The phone is the first device with a screen between 6 and 7 inches from Xiaomi. In other words, it’s the first phablet from the Beijing based phone maker.

What do you think? What would you be happy to pay for the Mi Max (keeping in mind reseller cuts)?
So does multi-language stand for Chinese & English? Because that how it usually works for other Chinese companies.
For MIUI, the Chinese version contains Chinese & English. The multi-language contains a lot of other languages – French, Spanish, German etc.
Is there any gorilla glass? i doubt, any difference between 650 and 652? Well let’s wait and see some bunch of review than see if it’s worth or not!
The 652 is something in between the 650 and 820
650 is 2x Cortex A72 and 4x Cortex A53
652 is 4x Cortex A72 and 4x Cortex A53
Difference is there when you task switch between heavy apps or games as they stay on same big quad cluster (no trade migration), their is no difference in using individual apps like browser (at least until Servo arives).
Capacitice buttons are not backlight, black border arround the screen, the build quality is not that good same as redmi note 3….
290$ for the basic version. It’s redmi note 3 pro with 6.4 inch. Stupid
Agreed. Although it still looks like a good phone for the price, the redmi note 3 pro is a better deal.
If it had a slightly higher res screen, USB type-C or something else then I would be tempted, but as it stands, it’s too similar to the redmi note 3 pro.
Why stupid?? You know..they are people who love the phone just wishing the screen was bigger
They just upped the screen by 1″, added SD652 to the higher versions and added more storage, that’s it.
