Xiaomi Mi Max Hands-on Video

Xiaomi has gone with a unibody metal construction on the Mi Max as well, similar to the Redmi Note 3. In-fact the Mi Max just looks like a blown-up RN3. But the camera module has been moved to the left, possibly to make space for the massive battery. Considering that there is close to a 5000 mAh battery inside it is quite a thin device at just 7.5mm but weighs in at 203 grams. There are soft curves on the sides and curved glass in the front coupled with metal chamfers which would make the grip-ability a bit better.

Connectivity options are plenty here, dual-SIM 4G LTE with VoLTE support on all carriers in India but it uses a hybrid SIM slot arrangement which means you have to use the second SIM card slot if you want to expand storage. Then there's dual-band WiFi, GPS, FM Radio as well as NFC. A fingerprint sensor is also present on the back of the device.
