Just moments before the Mi 5 was revealed to the world, Xiaomi had also announced the Mi 4S. This is yet another well spec smartphone and it is now available in Malaysia thanks to grey importer DirectD. Being a Mi flagship, it gets a full metal frame with glass covering both front and back. Like the newer Xiaomi smartphones, it also gets a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Slotting itself right above the Mi 4c, the Mi 4S retains a compact 5″ Full HD display and it is powered by a Snapdragon 808 processor with 3GB RAM and a whopping 64GB of on-board storage. If that’s not enough, it also accepts microSD card up to 128GB in its hybrid dual-SIM tray, contrary to its earlier stance on expandable storage.
In terms of imaging, it gets a 13MP f/2.0 main camera with PDAF and dual-tone LED flash while the front sports a 5MP f/2.0 shooter that has an 85 degree wide angle lens. Both cameras shoot videos up to 1080p. Connectivity wise, it supports 4G LTE-A up to Cat 9, VoLTE and faster 802.11ac WiFi. Keeping the lights on is a generous 3,260mAh battery that supports Quick Charge 2.0. Out of the box, it runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop with MIUI 7 skin on top.
In China, the Mi 4S is priced at 1,699 CNY which is about RM1,070. For us folks in Malaysia, you can get the imported unit at RM1,399 from DirectD and it is covered with their own 1-year warranty. Only the white and gold colour options are available at time of writing. If you’re interested, you can head over to their Mi 4S product page.
