Xiaomi Mi Max 2 shows up online

When talking about the handsets we encountered in many rumors lately, Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is not an outsider. In fact, it could become official later today, as it is expected to launch next to the long-awaited Xiaomi Mi6 and Mi6 Plus flagships.

A few images of the upcoming Mi Max 2 phablet surfaced on Weibo this week, revealing an all-metal device with a gold finish. The unit in the leaked images is protected by a clear case, so it is possible to see that included in the retail package as a freebie. Sadly, there is no dual camera setup visible, only a LED flash.

The rumors we heard so far revealed the following Mi Max 2 highlights: Qualcomm Snapdragon 626, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB internal storage, 5 MP and 12 MP front/back cameras, a full HD 6.4-inch display, 4G LTE, IR blaster, USB Type-C, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack. These should still be taken with a grain of salt for now, but we should know everything about the Mi Max 2 in a day or two, so stay tuned.
