The Mi 4i will soon be available across all Xiaomi channels including the Snapdeal, Amazon and the Mobile Store.

The 5-inch device has a full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels at 441 PPI. The Mi 4i draws its juice from a 3120mAh battery that promises 1.5 days of normal usage.
The Mi 4i has a 13 megapixel rear camera with two-tone flash and a 5 megapixel front camera with selfie timer. The 4G dual SIM device comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. The UX is Xiaomi's MIUI 6 atop Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Xiaomi has also unveiled its Mi Band for the Indian market at a price of Rs 999.
India is a major market for Xiaomi outside its home country China. Xiaomi had recently sold a Guinness Record breaking 2.11 million handsets in 12 hours.
Xiaomi is making an aggressive pitch for the Indian market that it had entered in July last year. The company had been selling its devices online exclusively on Flipkart until April 8 when it announced its partnership with two new e-commerce platforms Snapdeal and Amazon.
To reach out to more consumers Xiaomi has also ventured into brick and mortar stores by partnering with retail chain The Mobile Store. It has also entered into a partnership with telecom operator Bharti Airtel.
