In Lei Jun's microblog earlier, the author found that everyone seemed to be very vocal about Xiaomi Max 3, while Love to play computer games I also got this giant screen phone at the first time. After experiencing it for a few days, I found that it was not defective on the whole, but it was a bit insipid.
Configuration list:
Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC
4/6GB memory, 64/128GB storage
6.9 inch screen, 2160 x 1080 resolution, 18:9, LCD material, Tianma screen Video Mode
5500 mAh battery
12 million+5 million pixels（ S5K2L7 + S5K5E8 ）
Fingerprint identification from Huiding
The price of 4+64 and 6+128 is ¥ 1699 and ¥ 1999 respectively.
appearance
Compared with the previous generation of Max 2, Xiaomi Max 3 has improved in appearance, mainly due to its higher proportion of screens, so after the screen is lit, Max 3 looks more handsome. In terms of grip, it is always slippery, so you should pay more attention to it when you use it at ordinary times. Moreover, the official did not give protective shells like other "Xiaomi series", so you have to spend some money to buy them.

（ Bottom of fuselage ）
Other parts of the fuselage are still the same: rear fingerprint, Type-C interface, 3.5mm headphone interface, infrared transmitter, etc. The difference from the previous generation is that the Max 3 is equipped with a vertical dual camera and a virtual button without the chin.
In terms of appearance, the performance of the Xiaomi Max 3 is relatively standard, there is no special highlight, nor does it follow the trend to adopt Liu Haiping（ That's good ）, although not handsome, it is also endurable. In addition to fingerprint unlocking, Max 3 also supports AI face unlocking, which is very fast, but unfortunately, the author printed out his own color big head photo and cut it, and then cracked it instantly, so we should not have too much confidence in face unlocking with non 3D structured light（ For details, see the video evaluation at 01:01 ）。
screen
As the main selling point of this machine, Xiaomi Max 3 is equipped with a 6.9 inch screen, 2160 x 1080 resolution, LCD material, 18:9 screen ratio, and the panel supplier is from Tianma, Video Mode。
After professional screen test, the following data are obtained:
Standard mode: color temperature 6627K; Color gamut: 96.8%; SRGB average Δ E: 1.8（ The smaller the better ）。
Enhancement mode: color temperature 7640K; Color gamut: 99.4%; SRGB average Δ E: 3（ The smaller the better ）。
Intelligent mode: color temperature 6756K（ Warm color ）； Color gamut: 99.3%; SRGB average Δ E: 3（ The smaller the better ）。
To sum up, the objective data is as good as ever, but the appearance performance is relatively ordinary. The top of our Max 3 screen is a bit dark, and the visual angle performance is not particularly good. As a product that mainly consumes entertainment content, this defect should not appear.
performance
The Xiaomi Max 3 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC. Officially, there are 4+64 and 6+128 versions. What we get is the top configuration.
This 636, which may inherit the name of 625 god U, can hit the Snapdragon 625, 630, Exynos 7872 and Kirin 659 on the ground in terms of CPU performance, but there is still a big gap with the Snapdragon 660, especially the GPU performance.
Running minutes
In terms of running score, it is almost the same as several Snapdragon 636 machines we have tested before, but the random writing score of Max 3 is very high.
At the same time, we also used GameBench to test the frame rate of the stimulating battlefield. When high-definition image quality, high frame rate, anti aliasing, etc. are all enabled, it can relatively stably hover around 30fps (left , because it cannot exceed 30fps ）Of course, frame dropouts still occur during parachute dropping and drag racing. This performance is quite unexpected, because the Snapdragon 821 with stronger GPU performance cannot reach this level~
Our Max 3 has run MIUI 10 based on Android 8.1 from the factory. The new version of MIUI has many improvements, such as better gesture operation, some redesigned UI interfaces, and so on.

Charging&endurance
（ Charging curve ）
The official standard is equipped with a QC3.0 fast charging head, which can support up to 9V 2A. After measurement, the charger is connected at 32% of the time, and the power fluctuates between 17W-18W. The Xiaomi Max 3 is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 5500 mAh. It takes 2 hours and 8 minutes to charge from 5% to full power. It takes a long time. After all, the battery is large.
（ Endurance comparison ）
In terms of battery life, after our two-hour battery life test: 30 minutes of large-scale games, video watching, WiFi Internet access and 4G Internet access, the remaining power is 88%, which is basically recharged every two days. In addition to its strong endurance, Max 3 also supports reverse charging, which can charge other devices. Just buy a Type-C to Type-C or Type-C to Lightning cable.
photograph
Xiaomi Max 3 can be said to be an enlarged version of Hongmi Note 5. They not only have the same SoC and screen resolution, but also have the same camera hardware. All S5K2L7 with f/1.9 aperture（ 12 megapixel, no optical anti shake ）, featuring 1.4 μ m unit pixel and dual core focusing, which is much better than the Max 2 IMX386. The sub shots are all S5K5E8 with 5 million pixels.

summary
In fact, the Xiaomi Max 3 is aimed at a very specific audience: users who like large screens, have strong endurance, and have no special requirements. Otherwise, at the price of 1699 yuan and 1999 yuan, you can buy the more powerful Xiaomi 8 SE, or buy the cheaper 636 machine, the Hongmi Note5.
If you already have a main machine, but want to buy a large screen device and do not want to spend too much money, the Xiaomi Tablet 4 will also be a good choice: the cheaper and more powerful Snapdragon 660 SoC.
From the perspective of the whole evaluation content, the Xiaomi Max 3, although not lacking in anything, is really a bit bland. Even when I started the title of this evaluation article, I couldn't think of any suitable words to describe it.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with using the Xiaomi Max 3. I feel that the correct way to open the Xiaomi Max 3 is to equip a Snapdragon 710 SoC, raise the price and give it a different positioning（ Only for my personal opinion ）。
