Hi

I am looking to buy a mid range smart phone currnetly I have my eye on the XIAOMI MI4 from incredible http://www.incredible.co.za/xiaomi-mi4-16gb-type-c-wht because I have a voucher and an old phone to trade in for another voucher.

I cant find if the screen is gorrila glass.
I have found conflicting information if it has 4g or not.
And most importantly looking for somedody who has the phone to find out if the like it or not.

Thanks

Bob
 
I believe it does have Gorilla Glass, as far as I know.

I have the Mi4i, which is the cheaper, less powerful version of the Mi4. Not available in South Africa as far as I know. It is fantastic. Had it since August last year. The OS is great and they update it often. Battery life is incredible.

Xiaomi is a very solid brand, probably my favourite Android manufacturer right now.
 
According to the Incredible website, it has this glass

• Multi-touch capacitive screen made from
Corning© ConcoreTM glass

I have no idea what that is though

I have this phone, bought mine from Game, but as far as I know they are identical.

To answer your questions:

1) It has the Corning Concore Glass, whatever that means. Check a few youtube test videos. Seems pretty good.
2) Mine is NOT an LTE model, again, not sure if it differs between stores, but I doubt it.
3) I flippen love this thing. Battery life is great, it uses very little on idle & I get 2 days usage every time. Granted, I am not a heavy user, but still, I managed only 10hrs on my Huawei P6. The lack of a micro-SD slot isn't great, but not a problem for me.

All in, I think the value for money is excellent.
