Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Hands-on Review: 6.4-inch display & 5300mAh battery

Hello, guys!
Just few minutes ago Xiaomi announced its new smartphone Xiaomi Mi Max 2
at an official event in China.
This is an important smartphone for the company, as it’s only the second large screen phablet
from Xioami in recent years.
Considering the popularity of original Xiaomi Mi Max, the new generation Mi Max 2 has
many chances to be of the best-selling smartphones in 2017.
New Xiaomi Mi Max 2 does not have any significant changes, compare its predecessor.
The main changes are at the back panel: antenna band design on the top, as well as the bottom.
Now they are located at the top and bottom edges, thereby creating a seamless back design.
The design looks a bit curvier than before but we can confirm this only after we get
our hands on the phablet.
Coming to the front panel, everything is almost the same, as before.
However, Xiaomi adds that the black borders around the screen (which we all hate)
are now thinner, than the first generation model.
The company seems to have reduced the thickness of the black borders quite significantly,
now measuring just 0.7mm, which is great!
As for the dual LED flash position, it’s now located on the left side of the camera
sensor, instead of the right.
One more thing, there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack on top so you don’t have to worry
about getting USB Type-C headphones at least not for this phone.
Xiaomi Mi Max 2 comes with Snapdragon 625 chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
Also, there is 4GB + 128GB model, as well.
Now, to be honest, we are disappointed to see Snapdragon 625 inside the phablet.
We were expecting more powerful chipset inside, something like, Snapdragon 660.
Xiaomi Mi Max 2 comes with the same 12-megapixels IMX386 sensor, as Xiaomi Mi 6.
The pixel size has been increased to 1.25um for better quality pictures along with a
night mode enhancement feature.
Other camera specs include PDAF, dual tone LED flash, and dynamic range adjustment.
Coming to the battery, Xiaomi has made the Mi Max 2 an even better battery monster.
The new generation model comes with a much larger 5300mAh battery that promises up
to 18 hours of video playback.
You can get up to 9 hours of continuous gaming, or 21 hour continuous navigation, or 57 hours
continuous talktime or even 10 day continuous music playback with this huge battery on board.
Further, charging it won’t be an issue, since the phone supports Quick Charge 3.0,
and charges up to 68% in an hour.
You get stereo speakers inside, an upgrade from the single speaker on Xiaomi Mi Max.
Full specifications list, you can find under the video.
Xiaomi has revealed that it has tweaked MIUI to improve user experience on Xiaomi Mi Max 2.
The phone comes with floating ball, which can be used to open your most frequently used apps.
Then, there are other features, such as one hand mode and others features, which will
help in the day to day use of 6.44-inch display.
No word about Android version, but expect at least Android 7.1 with MIUI 8.2.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is priced at 1699 Yuan (about $248)
for the 4GB RAM and 64GB version, and 1999 yuan (about $291) for 4GB RAM, and 128GB version.
It will go on sale on June 1 via online, as well as offline stores.
Below the video, you can find useful information, and links, where to buy cheaper.
