It's not even been three months since Xiaomi introduced the flagship Mi 4 smartphone in India, and the company has now announced a new variant of the phone - Mi 4i - that comes at a relatively lower price. While many look it at as a successor to the Mi 4, it, however, is actually a more-affordable version of the old Mi 4 - which still remains Xiaomi's flagship in India.

Though the new Mi 4i doesn't have the engine and a few other elements as powerful as the Mi 4, it takes a lead over the Mi 4 on some key fronts. The most important of all is network connectivity. The dual-SIM Mi 4i provides 4G support on both the SIM slots and support for up to 16 bands, while the single SIM Mi 4 in India is a 3G phone.
