Xiaomi Mi 4c is official with Snapdragon 808 and 13MP camera
Xiaomi has today announced the the Mi 4c and like its larger sibling, the Redmi Note 2 that was launched in August, the new model comes with a specification and feature set that would not feel out of place on a far more expensive device. The Mi 4c starts at RMB 1,299 (approximately $204) for the base model with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage and yet is powered by a 64-bit Snapdragon 808 chipset that we have seen in high-end devices such as LG's G4.
Images can be viewed on a 5-inch 1080p display and power is provided by a 3080mAh battery that supports Quick Charge 2.0. The Mi 4c is 7.8mm thin and weighs only 132g. It also comes with a USB Type-C port that features a reversible design.
In the camera module images are captured either on a Sony IMX258 or Samsung ISOCELL 13MP sensor, presumably depending on region. In both cases the contrast detection AF is supported by an on-sensor phase detection system. The dual-tone flash should be useful in very low light and at the front you'll find a 5MP unit for self-portraits and video calls.
Like the LG G4 the Xiaomi comes with a built-in IR blaster that, according to the manufacturer, can remote control more than 2000 devices, including some DSLRs and other cameras. The Mi 4c runs Xiaomi's own Android-based MIUI 6 OS but apparently a MIUI 7 update is already in the pipeline. For now the Xiaomi Mi 4c is a China-only device but, as we've seen before, there is a good chance it'll become available in other regions as well, making it a very interesting option for mobile photographers on a budget.

The Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 (G110 in some regions) is a mirrorless camera designed for vlogging. Its 20MP Four Thirds sensor is paired with clever tracking audio technology, but we have our reservations.
The Olympus PEN E-PL10 is the latest in the company's entry-level mirrorless line-up. It's a beginner-friendly camera that does many things well, but ultimately doesn't stand out amongst its competition.
The Nikon Coolpix P950 is a powerful superzoom compact camera, built around a 24-2000mm equivalent zoom lens. Successor to the popular P900, the P950 adds an improved EVF, Raw capture and 4K video. So is it worth $800?
The Fujifilm X-T4 brings image stabilization, faster shooting and a bigger battery to the X-T series. It's not without its shortcomings but we found it to be an excellent stills and video shooter.
With its unusual form factor can the Tourbox aid the editing process? Will its price and variety of tactile controls appeal to photo and video editors who would like to streamline their workflow?
