Xiaomi Mi 4i is a cheap 'flagship' that impresses

Xiaomi's Mi 4i is a $200-ish Android handset meant to be a flagship phone for emerging markets.

The phone comes packing a brilliant full-HD display.

It runs Android Lollipop 5.0, but with Xiaomi's own custom MIUI skin.

The phone's screen comes with a feature called Sunlight Display, and gives it better visibility when in the bright outdoors.

The phone has two micro-SIM slots, both able to hook onto 4G networks.

The power and volume buttons are made of stainless steel.

The phone uses a standard micro-USB port.

It has a 13-megapixel rear camera.

Xiaomi's own cases share the same soft-touch feel.
