The five year old Chinese company has managed to keep pulling
out good devices from under its sleeve at reasonable prices. The company is
furthering the range by introducing new devices in the Mi4 line up. According
to the company's Weibo account, the smartphone will be called Mi 4c and it will
be unveiled on September 24. The company has scheduled to launch the device as
soon as October 3.
The company has also gone on to the extent of sharing the
number of units that will be made available in the first go. They have
mentioned about the production of 1,00,000 devices. Since there will be two
variants of the same phone, we are not sure if the company is talking about the
total number of units or will separately provide 1 lakh devices of each
variant.
The lower variant will sport a 2GB RAM and 16GB internal
memory, whereas the higher variant will have 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal
storage. The lower version was recently spotted on Oppo's online store with a
price of $229 (Roughly Rs.15,300). The higher version is expected to be priced
around Rs.20,000. The Chinese company has not revealed the flagship device of
this year and has way passed the annual update cycle which ended in July. If
earlier reports are to be believed, the company is wanting it to be the first
device to sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset. If this the case, Xiaomi
might launch the next flagship in the first quarter of 2016. Till then the
company is keeping the assembly lines busy with mid-range offerings.
