Xiaomi is trying to expand its market internationally, someone argues with difficulty while someone else claims the opposite, but in any case it must be recognized that for better or for worse the Chinese company is always talking about itself. Last summer the was presented phablet Mi Max, which in China has been remarkably successful, and in the wake of that Xiaomi plans to launch a worthy successor within a couple of months.
A new rumor posted by AndroidPure he argues that Xiaomi Mi Max 2 will be announced in May, but will probably be on sale from June. There will be a couple of hardware changes that Xiaomi will operate on its new device, but the Mi Max 2 will display the same 6.44 display but this time edge-to-edge. In addition, the battery will be improved and increased as well as the amount of RAM available.
Also, according to further rumors from social Weibo, the successor to the Xiaomi Mi Max will be powered by a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 accompanied by 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory. The current model of Mi Max (top version) is equipped with 4GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Unlike the Mi Max which is powered by an 4.850 mAh battery, the Mi Max 2 will be equipped with a battery with 5000 mAh capacity.
No details have been provided about the photo compartment, but we know that the current version of the device comes with a rear camera with 16 megapixel PDAF (autofocus phase detection) and an 5 megapixel front camera with 85 degrees wide angle lens.
However, the fingerprint sensor will still be present, but it is assumed that it will be moved to the front and not to the back for greater convenience considering the size of the device. The software will be based on MIUI 8 with Android 7.0 Nougat. The value-for-money ratio should remain unchanged with respect to the current smartphone on the market, so the cost of the Mi Max 2 could go around around the 310 dollars in China.
Xiaomi will not attend the Mobile World Congress (MWC) this year and then the new Mi Max 2 will come presented during a dedicated event. What is not one of the two smartphones that will be announced will be presented the 28 February during the presentation of the processor Pinecone? If so, Xiaomi would anticipate the times by far since the rumors speak of May / June. But you know, Xiaomi loves to amaze.
