As per the GeekBench listing, the
Android 5.0.2 Lollipop-based Mi 4i
smartphone will be powered by a 64-bit octa-core
Snapdragon 615 processor clocked at 1.65GHz and coupled with 2GB of RAM. This makes the Mi 4i a less powerful variant of the Mi 4 flagship, which houses a 2.5GHz quad-core
Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC with 3GB of RAM.
Interestingly, the specifications of Mi 4i closely match the also-unannounced Xiaomi handset codenamed 'Ferrari' that
appeared in a benchmark listing last month. The benchmark had listed a 4.9-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display, Adreno 405 GPU, 12-megapixel rear camera, 4.8-megapixel front camera, and 16GB of built-in storage, in addition to the specifications from the latest leak.
