Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Specifications:

Xiaomi known for the best possible hardware specs with an affordable price tag hasn’t disappointed its fan base. The Mi Max 2 sports a premium look with metal unibody design. It has got a 6.44-inch full HD display (1920x1080 pixels) with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection against scratches.

There’s a big change in the design aspect of Mi Max 2. Similar to Apple iPhone 7, the antenna bands can be observed both at the top and bottom of the handset. The matte black colour of Xiaomi is truly an asset.

The phablet is powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and coupled with 650MHz Adreno 506 graphics. It is packed with 4GB RAM and 64GB inbuilt space further expandable up to 128GB via microSD card slot.

Excellent Camera:

On the camera front, the Mi Max 2 has got 12-megapixel Sony IMX386 sensor (for low-light photography) with f/2.2 aperture. For the unaware, it is the same sensor used in the flagship Mi 6 that can record 4K videos too. However, it is disappointing to observe that Xiaomi has incorporated just 5-megapixel sensor for selfies.

Regarding battery, the Mi Max 2 is backed by a massive 5300mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 and Parallel Charging technology. The company claims to provide 68 percent battery juice with an hour charge. The impressive battery life makes it more reliable than the Nokia 3310 in terms of standby time.

The Mi Max 2 boots Android Nougat with MIUI 8 skin on top. Connectivity wise, this dual-SIM phablet offers 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Type-C USB port and 3.5mm headphone jack.

Additionally, the phablet has got dual speaker stereo for an optimised audio experience. The split screen mode helps the user to access different types of content on the single screen.

100GB Jio 4G Data with Xiaomi Mi Max 2:

Interestingly, Xiaomi has partnered with Reliance Jio. Under the strategic partnership, the telecom company will offer up to 100GB data on the purchase of Mi Max 2.

Seems tricky? There is nothing free. You just need to purchase a recharge of ₹309 or more. Say, if you are making a recharge of ₹309, you will get 56GB of data with 56 days validity. However, under this offer, you will get extra 10GB for the first 28 days and another 28GB for the next 28 days. After the validity, you’ll make another recharge of ₹309 for 28 days. As and when you recharge with ₹309, you’ll receive extra 10GB data up to 31 May 2018.
