With less than an hour before the official launch of Xiaomi Mi 5, the Chinese company has unveiled a new phone, dubbed the Mi 4S, in Beijing.

It has to be noted that the Mi 4S is not a successor of the Mi 4, but just an upgraded version. The Mi 5 is said to be the true successor of the 2014 flagship smartphone.

As far as specifications are concerned, Xiaomi Mi 4S sports a metal frame with 5.0-inch full HD display, and comes packed with a Snapdragon 808 Hexa-core processor, 3GB RAM, 64GB inbuilt memory, a 13MP primary camera, a 5MP snapper on the front and a 3,260mAh battery.

With the launch of the Mi 4S, Xiaomi now has four Mi 4 series variants in its portfolio. Previously, the company had released Mi 4c and Mi 4i in 2015. [Check out the specification difference all the four devices].
