I like the XIAOMI MI4, it carries 13MP Sony camera, Snapdragon 801 quad-core 2.5GHz chipset, 3GB RAM, 16GB ROM, Android 6.0 OS and 3080mAh battery; It is one of the best smartphones around $160. You want to know what else smartphones have the reputation? Search “best smartphone around $160” on youtube, you will find the comparison video among XIAOMI Mi4, Oukitel k6000 pro, K10000 and Letv Le 1s smartphone.
