The Xiaomi Mi 4 flagship phone is more than a year-old, which makes the Xiaomi Mi 5 overdue. There is some speculation that the manufacturer is waiting for the Snapdragon 820 SoC to be available for the Mi 5. However, a recent teaser for the long-awaited phone suggests that Xiaomi is tired of waiting, and will use the Snapdragon 810 on its next flagship model anyway.

Regardless of when the Xiaomi Mi 5 does finally see the light of day, the Xiaomi Mi 4c has already been certified by TENAA. Today, the phone has shown up with a listing in Oppomart, Oppo’s online store. This is the first model built by Xiaomi that is powered by the Snapdragon 808 SoC and its hexa-core CPU (which in this case features a 1.8GHz clock speed). The Adreno 418 GPU handles graphics.

The Xiaomi Mi 4c comes with a 5-inch, 1080 x 1920 resolution screen. That works out a pixel density of 438ppi. 2GB of RAM is inside along 16GB of native storage. A 13MP camera is on back, with a 5MP front-facing camera ready to snap selfies and handle video chats. Keeping the lights on is the job of the 3000mAh battery, and Android 5.1 is pre-installed with MIUI 7 on top.

7.8mm thin, the Xiaomi Mi 4c weighs 126 grams and is unlocked. The device offers support for 4G LTE connectivity and is priced at $229. While Oppomart does have the listing up, the phone has yet to be officially unveiled by the manufacturer. According to earlier reports, that won’t take place until September 24th with the actual launch coming on October 3rd. For now, we can assume that the pricing is a place holder and that the specs are based on the TENAA certification.

If you are planning on buying the Xiaomi Mi 4c, you still have a bit less than a month to wait. Can you hold on that long?

Thanks for the tip, Raja!
