Xiaomi has yet to release the so-called Mi 4C but it has already showed up many times online. Online retailer Oppomart already has a listing of the device where its full specs sheet is displayed together with the pricing.

The flagship is allegedly coming with a 5-inch full display with 1080p resolution rendering a pixel density of 435 ppi. This screen has advanced Panel Self Refresh (PSR) technology and lower power consumption, as Oppomart describes it. 

As for the processor under its hood, rumor mills have been claiming it is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, the same as what the purported Xiaomi Mi 5 should get. But with the processor yet to be fully ready for utilization, Xiaomi allegedly had to settle for Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. However, Oppomart lists that the Xiaomi Mi 4C is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor instead. If this is the case, then it will be the first Xiaomi device to be driven by the chipset. 

It allegedly has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage space to store apps and files. The camera at the back is 13 megapixels, while the shooter on the front is 5 megapixels. It also reportedly packs a 3000 mAh battery and runs Android 5.1 Lollipop with the new MIUI 7. 

The Xiaomi Mi 4C weighs 126 grams, if Oppomart has it right. The page also reveals that it supports for 4G LTE connectivity and dual SIM compatibility. All this is packaged with an affordable $229 price tag.

Oppomart doesn't list when the device is going to be released but it has long been rumored that it will be made official by Xiaomi on Sept. 24, and will be available for purchase by Oct. 3. Interestingly, there are already reviews on the page, all evaluating the Xiaomi Mi 4C as a great smartphone.
