Xiaomi has had a good reputation of providing fast and regular updates to their devices and this is something very few other brands can match. This is the similar approach to iOS on the iPhone and the Emotion UI of Huawei devices. The MIUI interface is flat and linear and the absence of an app drawer means you just have to create more home screens or group your apps into folders. Since it’s also a China model, there is no Google Play Store pre-installed so we had to do some tinkering around to get this to run (it’s easy if you know where to get it). Xiaomi also announced MIUI 8.0 but the unit we had still has MIUI 7.0 pre-installed so we’ll just have to wait for the update.

The Xiaomi Mi Max runs on a custom OS called MIUI 7 which is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The side bezels are relatively thin, with about a millimeter from the edge where the glass terminates with the frame of the chassis but there’s an additional millimeter more inside the display itself that’s inactive. With the screen to body ratio on 74.8%, the Mi Max is still comfortable to hold with one hand although typing on the screen would certainly require both hands. The brightness is not as good as the one on the Xiaomi Mi 5, though. The screen is bright and the IPS panel offered neutral color saturation.

There are three capacitive buttons at the bottom end - Home, Back and Recent Apps.ĭespite the extra-large size, the full HD display looked very nice and crisp at 342ppi.

The glass slightly curves around the edges, reminiscent of the iPhone 6S Plus but with chamfered edges. The screen is 6.44 inches across with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, giving it a 342ppi pixel density. Nevertheless, it’s still comfortable to use and fits just snugly into the back pocket of your jeans. The Mi Max is definitely huge and really meant to be operated with both hands. The 32GB internal storage has a usable 24.3GB space. The unit also supports a hybrid dual-SIM cradle that can carry two SIM cards or the other card may be swapped with a microSD card up to 128GB. Despite that, the scanner is fast and accurate with a maximum of 5 unique prints. Due to the size of the phablet, it’s quite hard to reach the sensor with the index finger. Smack in the middle is a recessed circular fingerprint scanner. The top and bottom corners are cut in a different shade of silver, perhaps to provide better wireless signal reception. The back panel is flat and smooth in matte silver finish that tapers toward the edges. As with many smartphones we’ve reviewed before, this is mostly done for symmetry and aesthetics. Up top is the 3.5mm audio port, a noise canceling mic and an IR blaster that serves as a universal remote for your home appliances.Īt the bottom is the microUSB port for charging with a row of pin holes on each side - the right side works as the loudspeaker while the left side hides the primary mic. The SIM tray supports one nano SIM and one micro SIM cards at the same time or you can also insert a microSD card into the first tray to expand file storage. The power button and volume controls are on the right side while the SIM card slot is on the left. There’s a thin strip of metal frame that surrounds the glass panel and closes the gap with the chassis. The front panel is fully covered with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass that slightly curves toward the edges with capacitive buttons at the bottom corner.
In some instances, you’d mistake the Mi Max as a slightly bigger iPhone 6S Plus. The silver model has a white front panel covered with Gorilla Glass 4. It’s got a solid metallic body in a slim, flat and unibody design. The Mi Max carries the same design signature as the Mi Note series. At 6.44-inch, it’s actually one of the biggest around in its category. The Xiaomi Mi Max is the largest smartphone that the Chinese company has ever released. For the purpose of this review, we bought the entry-level variant that came with 3GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 650 chip. Then, there are the likes of the Xiaomi Mi Max that combines the best features of a flagship phone with a generous display size. Phablets have become pretty common these days but due to their sheer size, not a lot of people will prefer them over regular smartphones that already have ample screen real estate.
