Xiaomi Mi 4C specifications: What to expect from the Xiaomi Mi 4C

The Mi 4C from Xiaomi is one of few new phones to support USB Type-C rather than Micro-USB for charging and data transfer. Currently there's the OnePlus 2, new MacBook,Chromebook Pixel and a few Chinese devices you probably won't have heard of. However, we're about to see many more USB Type-C devices with tomorrow's launch of Android Marshmallow, the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, with support for USB Type-C built into the new operating system.

In fact, the Mi 4C is the first USB Type-C phone to also support Qualcomm Quick Charge (the OnePlus 2 does not). This means you can drastically reduce charging time for the phone's built-in 3080mAh lithium-polymer battery. (Also read our Tronsmart USB Type-C Quick Charge car charger review.)

The Xiaomi Mi 4C doesn't ship with Android Marshmallow, of course, having been announced prior to its release. This Xiaomi phone runs Android 5.1 Lollipop with MIUI 7 out of the box.

As we mentioned above, there are two variants of the Mi 4C, with a cheaper model offering 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, and a more expensive version offering 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM. At the time of writing we are awaiting our review sample of the 16GB model in black from Geekbuying; the phone is also available in pink, blue, yellow and white. Also see:Best phones 2015.

Both phones feature a 1.8GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor with a 5in full-HD (1920x1080) IPS display. They are dual-SIM phones, with both SIMs able to operate on 4G LTE networks, and both feature a 13Mp rear camera with LED flash.
