Xiaomi Mi4
Hardware

It has a 2.5 GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB. This ensures a lag free experience even on heavy usage. It comes with 16/64GB internal storage which is more than enough for day-to-day uses.

Software

It comes out of the box with Android 4.3.3 Jellybean with the customized MIUI. The MIUI removes the app drawer of the default Android and puts everything on the home screen just like the IPhone.
The company also announced its next MIUI version, MIUI 6, will launch on August 16 and is expected to be running on the Mi 4.

Xiaomi Mi4

Design:

Undeniably, from afar, the black Mi 4's front face and frame reminds us of the iPhone 5 or 5s, but you have to give credit to Foxconn and HiP (Xiaomi and its partners) for the extra work gone into crafting the metal parts.
Apparently the shimmering chamfer alone takes more than six hours to manufacture. They've also included a nano-coating to the edges to deter fingerprints and liquids. The resulting design is a 6.75mm-wide body that comfortably rests in your hand, and the phone only weighs 149g.

Camera:


The 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera on the Xiaomi Mi 4 are both of top quality. Both the cameras are sporting Sony's stacked CMOS sensors which are a top of the line sensor.

Xiaomi Mi4

Storage:


The storage provided by this device is quite satisfactory as it has a minimum of 16GB of internal storage. There is also a 64GB variant available.

Battery Output:


The 3080mAh Li-ion battery is more than enough for a normal day’s usage and enables you to use the phone to its very limit.
  

A threat to Apple?:


Well in China it most certainly is a threat to Apple. 95 % of device in Chinese market are Xiaomi’s. In global market Xiaomi has 6% market share which is just a percent short of Apple’s. Xiaomi is set to overtake Apple soon especially if the Iphone 6 will be highly priced.


Xiaomi Mi4

Conclusion:


Xiaomi has ushered in a new race in the smartphone market with its Mi series. The Mi4 has all the specifications and quality to dominate the market. The question is how well will the people like it.
