Instead of continuing with the regular screen sizes (between 4 inches to etui coque huawei p9 5.5 inches), Xiaomi introduced a smartphone with a massive 6.44 inch display. It wasn't the first one to do so, however, as Lenovo had already released its Phab series back then. At the time of the Mi Max launch, Xiaomi India bet on a large display phone, almost nearing the 7 inch tablet size, along with a large battery capacity. Xiaomi coque huawei gra-l09 managed to sell over threemillion units of the device.Clearly, the device resonated with a lot of consumers. One year later, Xiaomi is back with the next version of the large screen device, simply called Mi Max 2. Will it repeat the magic of the first iteration Let us find out below.The Xiaomi Mi Max 2 has undergone a coque iphone 6 gaudi designrefresh, which is especially noticeable when you place it beside the earlier model. For starters, the edges have got the rounding treatment, and it's unlike the Mi Max, where the rear side of the phone just curved in around the corners. The body is all metal and there are coque huawei p20 rhinoshield no plastic bits on the top and bottom edge, as was the case with the Mi Max. Thereby making it slightly heavier than the Mi Max. The black coloured Mi Max 2 that I had for review has a metal back which can tend to get quite slippery at times. Whoever held the device, the first thing they pointed out was how coque iphone 6 plus uni slippery it was, this was coque huawei p20 fnac even before turning it on (Take note, Xiaomi!). The antenna lines curve around the top and bottom edges, which tendto almost merge with the black colour.The big screen Xiaomi Mi Max 2On the rear side, you have the circular fingerprint scanner in the top half and the 12 MP camera module is present on the top left hand corner along coque iphone 6 ocase with a dual LED flash unit. The base houses the USB Type C port for charging and data transfer. Beside the USB port are the speaker grilles, only one side of which houses aspeaker. The other speaker section is within the ear piece.Coming to the front, there is the 6.44 inch display, which has slimmer bezels on the side as compared to coque huawei p smart fortnite the top and bottom. At the top, you have the earpiece speaker, ambient light sensor and a 5 MP front facing camera. The left hand edge houses the hybrid dual SIM tray and on the right hand side, there are coque huawei y5 ii style the power/standby and volume rocker buttons. These are made of metal and have good coque huawei p8 lite bordeau feedback.The Xiaomi Mi Max 2 has undergone a design refinement. The power and volume rocker buttons on the rightOverall, the build quality of the Mi Max 2 is quite good, but I would've liked a bit more grip on the device. But this can be overcome by putting on a cover. While the size of the phone is huge, it did manage to fit into my jeans' pockets, although with the top portion jutting out. One handed use is out of the question though, unless you use it in the one handed mode, which I would avoid as the phone feelstop heavy coque iphone 6 inception when held in one hand.One would assume that Xiaomi would have gone all out with the second generation Mi Max, but that is not the case. On the display side, things haven't really changed. You still get a 6.44 inch Full HD display. It houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC which comes with eight Cortex A53 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz along with an Adreno 506 GPU. The Mi Max came with a more powerful Snapdragon 652 chipset. Now while the number may be higher, you need to note that the Snapdragon 652 was built on the 28 nm process, whereas the coque iphone 6 raptors Snapdragon 625 is built on the 14 nm process. Overall, the result should be a device that's almost as powerful as its predecessor, but at the same time, much more efficient.With the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 you can forget one handed ebay coque huawei p9 lite use of your phoneYou get a 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage option on the Mi Max 2 along with the option to expand the storage to 256 GB. Since this phone comes with a hybrid SIM card slot, you will need to sacrifice one slot for either a microSD card or a second SIM card.The rear camera is now a 12 MP Sony IMX386 unit with an f/2.2 aperture and there is a 5 MP front facing camera. The phone comes with a "dual stereo" effect coque huawei p20 jordan with one speaker section on the base and the other being the earpiece speaker. A massive 5,300 mAh coque iphone 6 licorne paillette battery powers the device.Xiaomi Mi Max 2 comes with a USB Type C portIn terms of connectivity, you get coque huawei y6 2017 mickey dual band LTE, Wi Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS with A GPS, GLONASS, BDS and even FM radio.The 6.44 inch display is the highlight of the Mi Max 2. Just like its earlier version, the Mi Max 2 also comes with a Full HD display. The 2.5D display demonter coque huawei p smart is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, thereby making it scratch and smudge resistant. The brightness levels of the display are quite good. It can get a tad reflective at times though, and you would like to avoid any direct light source in the background. But considering the 6.44 inch display, I would have liked coque huawei p30 lite nike to see scaling options which would let me add more app icons per row. As it stands, you can only adjust the text size and there are four app icons per row, which seems like an unnecessary waste of space. This is a bummer becauseif you have a lot of apps,there will be that many home screens to swipe through. Either that or you'll have to use multiple folders.Thanks to the large display it is a pleasure to read long articles and ebooksIn terms of the video viewing experience, there wasn't much of a problem. But viewing angles are not the best. You can immediately spot a contrast shift if you look at it from even a slight angle. For a smartphone which capitalises on the content consumption audience, coque huawei p9 lite overwatch this isn't desirable. Agreed, you will be viewing content with the phone placed in a limited angle range. But it is still surprising that Xiaomi would even remotely consider compromising on this aspect of the display.The text appears sharp. Black levels are not the best, but are good enough. There were instances when watching a dark scene in a video that we noticed some backlight bleeding. This does not affect the movie viewing experience, but if you are coming from an AMOLED display device, you will tend to notice these issues. Gaming was quite a good experience on the big screen.The Xiaomi Mi Max 2 runs Android Nougat 7.1.1 out of the box, of course with the MIUI 8.5 skin atop it. It does come pre bundled with a lot of apps which you may or may not want to use. The UI has become familiar to a lot of Xiaomi users over the years. One interesting feature that is present on the MIUI 8 is Dual apps, which lets you run two instances of the same app on the phone. Think two WhatsApp accounts tied todifferent numbers coque huawei p8 lite minion on the same phone. Second Space lets you have two front ends for coque huawei p8 lite 2017 pas chere different occasions, such as work or home.As mentioned in the display section, I would have personnalisation coque huawei liked to see the option of scaling the icons. It just makes sense to have that feature on such a large display so that you can pack more app icons per homepage. You also get the Reading mode, which cuts down on the blue light. The battery section is granular to a level where you can go into individual apps and set if you want it to run the background, for saving power. There is a Quick Ball button which lets you access quick functions or apps, up to five of them. It is quite a handy feature.The split screen functionality which Xiaomi advertises as one of the major features, and something that should be a no brainer for a device with a large display such as the Mi Max 2, is yet to see the light of the day on the device. Right now, you will need to run a beta version of MIUI to activate the Split screen mode. Why it is not on by default is something only Xiaomi can answer.There were a few coque huawei p10 d'origine instances when taking or cutting a call that I noticed some strange bugs. For instance, the music would sometimes not stop when receiving a call. At other times, I'd have to tap multiple times on the end call button to end the call. These are issues which can be resolved with software updates in the future…
