The Xiaomi Mi 4S follows the lead of Mi 4C and Mi 4i handsets which were introduced last year. Both of those phones were quite capable, and the Mi 4S is actually quite similar to the Mi 4C in terms of specs, though its design is quite different. The Xiaomi Mi 4C features a 5-inch fullHD (1920 x 1080, 441ppi) display, along with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable internal storage. This smartphone is fueled by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 808 64-bit hexa-core processor, which ships with an Adreno 418 GPU. The Mi 4S comes with 4G LTE (with VoLTE) support, and packs in a 3,260mAh non-removable battery. This device is made out of metal and glass, and it sports a rear-facing fingerprint scanner.

Speaking of which, the Mi 4S features a 13-megapixel (PDAF) camera on the back, while there’s a 5-megapixel snapper available up front. This is a dual-SIM smartphone, and it will ship with Android 6.0 Marshmallow pre-installed, and Xiaomi’s MIUI 7 OS available on top of it. Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 fast charging is also a part of this package, and there’s also an infrared sensor on the top side of the device.
