Xiaomi Mi Max - Part 2

[sjchai75]

You have got the point. Let me enable the VOLTE on my other Mi Max on StarHub and test calling again later..

I enabled mine for M1. Let's see whether I got that or not. Last month, when I was in China, using China Mobile, I can see my call and data speed reached 4G+.

For sure all Telco support. It's just whether they block it for our phone.

Maybe can check with your Telco also whether your plan has the clear voice/HD voice etc add on to use Volte

Brand new Mi Max 1 3/64GB around $207 worth to buy?

Brand new Mi Max 1 3/64GB around $207 worth to buy?

I would say not worth it. 3/64 should be less than 180. For 207, it should be a brand new 4/128.

is it possible to change the battery ourself
is the soldering simple or got funnie connections

Thanks. So if I can get the 4/64 mi max 2 for about $230 to $240, is it a better bargin?

will the price of max 2 go lower with max 3?

 

[touchme]

will the price of max 2 go lower with max 3?

Depends on how much miMax3 launch price is.

Depends on how much miMax3 launch price is.

Personally I find the Max 3 specs of 7 inches quite appalling for a phone. Even at 18:9, it's going to be larger than Samsung Note 8 .

Mi Max 6.4 inch already much bigger than note 8

Hey guys, for those Mi Max 1 users with the snapdragon 650.

Does the phone tend to heat up during long gaming? Does it throttle often?

It's inevitable. The S650/652 are based on 28nm and has higher performance cores when compared to the S625/S626 that's used in many of the newer device even with lower performance cores but using 14nm.

So if you compare it to more current devices using 8x Cortex A53 (Like S625/626/630) and also newer chips like S636/S660 for sure it should be generating more heat.

For gamming, SD625 is slow vs SD650.

I have max 1 and Note 3. What is heat? What is throttling?

I only see and feel max 2 slower.

 

[Sausage]

did anyone here change their mi max 1 battery themselves? is it difficult?

You sure no throttling??

It's smooth playing most of the time but some game can really kick it into overdrive then heat up and start throttling.

I am not saying that other phone won't act the same playing the same games ya...

Tbh, I don't play games. I have a dedicated console for that.
But everyday tasks, the mm2 is significantly slower.

So even before mm1 starts throttling, if it ever does, it is already faster than mm2 which probably feels like choking all the time.
