I've had this device up and running here in the states for almost two weeks now. Don't listen to the haters, this thing is solid and is replacing my ol' nexus 5 (may she rest in peace) as my daily workhorse. It came out of the box "googlefied" and thankfully in english. It's very snappy and I really like miui; think ios but android... sound awesome? It is. The build quality is excellent, I can't find a single blemish (I'm a bit OCD on the matter so you should take my word) Xiaomi has made something real here and I'm thoroughly impressed with it. My gf is totally jealous now and is wanting the mi5 when it comes out...
+Jim Morrison If you don't mind me asking, what kind of connection are you getting? I'm almost certain there won't be LTE support in the US. Are you getting HSPA+ as your main connection?
+TrueZtyleZ7 You are correct sir no LTE hspa+ only. Coming from lte it's really not that bad, I'm living comfortably with it right now. Non LTE has its advantages tho like my bill...it's less than $10 month

just put the phone into high performance mode to get maximum out of it and of course the notification. don't blame xiaomi. they do it for battery performance
Nathaniel Alvin My phone overheated when i was charging it and it was under the pillow, it overheated but by cleaning the ram which is located in recent apps, it decreases the heating issues.Battery life is good has 3000mah but fast charging and i love the battery
this or redmi note 3 pro 3gb? i love gaming but i do like taking picture too. based on a few review the mi4c camera is better but the performance note 3 pro is better.
Krisha Anne Amada i've already buy mi4c , the design fits to me, i use it for more ore less 4 months it still work like when i just bought it, but remember to change the distributor rom to china stable pr china developer for perfect taste.
Krisha Anne Amada basically because of major bad review of the camera, i think i may not forever gaming,and for the micro sd,it dont really metters to me cz of its internal storage 32, already more than enough to me. ok no prob bro,however, choose what you need
seems like a cool device but w/ all the bloat, malware, notification issues, LTE etc. seems like more harm than its worth, esp. for users in the States???
+Kenjionigod This etremely rare. No malware if you buy from merimobiles.com, honorbuy.com etc. I have mi3 and redmi 3. zero malware. this might be some kind of video trying to scare people off xiaomi.
+Wojtek Dabrowski That's not a good solution at all - I had an xperia Z2 (the same size as S5) and it bended and cracked in my pocked while I was getting on my bicycle. I had pretty comfortable trousers on, nothing too tight. So if a phone can't withstanad even being in the pocket then it's too big. If you keep your phone in a bag then you can have even a 6 inch phone if you like, but for the front pocket in the trousers I wouldn't go with anything over 5 inch.
Good job on this very detailed review! Just ordered this phone
May I ask where you bought this from because my phone never came with all this bloat and malware
One of the best reviews I've seen!

Very good review.
I think I'm going to wait for the Mi 5 Plus this February.
Either way you win
Jim Morrison yes. Now I must decide.... 509 vs 1300 for a S7...
Wich is better ZenFone selfie, Mi4c or LG G4s.
** What about the pre-installed malware stuff? Is it still valid in 2016 with MIUI8? How easy is it to install the 8th version w. google store ?
Thanks
what about the sibling, the Mi4i?
Do a review of mi 4s please.
is it availbale in egypt if it is how much it is
Which rom you install in it? Can you give me the link
multi lang rom miui 8.
xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-9-8-9.34062/
What wallpaper is that?
Can I run emulators on this like Dolphin ? how are the graphics ?
So what's the difference between mi4 (c & I) vs redmi note 2???
+w35t51d369 size and qualcomm vs mediatek
Vale mais a pena o xiaomi mi4c ou o xiaomi redmi note 3 pro.?
Redmi note 3 pro
Is it better than the Asus zenfone 2? Camera?
+Kamilar135 The Zenfone has an Atom processor and this has a Snapdragon 808. All I have to say...
You have to LOCK instant messenging applications (to run constantly) if you want to GET notifications. So this is not a bug, I guess!
how to lock what do u mean ? i want a constant notification :/
im definetly going to buy 3gb ram version its far best in its price range
how cn i buy this phone in india
just put the phone into high performance mode to get maximum out of it and of course the notification. don't blame xiaomi. they do it for battery performance
how to put into performance ??.. its got delay with notification.. and the green light doesnt appear sometimes.. :s
bazz 1993 it's under the "battery and performance" setting.
you can also find it in notification shortcuts.
This phone is nice Im using it right now. Feel free to ask me for questions.
Pedo Lovez does it overheat? and how's the battery life?
Nathaniel Alvin My phone overheated when i was charging it and it was under the pillow, it overheated but by cleaning the ram which is located in recent apps, it decreases the heating issues.Battery life is good has 3000mah but fast charging and i love the battery
Nathaniel Alvin I play hardcore games on thid phone and I must say this phone is impressive.
Pedo Lovez are you using miui 8? or custom rom?
Nik Klavzar for me there is no delay but some games lags when overheating
this or redmi note 3 pro 3gb? i love gaming but i do like taking picture too. based on a few review the mi4c camera is better but the performance note 3 pro is better.
me too
I'm also interested in this, can you answer?
Yaiza Yarome i go for redmi note 3 pro 3 gb

Very unlucky getting some viruses. Never experienced that with my Xiaomi phones.
xiaomi MI 4c vs mi4??? any idea?
+Faisal HB Mi4C without a doubt for performance and Mi4 for build quality.
+Abdur Rahman and Asus zenfone 2 4gb vs xiaomi mi4c in performance and camera?? please need answer
Xiaomi mi4c has advanced camera than Zenfone 2. Performance wise, xiaomi mi4c has an edge especially in gpu department.
+Abdur Rahman but xiaomi doesn't offer extra card shot :(
+Faisal HB mi4 already obsolete when mi 4c came out.
Has this smartphone a colorful emoji?
how much free RAM you get?
1 of 2 , and 1,7 of 3
why plastic back cover??? otherwise the phone is great..
+Brendan Dijkstra thanx ..
Gps?
I wouldn't trust a phone that came with malware, at all.
+Kenjionigod This etremely rare. No malware if you buy from merimobiles.com, honorbuy.com etc. I have mi3 and redmi 3. zero malware. this might be some kind of video trying to scare people off xiaomi.
+PS4Addiction You are right. Some sellers do and some don't have malware. Also some do it just to be able to say it has gapps.
Nice
human psychology:
5" Screen -> Too small to enjoy.
5.5" Screen -> Too big to handle comfortably.
6" Screen -> Meh, it's a tablet!
+Abdur Rahman Result?
5.2'' Sony Xperia Z5 :)

Better buy Huawei or Oppo.
Nexus 6p
+Zavier 2323 smart choice.
iphone
Good phone, better check your account.
***** more cores doesnt mean more, performance, most apps still using 1 core per act
I get distracted by his eyes, this makes the review hard to watch although he does his best
That shit looks like a windows phone
SAd the phone can come with Malware software. One big Dislike right there.
So amateur. Using shitty antivirus, when u can install clean rom...
