That’s why I thought of giving you an end-to-end comparison of both these devices.
Key Specs
Display & Processor
The Display of both the first place where we can notice a difference. The Screen of Asus Zenfone 2 is 5.5 inch whereas on Xiaomi Mi 4i its is 5 inch, but when we had a closer look we realized that the Mi 4i had a full-HD 1080p display whereas the Zenfone 2 had only a HD 720p display. The Zenfone 2 has a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection whereas the Mi 4i has a new OGS(One Glass Solution) display (i.e. from Corning) which provides the toughness & scratch-resistant capabilities of the Corning Gorilla Glass 3, but also the newly developed OGS display provides a more thin screen and more sensitive touchscreen. Coming to Processor both the Asus and Xiaomi are using two different processors (i.e. Asus – Intel ; Xiaomi – Qualcomm Snapdragon). But we could have a look at their Anutu Benchmark scores – Asus Zenfone 2 ZE550ML Antutu Benchmark score is 40936 whereas Xiaomi Mi 4i Antutu Benchmark score is 40253. The new Snapdragon 615 chipset in the Xiaomi Mi 4i makes it much more battery efficient than the Asus Zenfone 2 as the Intel Z3560 chipset in the Asus Zenfone 2 tends to be more battery consuming.

The Camera on the both the devices is pretty decent as being 13 MP Rear Camera with 5-element lens, f/2.0 aperture, and dual-tone flash on both the devices, just the front Camera differs a bit being 5MP on both the devices but with f/1.8 aperture & 80 degrees wide angle lens on the Xiaomi Mi 4i , whereas with f/2.0 aperture & 85 degrees wide angle lens on the Zenfone 2. Simplifying the technical terms the greater aperture and wide angle lens on the Zenfone 2 means better Selfie’s.

Also both the devices come with Quick-Charge options. Talking about the new features the Xiaomi Mi 4i comes with a complete pack of new and interesting features – Sunlight Display, Visual IVR, CMOS sensor at this price point and much more.
