Xiaomi Mi Max - Part 2

[kelvinti]

Looking at and comparing the current price tag of 3/32 and 3/64, it is more value for money to go for 3/64 for faster cpu.

4/128 is still at the $350-$400 region. It is beyond the $300 limit of budget.

Having said that, 4/128 is also worth to buy if one ups his or her budget as the price has came down a lot too.

In summary:

If your budget is around $200, go for 3/32.

If your budget is around $300, go for 3/64.

If your budget is around $400, go for 4/128.

*Note that the above mentioned is based on an Export set.

$349 from Challenger.

Forget about challenger or Mi store. Is currently around 100 dollars more unless you must have 1 year warranty.

Anyone is facing charging problem for 8.1.6?
My phone battery doesnt increase during charge when using.
From 10 percent to 100 percent take more than 10 hrs.

My phone has gone through hardship( uncountable drops, motorcycle crash, van & motorcycle drove pass) so i do not know the hardware is damaged or is it due to software.

It could be that the charging port or battery cell itself already faulty after so many mishaps.

To confirm it, use another charging adapter and another USB cable to change to see the result...

Thanks for the tip about OgYoutube and Adguard, now no ads with better YouTube interface.

Initially I removed YouTube but it broke certain app YouTube function since they don't recognise OgYoutube.

Also installed Fingerprint Quick Action to lock screen with fingerprint.

Both primes are using sd652 whereas non prime using sd650.

Bro, non primes have 2 cores of 652, primes have 4 cores. Both models also have 4 cores of 650, making a total of 6 or 8 cores.

OP and VI uses resellers at third and fourth tier cities in CN for greater outreach, which Xiaomi didn't do that. Hence the numbers of volume they had, and can easily manipulated.

And their marketing model is different. Resellers get a bigger profit from selling OPPOs and Vivos, thus they tend to stock and promote these phones more in the rural regions. This in turn brings up the sales of their brand more than Xiaomi.

I was in Batam over the new year period and was surprised that OPPO ads were all over the malls/booths. They didn't use to have such a presence in Indonesia before that so I guess their marketing model works.

Actually it is not true that Xiaomi has no reseller in China. They have many Mi store in many city. Also they do have store in those major department store like Shunling (<< spelling may be wrong, is a big chain like local HN).

Last I read from comments here, mi max supports, but no use if the telco doesn't enable it for that particular device.

Coz Xiaomi refuses to pay extra fees to telcos here to include VoLTE...?

That's one tough sob..
I've also dropped countless times, and still fine, think about it, more resilient than all the other premium brands I used in the past.

If you buy, remember to change currency to RU cause it's cheaper.

Bought a few aluminum and metal case and tried them...

Within a minute, I threw them away and use back my simple and humble 0.3mm TPU transparent case.

Those simi aluminum and metal, hard shell case just make my Mi Max so bulky to hold in hand and looks ugly. So freaking regret buying them and wasting my hard earned pocket money from my parents!

I know, tpu case turns yellowish. But hey, at that cheap price of just $2.00 per tpu case from online store, I could buy 10 tpu case and keep changing to the next brand new tpu case as and when I feel that the current one has turned too yellowish to my liking and it costs just $20.00 in total...

What can I say and ask for more!
