Xiaomi Mi Max 2 expected to launch next week

The latest rumors claim that the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 phablet would arrive next to the Xiaomi Mi6 (and its Plus variant, most likely) on April 19. Although Xiaomi did not confirm any details yet, the latest rumors reveal quite a few highlights of this upcoming 6.44-inch handset.

If the rumors turn out to be correct, the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 should hit the market with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor inside, powered by a 5,000 mAh battery and running Android 7.1 Nougat. The 6.44-inch display is expected to have the same resolution as that of the Xiaomi Mi Max, namely full HD. A 5 MP front camera has also been mentioned by the rumors we heard so far, but there is no info about the main image snapper.

This massive handset is expected to come in two variants - standard, priced around $217 USD, and a more powerful one with a price tag around $246 USD. The differences between them will probably be in the memory and storage departments. No matter if it launches or not, we should hear more about the Mi Max 2 next week, so stay tuned.
