Want to see what's inside the Xiaomi Mi 4? Take a sneak peek here

Several days ago, we witnessed the unveiling of Xiaomi's latest and, allegedly, most powerful smartphone in the world at the moment, the Xiaomi Mi 4. These words might indeed hold water, as the device packs top-end hardware specs - a quad-core Snapdragon 801, ticking at 2.5GHz, 3GB of RAM, a large 3080mAh power bank at the back, and a 13MP rear camera with an aperture of f/1.8. All in all, both of ourspecs comparisons showed that the device is pretty much on par with most of the popular flagships devices out there, if not better. 

As the whole shebang comes with a pretty adequate and affordable price tag (around $320 for the 16GB model and roughly $400 for the 64GB one in China), probably a quite large crowd of potential buyers will be eyeing it with desire over the following months, hoping that it will eventually make its way outside of China, Singapore, and the several other local markets. We are on the exact same bandwagon, too. 

Well, we don't know if or when that might happen, but just came across a disassembly of the device, which allows us to peek below back cover of the Xiaomi Mi 4, which is swappable (you can check out the available covers in the gallery at the beginning of the article). The usual suspect – iFixit – is not responsible for this teardown. Alas, this does not prevent us from carefully examining each and every bit of silicon. Check the disassembly yourselves below.
