Xiaomi MI Max review

Image
This is my short review of the Xiaomi MI Max, having used the phone for a week.  Coming from an (already large) Huawei Mate 8, I was looking for something a bit different, and something that was dual SIM. This phone ticks both those boxes and many others.  Here is the summary (full review to follow): Pros : 1 - the screen, at 6.44 inches, is massive. You will struggle to find a mainstream mobile with a screen as large as this one.  2 - the screen resolution is also nice and crisp. Decent but not great sunlight viewability.  3 - the battery is massive. 4850mah (most Samsungs come in around 3000mah). Lasts a full day of heavy use or multiple days of medium / light use between charges  4 - the price. Got mine for R4399 from Takealot. Next day delivery. Less than 25% of the price of a Samsung S8. Madness  5 - it's dual SIM. So you can use your current SIM and then add an additional one for cheap data, or add a memory card if the 32GB on board memory is
