Just yesterday the founder of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, finally made it clear about all brands and series of terminals produced by our favorite Chinese giant.
In addition to explaining the differentiation between Mi and Redmi, Lei Jun added in conclusion that at the moment the company is not working on the successor of the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 or the Mi Note 3 (the latter a news that surprised a few).
Lu Weibing: Many want the Xiaomi Mi Max 4, which becomes a Redmi series?
That said, Redmi's general manager, Lu Weibing, shared a message that shuffles the cards on the table, at least in part. Lu Weibing would have posted a thought on Weibo (a famous Chinese social network) before going to sleep. Below we insert the whole translated post.
It's late at night and everyone is talking about the Xiaomi Mi Max series and I wonder:
- Do you need a smartphone with a larger screen and battery?
- What would you do mainly? In which cases would you use it?
- What do you think of the high weight?
Lu Weibing
So Lu Weibing seems to be slightly interested in knowing the opinions of his followers, in a sort of market research to understand if it would make sense to create the successor. This indirectly could also mean that there is a slight chance that the Redmi brand will adopt the series that has usually been marked by "Mi" and make it his own.
In fact, if we go to see the last one Xiaomi Mi Max 3 presented last year, the smartphone was much more similar to some of the terminals produced by Redmi, such as the Redmi Note 5, in fact they equip the same processor (the Snapdragon 636) and the design is almost identical, if not for the larger dimensions. While if we take as an example the Xiaomi Mi 6X (Mi A2 in the rest of the world), this equipped the most powerful Snapdragon 660.
So, absurdly, the Xiaomi Mi Max 4 would make more sense within the Redmi brand. A hypothetical Redmi Max 4 could indeed arrive with a Snapdragon 660 (taken from Redmi Note 7) or a Snapdragon 675 (the same as Redmi Note 7 Pro). The design could remain the same but increase in scale, for example to have a screen from 6,7 to 6,9 inches with front drop notch and a battery of 5500mAh or more. Moreover, even the price would be quite aggressive, so as not to affect the sales of devices like the Xiaomi Mi 9T. For many, an elusive Redmi Max 4 could become the ideal device in this 2019.

Je possède a Mi MAX3 et je ne peux plus m'en passer !! Grand écran, autonomy, c'est le must. Taille et poids ne sont pas rédhibitoire pour un homme de taille moyenne. Pourquoi ne pas créer un Redmi 7 Max
They could do it with s730 which would be perfect
After a Mi Max, two Mi Max 2 and the current Mi Max 3, I wouldn't even consider other phones.
The features of the Mi Max 4 that have been circulating for months (7.2 ″, SD 660 or 675, 5.8Ah battery), MIUI 11 with the 10 android, are perfect for me,
To improve them again, we would like the SD730….
I agree that it should be marketed as RedMi Note 7 Max.
I have had the 2 mi max for two years. I wouldn't exchange it with any other phone except for a mi max 4. Once you get used to Display and battery, you never go back. I sincerely hope to continue the development and production (it's also fine under the redmi brand)
I want it!!!! the mi max 4 !!!
What are you waiting to put it into production ???
Hello, I would like an 4 mi max or better "Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro" with 7,2 inch screen, like MATE 20 X, and 5000 top and battery compartment or more. I don't care what weight I can have my purse and I don't use it with one hand!
I have an 3 Mi Max and for me that I spend 4 hours a day on the train is perfect ... instead of buying a tablet from 7, 8 or 10 I preferred by far the Mi Max 3 as I can do everything with excellent performance ... a Mi Max 4 with the same display ... maybe Amoled and an 730g snapdragon dedicated to gaming I wouldn't mind ...
Много людей ждут mi max 4. Китайцы, вы там не охуели ...
I own 2 mi max 3 well - and I am very satisfied - waiting for the mi max 4
I hope the development continues, even if I would like an 16: 9 or 16: 10 format that I think is more practical for this type of device if you use it for work and you use the keyboard a lot. And it would not hurt to be able to lodge two SIMs together with the SD as I currently have on the ASUS C7.0.
a real pity the successor of the mimax3 that I own disappears. I would have bought the 4 immediately
У меня первый MI MAX и я долгое время не хотела его менять ни на какой другой, так как по савокупности его характеристик равных ему небыло в плане величины экрана, ёмкости батареи и еще для меня важна его толщина - всего лишь 7,5 мм. и камера на уровне. Но уже поднадоели большие рамки вверху и снизу экрана. Вот надеялась на MAX 4. По большому счёту мне не важно кто его выпустит и под каким названием.
For me it would be nice to have the Max 4 with 7 screen up, 5G technology and the less elongated format, like 16 / 9, with 6 gb ram and 128 expandable rom; very good! I specify that I bought a Redmi Note 7 with 128 gb waiting for the Max 4 5G.
Ok. We hope you will arrive soon. I have max 3 and I'm satisfied
