Presented only a few hours ago, the Xiaomi Mi Max represents the smartphone with the largest dimensions of the entire Xiaomi arsenal. For this reason, it is difficult for us to find a worthy opponent within the Xiaomi catalog. However, due to the fairly similar selling price, we decided to compare it with the Xiaomi Mi5, the current top-of-the-range smartphone.
| Xiaomi Mi5 | Xiaomi Mi Max | |
| Dimensions: | 69,2 x 144,55 x 7,25 mm | 88,3 x 173,1 x 7,5 mm |
| Display | 5,15 Inch LCD Full HD | 6,4 inches |
| SoC | Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 | Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 / 652 |
| RAM | 3 / 4 GB | 3 / 4 GB |
| Storage | 32 / 64 / 128 GB can not be expanded | Expandable 32 / 64 / 128 GB |
| Rear camera | 16 MPEG with OIS to 4 axes and autofocus laser | 16 Mpixel with laser autofocus and OIS |
| Front camera | 4 Mpixel | 5 Mpixel |
| Battery | Removable 3000 mAh | 4850 mAh not removable |
| Feature details | 3D Ceramic shell (Pro version only) and bordless display | fingerprint sensor on the rear body |
| Connectivity | Wi-Fi 802.11 a, b, g, n, ac / USB Type-C / NFC / Bluetooth 4.x / GPS | 802.11 Wi-Fi a, b, g, n, ac / Bluetooth 4.2 / GPS |
| Price | 1999 yuan for version with 3 / 32 GB (270 Euro at Exchange) | 200/230/270 euros |
As you can see, the cheaper version of the Xiaomi Mi5 costs as much as the most expensive of the Xiaomi Mi Max. By analyzing the whole technical sheet, we find that only in SoC there is a big difference since all other specifications are similar.
At this point the choice between these two devices falls on ergonomics: having a 6,4 inch smartphone in his hands is very different from having one from 5,15 inches. Based on your needs, which of the two favorite smartphones?
