Xiaomi Mi 4c

Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 808 chipset, pairing quad-core Cortex-A53 cores with dual-core Cortex-A57 cores and an Adreno 418 GPU. That's a mid-to-upper tier setup for its era, paired with either 2GB or 3GB RAM depending on the storage variant you pick, 16GB or 32GB respectively. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD packs a full HD 1080 x 1920 resolution at 441 ppi, sharp enough for text and video on a screen this size.

The 13MP rear camera has phase detection autofocus and dual-LED flash, useful for quicker focus lock and more even lighting in low light shots. A 5MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. Xiaomi Mi 4c price in Malaysia starts from RM599, which is worth noting given the hardware on offer.

Battery capacity sits at 3080 mAh, non-removable, and the phone charges through a USB Type-C port, an early adopter for that connector back in 2015. It runs MIUI 7.0 over Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, and comes in white, grey, pink, yellow or blue.
