Test drive a new smartphone Xiaomi or How to save on a free Xiaomi Mi4S?
Hi, Hiktames. We write a lot about different gadgets, explore a lot, try to keep abreast of all the most significant technological innovations and, of course, we are happy to share all this information with our readers. But, in honor of the May holidays, we wanted to give something more than just knowledge and decided not only to tell about the Xiaomi Mi4S, announced this year, but also to donate it. Did we like the novelty from Xiaomi and how you can get it for free - read under the cut.
So that the prize draw was useful to each participant, not just the winner - we decided to add a little educational part, that is, we decided to teach how to use the cashback service so that each participant could then save his whole life on all his online purchases.

So in order to win the Xiaomi Mi4S smartphone, you need to complete 1 simple task:
- Make an order at any of the 743 stores via LetyShops cashback service and send the ID of your purchase in a comment to the official post-announcement on the social network. It can be something useful, or a $ 0.1 trinket with AliExpress. Everything is considered. Detailed instructions on can be found at the bottom of the article.
I have been a happy owner of Xiaomi Mi4c for several months now. And, frankly, I did not expect that the updated version would somehow surprise me and didn’t pay much attention to it. Yes, and at the official presentation somehow Xiaomi Mi4S walked sideways, collecting all the attention on the Xiaomi Mi5. But, Mi4S still costs a reasonable $ 300 as opposed to $ 500 for a Mi5 with the same amount of memory on board, so it soon turned out to be on my desk and ... I fell in love.
Opening the perfect box, I saw a beautiful golden smartphone. Before that, I considered the phone “in gold” to be something from the harsh 90s, but this color was so pleasant that there were simply no negative associations left. Taking him in hand, you immediately realize that Xiaomi not only made an easy upgrade, but completely changed the design.
Immediately striking change in the body, the output of sound on the bottom panel and, of course, a fingerprint scanner. Due to the change in the faceting, the smartphone has become more comfortable to hold in hand, the speakers have provided a chic sound even when the phone is on the table or if it is placed in a case, and the fingerprint is located in an unexpectedly convenient place under the index finger and instantly works. However, to unlock the phone, which lies on the table - you must either enter a pattern key, or lift the smartphone. However, if you have a smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band, then unlocking happens simply when you are near and it is sooo convenient.
To make it a little clearer - add more characteristics of the past model (Mi4c) and the flagship of this year (Mi5).
Separately, I want to draw attention to the fact that you can add more memory to Mi4S (card up to 128 gigs), although for this you will have to sacrifice one of the sim cards. However, it seems to me that 64 gig already a very decent amount. This is how the slot looks in comparison with the tray from Mi4C:
It seems to me that the most important thing is not how many tsiferok produces a smartphone at various checks, and what kind of picture does it get during high-performance processes. So in this section there will be videos taken from the screen and, if something goes wrong, it will be immediately visible. The same goes for the graphics itself. We look.
Real racing 3
Need for Speed ​​No Limits
Personally, I don’t really like the quality of graphics in this application. And this constant shower seems to be trying to hide from us the incomplete graphics. Honestly, I did not expect this from the team that created Real Racing 3.
Asphalt 8
Not without pleasure, I played in Asphalt 8. The graphics slow down a little, but this does not prevent us from playing and reacting to the processes in the game itself.
Lords Mobile - Strategy
Not to say that there would be any serious requirements for the phone, but I still think it would be nice to be sure that any strategy will go without problems.
AliExpress app
Everything is expected here smoothly and with full order animation, so you can be sure that any application will work adequately.
But the front camera, though opposite the sun.
Video
This smartphone hooked me at first sight, and further tests only reinforced the positive impressions. I enjoyed playing many games, chatting in messengers, surfing the Internet, listening to music, etc. I think this impression is also related to the fact that it is tactilely very pleasant - metal edges, glass back panel and only 133 grams of weight. Naturally, Xiaomi took care of the perfect build, so my attempts to get him to creak were not crowned. The fingerprint scanner was also pleasantly pleased, to be honest, I did not expect that it would fit so well on the back cover.
However, it was not done without a fly in the ointment. During high-performance games, the phone heats up. You get used to it, but still this heating is essential. However, this is the only negative that I managed to find in a couple of weeks.
As for performance, it is on the level. The Android here is the latest version, so you can put anything. And even the most demanding toys are going well enough to enjoy the process of the game. I don’t know to what extent the video will convey this, but personally I got exactly this impression (after the night of the game in Asphalt 8 :)). Other characteristics here are also at a high level, so you can be sure that this phone can serve for a long time faithfully.
It cannot be said that the price of $ 300 makes this phone “affordable budgetary”, but for this money we get a really high-quality and thoughtful product, the level of apple companies. And, alas, they are not going to make adjustments to the ruble exchange rate, so Xiaomi Mi4S, with all its advantages, costs these 19,389 rubles .
And now it's time for the most interesting - let's throw Xiaomi Mi4S from the 11th floor.
