Xiaomi Mi Max

Not bad leh, mocolo at US$3.50

----------------------

On a side note: Just did a charge... 34-69% took 1 hour.

been 2 days, Beta 8.6.9.8 still nothing, got such thing as wrong beta version?

Online merchant also have their own "global" ROM already.

Postman just delivered to me 5 minutes ago!

The Mocolo's non-white dots and non-rainbow Full SP 2.5D (White plate)! Guarantee and chopped!


This is an extra piece I bought as my gf has gotten her own SP the other day!

I will keep it as a spare for her as well as for myself in the unfortunately event that she or me break the original Mocolo SP! Touch wood!

From here you got it?

Finally got a hand to play with one Mi Max and clear some of the questions many people asked. This phone is from Smart*.
1. Phone is 32G global version out of seal box. You can identify it via the screen protector. Is in English and not Chinese characters.
2. No fake rom. You can update via ota.
3. There is no QC2.0 or QC3.0 support as many people think. Verified and confirmed with USB checker and QC3.0 charger. It stay at 5v, just higher charging current.

 

[kandinsky]

It stay at 5v, just higher charging current.

How high does your current go? Mine the current stays around 2A, but voltage will go up to 7.55V.

So far max 7.55V*2.04A = 15.4W, which is just 2.6W short of the 18W maximum under QC spec. So while it may not be QC, but 85% of the way there is good enough for me. Haha.

How do you measure 7.55v? If QC standard, it is suppose to be 9v or 12v. QC2.0 is 18W max. Forgotten to take the current value (think is 5.12v and 1.6A+), only notice is much higher then my Note 4.

QC standard is about charging at higher voltage with lower current and in nett, higher wattage.

But it must be formatted to FAT32 right? I bought one today but it can't be detected.

yes i am using 128 set with 128GB samsung evo+ card no problems

Most micro SD cards are now pre-formatted in exFAT. Just use the phone to format the SD card.

Doneeeeee. Yay

It do supports QC2.0/3.0, though not at maximal efficiency.


With QC 3.0 ( ~15W )

With normal non QC port (~7.5W)

I can't remember does the screen say anything different when connected to QC? I have a Samsung fast charger from my S7 Edge which I plan to use... once it runs out of battery.

 

[Devilsire]

And lastly, optimal QC3.0 speed for reference at max ~20W (charging of the latest Xiaomi Pro powerbank)

The mi max and RMN3 both benefit from the use of Quick Charge charger as mentioned by gsmarena.

"Note that while the Xiaomi Mi Max does not come bundled with a Quick Charger, it can definitely benefit from a Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 power brick. The charger we got in the box was 5V * 2A = 10W, but we got readings as high as 15W with several Quick Chargers we tried (the exact voltage and amps differed, but total power was always 14W-15W). So you can expect a 40%-50% bump in charging speed if you have a more powerful charger at home."

how come my phone only support 1A charging at 5volts??? my charger can output 5V, 2.4A but when measure only charging at 1A

 

[zone123]

2.4A is only an indication only.

[Phen8210]

2.4A is only an indication only.

what do you mean by that?, means my charger will not be able to output 2.4A at 5V?? it hit 1.5A when charging my very old samsung tablet. So i find it very weird. I am using an aukey charger.

Using usb checker. Actually, QC3.0 spec offers dynamic voltage. 3.6v to 20v at 200mV increments.

It also supports wider voltage options, allowing a mobile device to dynamically adjust to the ideal voltage level supported by that specific device. Specifically, Quick Charge 3.0 offers a more granular range of voltages: 200mV increments, from 3.6V to 20V. That way your phone can target one of dozens of power levels.

With QC 3.0 ( ~15W )

Naise, very similar values to mine, also peaks at about 15W.
7.28V/2.08A = 15.14W
7.55V/2.04A = 15.4W

Jumping from Redmi Note 3 Pro to Mi Max. Poison from all bros here made me cannot resist.
