Following the news last month that Chinese company Xiaomi was set to bring the affordable Mi 4 and Redmi 2 to South Africa under the MIA (Mobiles In Africa) group, we now officially have clarity on the price of the Mi4 on local contract.
The Mi 4, which first went on sale on the 27th of November through a flash sale, is now available from Vodacom and MTN as of the 4th of December.
MIA officially presided over the official launch of the smartphone, stating that “œWe are well in time for the holiday shopping season with what we believe to be the best value-for-money premium smartphone deal in South Africa.“
