On May 25, Xiaomi officially launched its second generation large screen mobile phone, Xiaomi Max 2, in Beijing. Like Xiaomi Max, it focuses on the large screen as its selling point. The difference is that this Xiaomi Max 2 has adopted an excellent appearance design, and its battery capacity has been improved to 5300mAh. At the same time, it is equipped with the same IMX386 sensor as Xiaomi 6, It is a pity that the SoC adopts the Snapdragon 625, whose performance is worse than that of Xiaomi Max.

Although the Xiaomi Max 2 is large, its package is very compact. After opening the outer package of Xiaomi Max 2, you can see a Xiaomi Max 2 body, a charging head, a USB Type-C data cable, a pin and the manual.

The Xiaomi Max 2 adopts an integrated metal design, with rounded curved edges on the side and two metal partition strips with injection molding process on the back. Although the 6.44-inch screen is not light and compact, the actual size is only 174.1mm x 88.7mm x 7.6mm, smaller than the "6.44-inch mobile phone" in our impression. For users like the author who use 5.5 inch mobile phones all the year round, the holding feeling is acceptable.

The Xiaomi Max 2 abandoned the antenna processing method on the Xiaomi Max and adopted a more beautiful and mature injection molding process. The arc frame processing also gives it a better grip than the previous generation of Max.

This Xiaomi Max 2 uses the mainstream USB Type-C interface, and is also equipped with dual power amplifier stereo speakers.

The black edge of Xiaomi Max 2 is obviously narrower than that of the previous generation of Max.

If we don't talk about SoC, we can say that Xiaomi Max 2 has a great improvement over Xiaomi Max. The appearance design of Xiaomi Max is absolutely much better than that of Xiaomi Max. From the appearance, Xiaomi Max gives a feeling of a thousand yuan tablet. Although the appearance design of Xiaomi Max 2 is not as amazing as that of Xiaomi 6, it has at least been out of the category of "thousand yuan tablet"; In the case of little difference between the three dimensions and the body weight, the Xiaomi Max 2 uses a battery up to 5300mAh, which in theory must have better endurance than the Xiaomi Max; Although it is not equipped with optical anti shake, the IMX386 it carries has started to make people have some expectations for its photos.

Of course, it can be seen that Xiaomi Max 2 will focus more on the large screen users than Xiaomi Max. Although Xiaomi Max 2's Snapdragon 625 is indeed inferior to Xiaomi Max's Snapdragon 652 in performance, the more advanced 14nm process is adopted by the Snapdragon 625, which will be more advantageous than the Snapdragon 652 in power saving. We can understand it as a compromise of Xiaomi Max 2. You can even extend this compromise to Xiaomi Max 2 without 2K screen The rear camera of the Xiaomi Max 2 is not equipped with optical anti shake, large aperture (F2.2), etc., because if the Xiaomi Max 2 is made to be the ideal shape, it will never sell at the price of 1699 yuan, which will lead to problems such as poor endurance and feel. Obviously, from the perspective of the pricing, parameter configuration and appearance design of the Xiaomi Max 2, the target audience should be I like watching TV dramas on a large screen. I have very high requirements for mobile phone endurance Large screen mobile phones are very dedicated and budget limited user groups.
