Upcoming Android Phones 2014: It Looks Like Retailers Are Too Excited With Xiaomi's Mi4 Flagship, Is This The Best Android Phone This Year?

One of the most awaited upcoming Android phones this 2014 is Xiaomi's Mi4 flagship. 

After all the releases of the big players such as Sony, Samsung, HTC and LG, it is due time for the Chinese underdog to make some noise. 

However, in its home market in China, Xiaomi has been doing enough to sell well. In a recent report, it managed to sell 5 thousand RedMi Note smartphones in just 75 seconds. We still can't believe how China does not run out of money to buy Xiaomi's handsets, but if you only need to shell out $200 at most, it is certainly easier to get a secondary phone if you can afford it. 

The Xiaomi Mi4 is expected to be such a hit that a retailer has already launched page for it. While the status is still 'coming soon', we can't helo but notice the image included in the post. 

Is this the new Xiaomi flagship? We're not sure. Though it resembles the Xiaomi Mi3 in some way. According to reports, one of the best upcoming Android phones in 2014 will be launched on July 22, so we don't have to wait longer. 

Just last week, the Chinese brand has finally entered the Indian market and released its best phone to date, the Mi3. Priced aggressively, the Mi3 is expected to make an immediate impact in the Indian mobile market which is dominated by other Android OEMs such as Karbonn and Micromax. 

Certainly, the Xiaomi Mi4 will be an upgrade to the already powerful Mi3. Rumors point to a 5.2 or 5.5-inch display with QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution, a quad-core CPU clocked at 2.5GHz, 3GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 801 chipset, though we can also hope that it would get the newer 805 version. 

The phone will also allegedly pack a 32GB built-in storage, a 16MP primary camera with OIS at the back, and a 5MP front cam, a huge 3,200mAh battery, and Android 4.4 Kit Kat out of the box. 

Pricing will be crucial for a smartphone with these specs, and so one of the upcoming Android phones for 2014 from Xiaomi is tipped to cost $599.99.
