Xiaomi’s new Mi 4c is here, and if you’re a fan of affordable smartphones, you can’t ignore it.

The Mi 4c is packing premium specifications like a 5-inch Full HD display, a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, and a 13-megapixel camera — but it starts at just over $200 off-contract.

If you have no interest in the new Apple TV, or even Amazon’s latest Fire TV lineup, then perhaps a generous discount on the Nexus Player can tempt you. The device can currently be had from Best Buy for just $49.99, which is $30 less than its regular retail price.
