Xiaomi Mi Max 2 review: Gentler Giant

18 August 2017
You can tell right away that Xiaomi didn’t go low-key at all with the Mi Max 2 design. Typically, a phone of this size should be careful not to call attention to itself for the wrong reasons and we think Xiaomi nailed the subtle and tasteful exterior: an all-metal body, trendy antenna inlays, 2.5D front glass. On the inside, the Mi Max 2 has a new camera sensor, a new processor, more RAM and the highlight of it all - a huge battery that this time around is capable of fast charging.

      oioisaveloy, 27 Oct 2017Why does GSMArena always ignore the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. W... moreYour saying the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is a good alternative to a Mi Max, that I can't quite argue. But I hope you realize nobody really does that because their unit prices are not on the same level. Mi Max 2 sells for USD260, a Zen Phone 3 for USD500. So you should expect the Zen Phone will come with a better hardware and consequently, a superior performance.

      Incidentally, GSMArena also happen to "ignore" (as you termed it), the Xiaomi Note 3 which happen to be a good challenger to your Zenfone 3 as they are closer in price, with the Note 3 being about UDS100 cheaper. Surprisingly, despite being cheaper, the Note 3 is the better phone specs and performance wise.

              Few questions please ? anyone ? :-
              1. Has anyone played "world of tanks" blitz on Max 2 yet, need to know if any issues with performance there?
              2. Does it have the option to "zoom in" while the video is playing?
              3. How good is the music player?

                  Mi Max2, a phone with nice screen & very good performance, and on top of all

                  🏆 SUPERB BATTERY LIFE 🏆

                  The one & only phone in market that really met the "2 days battery life" claim for real life heavy usage 👍👍👍

                    I've changed my phone from redmi note 2 to Mi Max 2 just a week ago and WOWWW... this is a real SURPRISED!! Great speaker suitable for gaming experience and movies fanatic, Awesome battery life, Nice big display, Premium metal build quality, Huge storage and RAM, No overheating, quick charged, call recording feature is great quality in both side, I'm really like it and what is most important is value for money, you can't get these great specs and their quality from the other manufacturers with this XIAOMI MI MAX 2 priced bro!

                      Just today i bought the mi max 2. Ok I have a good knowledge about phones since from 10 years.This is my genuine review.

                      *Touch is gorilla glass 3. So it is scratch resistant.
                      *Display is very good.Deep blacks and very good colours.Better than redmi note 4. I have redmi note 4 too and it's display is as good as 18000 vivo and oppo.
                      *SD 625 doesn't heats up while using and charging.Phone remains normal all the time.
                      *Have Quick charging without heating
                      *Dual stereo speakers are loud but audio quality is good but not as great as iphone bcos it's due to the software i think.
                      *Sony IMX 386. The same Camera you see in Mi 6. Rear Camera is excellent at daylight but normal at low light.
                      Front Camera is also very good.I recommend you to use them at daytime outside.
                      *Battery backup is great and no more to say.
                      *Full metal and quality is excellent.
                      Overall it's only 14000. 4000 more than redmi note 4.
                      But you get all premium features comparing to my redmi note 4.

                          Why does GSMArena always ignore the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. Would be a good alternative to the above, or the Mi Mix. It's a great phone...

                                Nice phone. Big screen big battery. Is a bit laggy in playing high end games. Overall nice.

                                  AnonD-696906, 02 Sep 2017Should i get this one or Moto G5S+ ? Please help! I even ... moreGo for Moto G5S+ because its come with stock Android and no UI means its most simple and not complicated.

                                        I have changed an OP3T for this beast and I am not sorry at all. It goes very fast, the battery is inexhaustible, it has IR for my TV and my AA, it has a radio, a big screen like I wanted, microsd, record calls natively, shop for themes, sounds and free funds and I love MIUI
