The only good stuff about the Huawei is their antenna signal and as well much cooler device compare to Snapdragon that can breath fire. laugh.gif Thanks to Kirin SoC. You can cook an egg with Xiaomi Mi4 (SD 801 SoC) so not sure about the SD 615 (2nd Gen)

Sounds like its best to wait for review on the SD 615 2nd gen. Overheating is never nice smile.gif

It's a good upgrade for those using Redmi Note 3G/4G and Mi 3.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Mi3 to Mi4i is a huge downgrade.

Me as Mi3 user, having hard time thinking if I should change to Mi4i.

A few factors that holds me from change to Mi4i is definitely because Mi3 is being propelled by beefy and very capable SoC combo, Snapdragon 800 and Adreno 330.

Another reason is Mi3 has the unique look where makes it stands out and I think outter quality of Mi3 is far better than Mi4i which is more like Honor 4X's quality.

The only advantage of Mi4i has better front facing camera than Mi3 (Mi3 front camera is very bad and noisy in low light, barely usable), I'm not sure about rear camera though. I feel Mi3 is very very decent performer in rear facing camera. Having well balanced post-processing and very good dynamic range.

I don't think jumping from Mi3 to Mi4i is an upgrade.

The lack of a microSD slot is a letdown.

Their mindset is like the old Nokia, one step forward one step backward.

I expect negative comments like yours but... If you think it positively, the features of LTE , Sunlight Display and etc are the upgrade whilst your downgrade are because you prefer much. It reflects your very own preferences only.

If you guys do think of complete mindset, accept what it's produced. They don't please everyone in the market. If a talented and smart person on forum can see through everything, he can managed 16GB well without much complaints. I only see "lesser beings" wanting microSD for their file contents.

The greater beings in human knows how to install, delete and saves only important photos or documents alike. I'm just here saying the truth of the marginal community.

OK. It would be a closely comparative spec if with Mi 3. I am sure because all defend mostly prior to them as Mi 3 fans or users.

Also, it is surely a huge upgrade for those using Redmi 2 , Redmi Note 3G/4G and what not? Mi 3 is still closely comparative enough.

Not to mention, the LTE band.

Just because of the LTE, you though it is upgrade? and also Sunlight Display? lol.

S615 (Mi4i) is middle range processor with lousy GPU where S800 (Mi3) is high-en processor with great GPU.

This Mi4i only suitable for Redmi user (any model) upgrade not for Mi3 because it just simply a big downgrade, except the LTE but do remember strong H+ connection speed in Malaysia never bad until where when compare with Malaysia current LTE speed.

Some more internal 16GB which is really too little without SD card support, maybe enough for you but I am assure majority not enough.

Also, it's a midrange phone and it has features that Mi 3 does not have. You are only assure it is majority just because of online comments. What I only see is negative people is always struck with unsatisfied specs.

It's like saying I own Apple iPhone 6 and I'm not satisfied so I ought to go for iPhone 6s or maybe Blackberry. Always not satisfied is what creates your perception to me.

But it's your choice. I won't bother with all that. Regarding "huge" downgrade, your bold enough to tackle on Xiaomi? Their successful for some reason compared online comments shown. Mi Note is a better upgrade for Mi 3 I admit but Mi 4i is relatively close to be a replace for Mi 3 in certain factor. whistling.gif

As referred to this, Snapdragon 615 is just a bit lower than what has made Snapdragon 800 good of. Both can perform heavy games to a par or good standard to me.

Well, what Danny Andrew trying to argue is means that, the Mi4i is not a flagships device as claimed by Xiaomi. Just like Nokia claimed the Lumia 830 is the affordable flagships, but in facts is not affordable (RM1399) and not flagships (Snapdragon 400).

Mi4i is like same like you said, one steps forward also one steps backward. We have to compromise of having some extra features or hardware, while taking away other good stuff on Mi3.

The Snapdragon 615 is not as bad as we thought, is the Upper Range of Mid-Ranger SoC. Having the same speed of eMMc 4.5 like the Snapdragon 800 in Mi3, but the GPU is better on SD800.

I would say the Mi4i did very well but fitting into between the RM1000+ China Flagships (Honor6, OnePlus One, Mi4) and RM600+ MidRange (Redmi Note, Honor 4X, ZenFone 2) gap.

The only competitor in Malaysia here with the price range I would say is the Padfone S. On the other hands, Xiaomi is trying to Mirror the Apple's iPhone 5C path which even more value device.

You are Redmi 3G user and right for your upgrade.

But you said upgrade for Mi3 user is just simply misleading.

Not people keep posting negative comment, but instead yourself cannot accept the truth.

This mi4i is a great upgrade for Redmi user but never an upgrade for Mi3 user.

I accept the truth of all things, bro. I created this thread so I am pretty knowledgeable. You know why? Facebook have a group called "Mi 3 User" and most of them are posting up 4i including those who wants to upgrade and those who do not want to. Your statement isn't "UNIVERSAL". So, you have flawed in all cases.

If you think some of our comments here does not suit your taste. You may leave. I don't welcome.

I would report any imbeciles at my thread as their failures. I'm the one succeeding in trying to facilitate the users here to maintain neutral and criticize but not to bash as if majority is actually leaning not to upgrade. Ignore him. Elitist nerds tend to be spoonfed pricks at the start without understanding self-satisfied community.

I have sensed negative people and I will report very soon. They deserved it, geeks they are.
