The Xiaomi Mi4i (Chinese: 小米手机4i) is a smartphone developed by Xiaomi Inc. It is part of Xiaomi's mid-range smartphone line, and was released in April 2015.[3] Xiaomi held a media event in Siri Fort Auditorium, Delhi[4] to formally introduce the mid-range phone, and also supplied its fans with their complementary smart-accessory, the Xiaomi MiBand, during the Xiaomi New Product Launch Event 2015 on April 23, 2015.

The Mi4i is a slightly bumped down version of its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi4. The phone has different design than its predecessor and has a polycarbonate body. It was also released with the new MIUI 6 (introduced in August 2014) based on Android Lollipop.[5]

Reception towards the device was generally positive,[6] though there were still a high amount of negative feedback from users of Apple's iPhone 5C due to its similar design and quality. Some media companies hailed it to be one of the best smartphones available in the market due to its high-end hardware which is sold for a comparably at a lower price compared to competitor smartphones.

While the device was announced in April 23, it didn't become available until April 30, running MIUI 6 (Android Lollipop Xiaomi launched the Mi4i specifically in India first and plans to expand sales throughout Asia. For now, customers in India who are interested would be able to purchase it from Flipkart online, through a flash sale held every Thursday, beginning from the 30th of April.[7]

Interaction with the OS includes gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch and reverse pinch, all of which have specific definitions within the context of the Android operating system and its multi-touch interface.

The device includes an updater application which allows it to update its OS to the latest version of MIUI available for it.
