As it stands there are four versions of MIUI available: China MIUI,Retail MIUI, EU MIUI, and sMIUI.
China MIUI comes with all the Chinese apps and counterparts for a lack of Google in their country, and has lots of crap and bad translations even if you pick "English". The standby time and performance of this ROM is bad. (This is the one GSMarena tested)
Retail MIUI is the China MIUI with bloatware and crap loaded onto it by the resellers. This is the worst ROM of all, and is likely what you get if you order this phone from online stores. Get rid of this as soon as possible.
EU MIUI is a branch of MIUI specifically for European markets. They removed the crappy Chinese apps that don't work outside of China and fixed the translations. This is a good option and very safe and easy to switch with official instructions from Xiaomi. It also comes pre-loaded with the Google framework and Play Store.
sMIUI is based on EU MIUI but you can select extra features you want and to remove some apps ypu don't use before downloading. It comes with Google's framework and you can choose to remove MIUI's framework. This ROM has to be flashed via a custom recovery and can't be updated the same way as the other ROMs (though they can also be updated via custom recovery).
If you need information on how to change ROMs, check out the Mi4c forms on Xda-developers or search for youtube videos that give you step by step instructions. If you're stuck, just message me on Xda-developers, username: Xdadevet

You google before you talk
I hope they consider updating it to Marshmallow, because I didn't see this on the list of Xiaomi devices to get the Marshmallow update.

Both are the same Glass.
AnonD-462749, 20 Nov 2015Mi4c has corning glass, which is better than gorila glass. Please google before you post...Corning is the company that makes Gorilla glass. The solution on the mi4c is called Concore, it means the screen is fully laminated (expensive to repair). It is also made by Corning and is not as strong as Gorilla glass gen 3 but offers similar scratch resistance.
Pls tale me about camera , display and heating issue.
I need your valuable review and comment.

I am wondering if someone can confirm with a link, that if i order mi 4c from china to india, probably by aliexpress or any such website. will it work in India? as in the 2G,3G & 4G bands are compatible with India Radio Frequencies. Also i have Heard Mi fones in china don't have a playstore but their own app store. so if i get that in India, how will i run playstore or download apps??

I don't like front black screen.Other china phone are metal body.
Riyaz, 16 Nov 2015Yes. It is 64 bit. SD 808 comes with only 64 bit.the most weakness of a touchscreen device is it's diplay and this phone has no protection that's weird
AnonD-462749, 04 Nov 2015It realy doesn't matter since you can install Cynognemod on Xiaomi mi4c. Hence, use the latest... moreYes and no. CyanogenMod runs on top of MIUI's kernel, so you'll have CyanogenMod based on top of the latest MIUI kernel (CM12.1 atm) until Xiaomi releases the kernel source code. And CyanogenMod is just as slow as MIUI on the Mi4C because of this, rather just stick to debloated MIUI ROMs.
Riyaz, 11 Nov 2015Is it running on 32 bit operating system or 64 bit? In terms of camera and performance which o... moreIt is running 64-bit Android 5.1.1 LMY47V. Both the front and back camera is a lot better than the One Plus X (but as a side note you do get plenty of noise if the scene isn't well lit). Other than that, the camera is fast, has awesome manual control (everything from focus, exposure, white balance, saturation, sharpening, contrast, slo-mo, time lapse, and more!)

So i need ... moreIt is smooth, but you have to use the sMIUI ROM and debloat and optimize it a bit. Battery life is okay but not as good as my G2. I can't speak for gaming performance as I haven't really played any, but it should be better than anything near its price range
