Here it is the biggest Xiaomi mobile phone and the biggest mobile I’ve ever had. A whopping 6.44 inches makes even my Note 5 and S6 Edge+ look small. The Mi Max is basiclly an upsized Redmi Note 3 Pro. It shares the same specs (apart from the screen size) A Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 or 652, 3GB or 4GB of RAM. A 32GB, 64GB or 128GB Rom, 16MP PDAF rear camera, dual SIM and MicroSD card support is still there.
The screen is a bright 1080p 6.44 inch IPS screen covered with Gorilla Glass 4 and 2.5D rounded edges. It’s still sharp too with 342 PPI. It was meant to be coing with MIUI 8 but it seems it’s not ready yet and ships with MIUI 7.1. It’s running of Android 6.0.1 and a MIUI if you’re unfamilar with it is a a skin ontop of Android with a rather iOS look and feel to it. It’s also got some handy extra features you won’t find on stock Android ROMs.
I picked this one up from Aliexpress seller Top One who have a good service to the EU which is fast and tax-free with DHL.
Don’t worry, I’m still working on the tablet reviews. It’s just nice to have a little break from tablets and check out some of the cool new Chinese mobiles.
