Xiaomi Mi Max First Look

Xiaomi is taking the Indian market very seriously. The last couple of months have seen one launch after another, and it seems more are in the pipeline. After the budget Redmi Note 3, and the premium Mi 5, Xiaomi now wants to tap a different market in the smartphone segment: the one where the lines between a tablet and phone are blurred. While 5.5-inch displays on smartphones are now standard, Mi Max pushes the boundaries further with its 6.44-inch display. Is bigger always better? We don’t really know, but smartphone companies seem to be convinced. Perhaps that can explain the flood of 6GB RAM phones. In case of Mi Max, this device is all about the display, and in India Xiaomi wants to tap a market that doesn’t quite exist yet. There aren’t too many options with a 6-inch plus display; Lenovo Phab Plus is one that comes to my mind.
