C and a Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor, the Mi 4c will have a 13 mega-pixel rear camera, a 5 mega-pixel front facing camera, a 5-inch screen and a 3120mAh battery. All of this is very reminiscent of the Xiaomi Mi 4i, a phone which didn’t fare as well on the market as Xiaomi would’ve liked. The company would be hoping to make amends with the Mi 4c.
Definitively my next phone if it will become soon available on international markets and it has the price tag of the Mi4i or (very unlikely) less
Itl get the same price treatment at the beginning so at least 260 for 2 weeks
