The Xiaomi Mi 4i was designed to be an affordable semi-flagship, but tries to punch above its weight. The Mi 4i is thinner, lighter and more connected than the original, and lands straight on Android Lollipop. The Xiaomi Mi 4i shares plenty of DNA with the original Mi 4, some of the hardware duly scaled down for affordability. The software though genuinely tries to make up for it. The Xiaomi Mi 4i boasts a premium 5" IPS 1080p display and a very capable 13MP camera, both shared with the flagship. The Snapdragon 615 chipset with an octa-core processor integrates Cat. 4 LTE with the added benefit of dual-SIM support.

"We would only design them and license the brand name," Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri told a German magazine. If you had any doubt that Nokia wants to  return to the phone business  in 2016, allow CEO Rajeev Suri to extinguish them for you. “”We will look for suitable partners,” Suri told the German language  Manager Magazin The company could still back off from its hopes and dreams, but it sure looks like Nokia’s phones will rise from the ashes in 2016. As previously reported, Nokia wouldn’t try to rebuild the devices and service business it sold to Microsoft. “Microsoft manufactures mobile phones. We would only design them and license the brand name," Suri explained. Instead, third-party manufacturers would pay for the rights to make Nokia-designed phones and sell them under the Nokia name. Rumblings about this plan have been going on for some time. In late 2014, Nokia Technologies President Ramzi Haidamus said there was value in designing and licensing hand...
