Xiaomi wasn’t able to impress some due to it’s price. Mi4 was released when one of the biggest hit of all times, OnePlus One was there. It had almost all the specs listed above plus 4G connectivity.

Now, with the price cut, Xiaomi expects to ramp up the sales of its current flagship phone in India. The company launched the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro in China, but is yet to bring those smartphones to India. There’s a launch event happening on April 23, where rumors suggest an inferior variant of Mi 4 is coming, touted the Mi 4i. Going by the leaks, it’ll come with a 4.9-inch Full HD display, Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM and most probably 4G LTE support as well.
