Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Hands-On: Feature-Packed Phablet Which is Priced Affordably

Xiaomi’s Redmi range of smartphones has become a de-facto option for most of the users in India. At the start of the year, Xiaomi said that they would launch Mi smartphones in India, along with the Redmi series. And here comes the first Mi smartphone- the Mi Max 2, which is the successor to last year’s Mi Max.

The Mi Max 2 comes with a 6.44-inch display; one might wonder who’s going to buy a 6.44-inch smartphone, which doesn’t have any bezel-less display. But note this point, Xiaomi has sold over 3 million units of Mi Max since its launch last year, which is the only reason for the company to launch its successor.

Furthermore, Xiaomi also said that the Mi Max became the best selling smartphone in the 6-inch or bigger display smartphone category. That said, the Mi Max was considered as a larger variant of the Redmi Note 3 because it used the same hardware, camera setup and had a bigger display and battery.

However, the Mi Max 2 is not a bigger variant of this year’s Redmi Note 4. Even though the Mi Max 2 uses the same chipset, the amount of RAM & storage and the device has some unique features of its own. I spent a day with the Xiaomi’s latest phablet, the Mi Max 2. Here’s my account of the same.

Design and Display

One unique feature of the Mi Max 2 is its design. Xiaomi has changed the entire design language of the Mi Max 2 from the Redmi 4 series. The antenna bands are now present at the top and bottom of the device, same as the Apple iPhone 7 and Oppo R11. Also, the Chinese company launched only the matte black colour option in India, which is a good move because consumers in India went crazy about the matte black versions of the Redmi Note 4 and Redmi 4.
