Xiaomi’s new phone, the Mi Max is its biggest to date and that too by quite a margin. The phone, with a 6.44” display is one of the larger ones we’ve seen in a while and comes with a set of different specs depending on the price.
The display retains a 1080p resolution. The phone supports Dual-SIM connectivity, with one card also carrying out the duties of storage expansion. The design is also quite svelte at just 7.5 mm thin.
Under the hood, you get either a choice of Snapdragon 650 or a 652. The difference is that the former has a dual-core Cortex-A72 plus quad-core Cortex-A53 setup, while the latter has both of these CPU configurations in quad-core.
You have the option of either 3 or 4 GB RAM and 32, 64 or 128 GB storage, which can be expanded. There is a 16 MP camera on the back with LED Flash, as well as a circular fingerprint scanner. The front also has a 5 MP wide-angle shooter.
Connectivity options include LTE, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 4.2 and microUSB. The phone runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the new MIUI 8.
Pricing of the phone starts at $230 for the basic S650/3GB/32GB version. You can upgrade to a 652 with 4 GB for $260 while the high-end S652 with 4GB/128GB will set you back by $310.
