Xiaomi’s 6.44-inch whopping phablet is quite a capable handset base on its specs. It seems that specs-wise, both smartphones do have their strong points and weak points. A few, in particular, is the more impressive camera shooters of the Xperia XA Ultra and the options provided by the Mi Max in RAM and ROM capacity.
As expected, Xiaomi tops the battery department with its 4850mAh battery capacity, though Sony is known to build handsets that could run for a decent amount of time, so things might still be between at that department.
