Review On Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Hi Everyone, Today I gonna review on Xiaomi Mi Max 2 which was launched recently.

After introducing the Mi Max last year, Xiaomi has now launched the Mi Max 2 at ₹16,999. Is it worth buying that Cell phone? Let's find out in my review!

Design

With a 6.44-inch display, the Mi Max 2 is huge in size. It’s not really a comfortable phone to use when you’re walking or juggling around with more than one tasks. Typing with one hand is a tough task. It’s a big phone and at that, it’s designed quite well. For a mid-range smartphone, the Mi Max 2 looks quite nice and the metal chassis gives it a definite premium feel.The fingerprint scanner on the back is a bit difficult to reach, especially if you have smaller hands. On most occasions, I had to use two hands to place my finger on the scanner – not entirely because it was out of reach, but because I was conscious of not dropping the phone.Overall, the Mi Max 2 is almost similar in size to its predecessor but the design and finish is definitely more refined this time.

Display

The Mi Max 2 features a Full HD 6.44-inch display which gives it a pixel density 342ppi. A higher resolution on a phone of this size would’ve been nice, but that would’ve also required a more powerful processor.

Performance

The Mi Max 2 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 processor, a popular and a capable chipset for smartphones in this price segment.

The Mi Max 2 Has large 5,300 mAh battery which easily gives two days of battery life on a single charge, even if you’re a heavy. Xiaomi claims 11 hours of non-stop game play.

The Mi Max 2 also supports Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 and parallel charging, which is very important for smartphones with this big a battery else it takes annoyingly long to charge fully. Mi Max 2 takes less than two hours to go from zero to 100 percent charge, which is impressive.

Hardware

The Mi Max 2 sports a hybrid SIM slot, so you can either use two SIMs or one SIM and one microSD card. Most of the people like to use both SIMs along with microSD card, So for those people it finds difficult to decide which options should he has to choose like myself. 

The Mi Max 2 includes an IR blaster so you can control your home appliances using your phone as a remote. It works with a with a variety of appliances and brands. There’s also a USB Type-C port this time around, instead of the microUSB on the Mi Max. Thankfully, the smartphone boasts stereo speakers, which offer quite a loud sound.

Camera

The camera on the Mi Max 2 is just about okay. The 12-megapixel rear camera with an f/2.2 aperture manages to capture photos with good color reproduction and contrast in daylight, but the lack of detail is very apparent. The phase detection autofocus and faster focusing works quite well in daylight. In low light camera captures average photos. Most photos are noisy, and the lack of sharpness which effects the overall image quality. The 5-megapixel front camera takes good enough selfies – in daylight, that is. Not so pretty ones in low light

Final Thoughts

The Mi Max 2 is a nice. The refined design and the incredible battery life is advantage for this phone. The camera is not the best and the processing power isn’t that good, yet at ₹16,999, it is a great pick for anyone who wants a phone with a large display or wants a power bank with smartphone features with affordable price.
