Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Xiaomi has officially launched the follow-up to their phablet last year. Meet the Xiaomi Mi Max 2.

In an event in China, the company has unveiled the price and specifications of the tablet together with the available variants. A release date has been also mentioned, but there’s currently no information regarding its launch in other markets outside of home land.

Xiaomi boasts that the Mi Max 2 has a symmetrical design and it’s built with an all-metal body.

Like its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 flaunts an incredibly large 6.44-inch screen with a 1080p resolution. Considering its immense size, its screen may not be as sharp as those with smaller displays with the same resolution.

The screen is not the only that’s large in this smartphone. It will also come with a 5,300mAh battery for two-day battery life and tons of storage.
