As Xiaomi's latest forerunner, the Mi 4, is already official, and it is perfectly natural to compare it the devices that it will be rivaling. Yes, Xiaomi will try hard to snatch market share from the major smartphone manufacturers - we are talking about the likes of Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony, etc. Well, we already showed you a specs comparison between Xiaomi's latest and two rather popular Android devices – the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the LG G3. But the battle is about to get even more heated.

The Mi 4 will pack with a quad-core Snapdragon 801, ticking at 2.5GHz, 3GB of RAM, a 3080mAh battery to keep the lights on, a 13MP rear and an 8MP snappers. Thus, it can easily stand up to any flagship at the moment. Although it is pretty hard to determine which one packs more oomph, but at least we get to compare the pure hardware specs of the beasts on paper and see who's ahead and who's trailing a little behind.

So, let's go ahead and see how the Xiaomi Mi 4 fares against another duet of popular flagship devices, the HTC One (M8) and the Sony Xperia Z2, in terms of pure specs on paper. Of course, it's up to you to decide which smartphone is the clear winner here!
