Xiaomi has officially launched the Mi Max 2 in China and soon will arrive in the Philippines either thru online stores or first Mi store.
The new phablet packs a handful of improvements over the original Mi Max. These changes include the bigger 5,300 mAh battery while supporting Quick Charge 3.0 and a brighter 12MP main camera (same as Mi 6).
Equipped with a Snapdragon 625, the performance is a slight step down over the SD 650/652 in exchange to a more efficient and longer battery life. Both RAM and internal storage have been upgraded with the base model starting at 4GB + 64GB expandable memory.

In terms of design, the Chinese manufacturer promises better handling and more premium looks, thanks to the thinner bezels and repositioned antenna lines.
