Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Images Leak Ahead of Expected Wednesday Launch - NDTV


Xiaomi is set to launch the Mi 6 flagship at an event in Beijing on Wednesday, and alongside it, the Chinese manufacturer is also rumoured to launch the Mi Max 2. Just a day ahead of the launch, the Mi Max 2 render images have been leaked, and it gives us a fair idea on the design details of the device.

The images were leaked on Weibo, and they unfortunately do not reveal the front of the device. The Mi Max 2 is seen sporting a full-metal body, with the camera and flash situated on the top left corner at the back. Furthermore, the images reveal dual speaker grilles at the bottom edge of the device and a USB Type-C port. The 3.5mm audio jack is seen on the top of the device, and the fingerprint scanner is situated in the centre at the back, just like its predecessor. Apart from the Micro-USB to USB Type-C port change, there's hardly any design difference from its predecessor. Notably, the camera and flash placement has been reversed.

Past leaks suggest that the phone will come in variants 4GB RAM + Snapdragon 626 SoC and 6GB RAM + Snapdragon 660 SoC and will be priced between CNY 1,499 (roughly Rs. 14,000) and CNY 1,699 (roughly Rs. 15,900) respectively.

The rumour mill also tips that the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 will run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out-of-the-box and will sport a 6.44-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display. The phone is expected to house a large capacity 5000mAh battery. In terms of optics, the smartphone has been tipped to feature a 12-megapixel rear camera with Sony IMX378 sensor and a 5-megapixel camera at front for taking selfies. Earlier, the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 was expected to be launched by the company in May.
