Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Review - GIANT size, GIANT battery!

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Man, that battery life is crazy. Great job!

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Definitely

[@RedskullPro]

Jealous! I want one too!

[@PaulTech-Reviews]

yeah I definitely want to pick that phone up also. I need that battery life WOW Love these phones that can get 10 hrs +SOT.

[@RedskullPro]

Paul Tech i should be getting one on Monday or Tuesday as well. Zi is just always faster than me!

[@PaulTech-Reviews]

Redskull Nice will be looking forward to watching your review 👍

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Yup this phone gets unreasonable battery life. Not enough adjectives in the english language to describe this unreal battery life

[@ericawhitney1625]

Price range is from 259.99 to 269.99 dollars. Here are current coupons: couponsfromchina.com/2017/06/05/xiaomi-mi-max-2-464gb-golden-active-coupon-price-gearbest/ I hope it will be useful kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZbJf36pm56fesU

[@TheRogue1266]

I just bought this phone a week ago. And I love it! The phone has a little weight to her more than normal. That's probably because of the massive battery and steel body. But she feels strong. Yeah, 6.4 screen is quite large. It's definitely a Phablet. The functionality of the phone works beautifully. Phone calls sound good. The mic is sensitive to my voice I don't have to scream at the phone. With the phone having 4 gigs of RAM, I found no lagging when going in and out of apps or turning on the camera or looking through my gallery. Speakers and sound work very well. From a price standpoint compared to a performance issue it's well worth the buy. Now let's see how long this phone can stand up to longevity. If having a large bezels or small bezels, that's a personal choice......

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Glad you like it!

[@RedskullPro]

Great review! So much hair flying from the dog!!!

[@ZiReviewsTech]

We have more hair in the house than there is grass on the lawn

[@turinju]

I'm gonna buy Mi Max 2 instead of the iPad. As long as you use a Xiaomi phone, the bad attitude about Chinese phones is almost turned to positive.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I agree, but Xiaomis might not be enough to turn the tide. Also much cheaper than the iPad

[@kerstinbach289]

It's pretty cheap here - for 255.99 dollars couponsgearbest.com/2017/06/05/xiaomi-mi-max-2-464gb-golden-active-coupon-price-gearbest/ Sweet kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZbJf36pm56fesU

[@hdmedia7404]

Zi Reviews Tech Giantic and good phone but honestly... The front camera is crap! That's a major con for this MiMax2.

[@alfineputra]

It's kinda annoying that you only got those numbers of subs, you deserve more dude. Great vids

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Thanks, much appreciated

[@kevinpiovezan]

23h40m of screen on time? which scenario did you use on the test? brightness? downloaded video? KZbin video? what's​the video resolution? airplane mode? GPS on or off? and all that stuff kk thanks

[@kevinpiovezan]

Hughesy Tech I do check techtablets too, but I would love to see the battery test alone! kk

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I'll uplload the screenshot when I get back tonight. It was a 720p H.264 TV show, all network modules on, 50% brightness, and 23 hours playback. Someone asked me for a battery test at 100% brightness but I don't reall want to do another battery test lol, it takes too long.

[@kevinpiovezan]

Zi Reviews Tech I'll be waiting for it! thanks!!!! upload where? kk

[@kevinpiovezan]

Zi Reviews Tech anxious waiting for the screenshot! kk

[@seansmith6473]

Awesome bro, but where is the link? Mi forums users are after that 23 hours 40 minutes SOT screenshot. All radios on and 50% brightness 24 hours SOT almost wow! Great review by the way, i love the new style.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Who's watching at 360p? KZbin still not done processing :P

[@reginedominguez6484]

I am!

[@HuntaKiller91]

Zi Reviews Tech hows the mic while recording is it in stereo??

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Audio recording on front and back are fine, and not stereo, its just mono split into stereo

[@HuntaKiller91]

Zi Reviews Tech is it improving even compared to the redmi 4 prime?I just get cracks and unworthy sounds while recording vids

[@ZiReviewsTech]

You get crackling on the Prime or on the Mi Max 2?

[@4Runner1212]

Great review!! Makes me want one all the more!! thanks.

[@welykurniawan2509]

Hi zi, its always a pleasure watching your review. But can you give me a suggestion between mi max 2 and nubia m2, which one got better camera? Thx

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I never used the Nubia M2, but at the hype prices I recommend waiting for the price to go down, the MI Max 2

[@welykurniawan2509]

Thx alot zi

[@varunaX]

Hello nice review thanks. Not sure If you can answer this, but will the phone work in Canada?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Yes I am using it right now on FIdo

[@nyuon9247]

Loved the review Zi

[@Davidplays2016]

Hi Zi, this is the one that i really want to buy, i didnt know you got a review, now it solidify my want to buy this mi max 2.. i like big screens.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Best big phone you ever buy!

[@attilaszamosfalvi5749]

Great review! :) This phone is a monster... A giant IPS display, 4 GB RAM, enough performance to play high-end games, exceptional sound quality, 4K video recording and indescribably crazy battery life for mid-range price. A MUST HAVE!

[@ZiReviewsTech]

+Attila Szamosfalvi Yup battery life here is absolutely amazing

[@queennefertiti8586]

nice review;-) im planning to buy this because of the good battery. is xiaomi mas 2 better than lg v20?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

+Queen Nefertiti It's slower but way better battery. The V20 beats the xiaomi in every way except battery. But this is also cheaper

[@queennefertiti8586]

Zi Reviews Tech first,thanks alot for the reply☺ my current phone is v20 my main issue is battery and signal issues like wifi wise and calls... its frustrating....

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I heard about those problems from LG, if you swtich I think you will see the difference in speed of opening apps for about a week then get used to it. The battery life is crazy good though

[@queennefertiti8586]

Zi Reviews Tech thanks a lot zi appreciate it😊 awesome😊

[@waggingtailluna]

Its the perfect size that i was looking for. And the battery is just Mindblowing!

[@bankin06]

Hi Zi great video! Does this device get LTE in the US?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Hmm usually I would say no, but because this one has extra bands I'm not actually sure

[@fredgadget7120]

Great review. I had Xiaomi Mi Max and I sold it lack of camera, video resolution, Audio and finally it was too big. I wish it was 6 inch or at the least 6.2 it's too big...

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Haha for me 5.5" is too big so you can imagine 6.44"

[@fredgadget7120]

Zi Reviews Tech I love your videos. very honest genuine and professional. the only thing is you need to do unboxing as well then full review. People would know what is inside.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Fair enough will see what I can do

[@dattrax7]

Good review, thanks!!

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Thanks

[@tompjack]

Nice!, Could you compare with Redmi Note 4. Other than screen size, battery and gorilla glass is there any difference between them?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

You mean the SD625 Note 4 right? Just the camera is better

[@tompjack]

That's right the SD 625 4gb 64gb globel version

[@salmanmohd9924]

Thanks a lot. Please review stereo speakers in detail. Does stereo speakers have surround sound?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Not really, tweeters on the top, mids and the sub on the bottom. No stereo separation.

[@mohammedismail-fm1yx]

cool review by the way keep it up

[@ZiReviewsTech]

+mohammed ismail Thanks

[@mmahon10]

10 hours video, great review, btw can you fix the gizchina Link it's not coming up as a hotlink

[@mmahon10]

wow I was pretty wrong.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Fixed thanks. And haha cray right

[@azrulleomessi7748]

Very good reviews by you.. Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is wonderful phone. Great battery life with stellar performance for mid-range class.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Thanks! Keep in mind that when you think outside chinese phones, a SD625 is lower midrange, as the Snapdragon 660/650 are high midrange

[@jonasveryser2436]

Nice review, why don't they use a black screen instead?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

+Jonas Veryser Do you mean black bezels?

[@jonasveryser2436]

Zi Reviews Tech yes

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Yup they only have white for now which I think is a mistake.

[@indo8147]

Which is a better buy elephone S8 with the X25 chip or the mi max 2 with a snapdragon 625 chip?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Mi Max 2

[@johneecheehong2077]

Since the battery life is hard to kill, might as well set the brightness to 100% and not 50%, and if it still can last full day meaning 16 hours means waking up time to sleeping for heavy users, then we are talking.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I'll probably do that, but not all users use at 100% since many of us are indoors right? So I used 50% as an average.

[@veejgo6099]

Smoothest review i like it

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Smoothest... please explain what that means?

[@mrEbraheem]

I have Mi Max.. Do you think I should get Mi Max 2? I mainly use the tablet to play games. Games and only! You are right about the phone being too big to be daily driver...

[@ZiReviewsTech]

+Ibrahim Bahakim No there's no point to upgrade.

[@mrEbraheem]

Zi Reviews Tech thanks dude. I love your videos!

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Awesome!

[@ZiReviewsTech]

But if you already have a Mi Max 1 no point upgrading

[@mrEbraheem]

I care about anything but gaming. For me, Mi Max is like an iPad or something. Just used to play and that's it..

[@bigmic3785]

hey great review what size mirco sd card can this phone handle

[@atifghafoor6258]

Hello if I get 12 hours from the p2 how long will this last? Will it be substantially less because this has a bigger screen.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Should be about the same. Slightly bigger battery, slightly bigger screen

[@partofspeech4966]

I am not a gamer, i play subway surfers and nothing more but i am really concerning about cpu. is 625 that bad? does it affect that much?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Nope, light gaming not affected

[@partofspeech4966]

what about daily use? opening apps, searching web or watching high quality videos... you say i cant notice any difference. right?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Nope, more than fast enough for average use

[@ZiReviewsTech]

+partofspeech Yeah that's considered average use

[@partofspeech4966]

thanks a lot! I am going to buy it definitely but there is not a global rom yet, i think. when xiaomi will release a global rom, you have any idea?

[@fenbekus]

I like your dog 🐕 💓

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Thank you I HATE HIM

[@justinkelly1991]

@zistechreview will the xiaomi miax support American 4g or 4g lte networks like TMobile or metro pcs

[@ZiReviewsTech]

+Justin Kelly Don't believe so

[@justinkelly1991]

@zistechreview so what cell carrier will this phone will have the most reliable service with

[@ZiReviewsTech]

For USA? I think this phone doesn't get 4G at all in USA, only 3G.

[@geekliberty]

Would you recommend this as an upgrade to the nexus 6?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

That's a tough one, but I would still say yes

[@Maniamanea]

Can you use the cases from Xiaomi Mi Max on the Max 2?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I don't think so

[@Maniamanea]

That's a shame. They look the same size and since the cut-outs for fingerprinter, camera etc are in the same place no?

[@themountainboy4014]

this mi max 2 both sim slots support 4G network at the same time???

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Believe so

[@jamescatlover123]

24hrs screen time? impossible unless it got 10000mah battery like the one on oukitel k10000

[@ZiReviewsTech]

+joy santod 💯% possible. Look at the description there's a pic there. You know why? Because the Snapdragon 625 uses around 30-40% less battery than the mtk6750.

[@KingD-light]

I like it, but my huwaei media pad x2 is a 7 inch smart phone and I love it .

[@ZiReviewsTech]

You must have big hands :D

[@KingD-light]

Zi Reviews Tech got long fingers lol .

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Showoff :D

[@KingD-light]

Zi Reviews Tech lol 😂😂 I want the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 now 😀

[@YosefElgart]

why you cut the sot time???

[@hchiayt]

Can we add date stamp on the pictures?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Not with the stock camera app I don't think

[@jaqian]

Yes it's in Options on the camera. I'm running Android 7.1 and MIUI 9.5

[@XXTT1]

thank you for the video after seeing it just bought the phone

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Great news!

[@terminator7541]

hi wat about audio quality through headphones?? loudness?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Normal, nothing standing out

[@ashutoshsingh5631]

when will it launch in INDIA?

[@davidxrod]

How did ou get 4G LTE in USA with this phone? None of the US 4G LTE carriers are fully compatible with this phone.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I'm in Canada

[@381singh]

Zi Reviews Tech Does it work with freedom mobile? thanks

[@salmanmohd9924]

I consume a lot of multimedia on mi max, it worthy to buy mi max 2 for speakers?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Oh definitely the Mi Max 2 speakers have so much oommph. OOOMMPPHHFF. If that was enough to tell you the amount of oomph

[@indo8147]

Is the new honor X7 for $200.00 a better phone than the new mi max 2

[@ZiReviewsTech]

For me no because battery life will not be as good

[@kelPrins]

Compared to the OnePlus 3, how big is the diffrence?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

A lot slower. But wayy better battery

[@kelPrins]

Zi Reviews Tech hmm, waiting for the next mi max than xd

[@ZiReviewsTech]

mi max 3?

[@kelPrins]

Zi Reviews Tech yeah, i assume the mi max 3 is gonna be even better, and next year my OP3 is outdated. so it would be perfect only thing im afraid of is that i can't handle such a big phone :')

[@jaymercines5880]

excited for the giveaway :)

[@MrUploadvideo2]

Do you have any information about another colors for this phone?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I think there's only champagne, grey and some other white colour, no black. Hey that's racist! I'm an asian who wants to be black! I mean.... wants a black phone....

[@devilangel266]

which camera is better max 2 or mi 5x, thanks

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Mi Max 2

[@sidikaza7279]

like always,, good and honest review.. i hope you will get 100.000 subcribres in december 2017,

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Thanks

[@7skies246]

This or Mi Pad 3, Which should i buy?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Both! But if I had to choose, Mi Max 2

[@harekrishna9038]

which one to buy redmi note 4 or mi max 2??? reply

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I would take the Mi Max 2 if I am a millionaire. But Redmi Note 4 if I'm poor

[@harekrishna9038]

okay thanks for the reply

[@umminsyirah3963]

hi , if my main purpose is for business? to snap photos of my products, fb, whatsapp..etc..not a gamer..wud u recommend mi max 2, or redmi note 4? if budget isnt my concern..i do want gud camera, storage, n battery though..n also ofcz excellent perfomance.. tq

[@bupekaonga]

18 hours video playback I'm sure

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Higher!

[@PUR3H8]

2:05 film title?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Fist of Legend

[@arunmani6878]

I wanna know whether it survive a drop test

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Too expensive...

[@harisnaim6332]

Does it heat very fast?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

No

[@robertkubrick3738]

Must be good, because Zi really doesn't like large phones! Not that he hates them, just doesn't like them.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Yup to be honest i actually enjoy using the Mi Max 2 more than my Zuk Z2 but only at home where its safer from damage than outside.

[@robertkubrick3738]

I have a Max2 on order. I don't need bleeding edge speed. I'd probably be even happier with a quad core. But since It doesn't compromise any of the things I want, I will just have to accept that it is fairly snappy.

[@sarathvv2771]

Is mi max2 used as tablet?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

You can

[@KumaSelf]

Mi Max 2 is almost perfect if not for the display. Put it aside another phone (cloudfone thrill plus which is a $60 phone) and you'll notice how washed out it is.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Its not that bad, its not an AMOLED though

[@KumaSelf]

Zi Reviews Tech Hmm, not being an amoled does not mean that I shouldn't expect it to be good. The colors are washed out and that is coming from a guy who never used an amoled phone in his life. It is a great phone though if you can forgive the screen. PS: I have never bought a phone that's higher than $200.

[@9222239973]

hiii this phone had HD Audio setting like MI MIX

[@ZiReviewsTech]

You mean the rotating thing?

[@jessielees]

looks like a perfect small tablet, which is exactly what I want it for since nobody wants to make a good 7" tablet anymore.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Yup no more Nexus 7

[@DenmasUlin]

No LED backlit?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Yes it is, just can't see it outdoors

[@SohaibWildanKhan84]

I'm going to buy today

[@ZiReviewsTech]

+Sohaib Wildan Khan Great!

[@Britec09]

I like the phone it looks nice.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Thanks!

[@j.aravindreddy9482]

is the mobile getting hot sooner like other xiomi products!!!

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Yup

[@nyuon9247]

Please do a review of the DOOGEE MIX

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Will try

[@adriannicolae6203]

too bad xiaomi didn.t add a version with at least snapdragon 650....

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Man if they did I would be all over that

[@pichanonpaoumnauywit1043]

if they do, it will kill every phone that they have lol

[@ankitpawar6393]

[@ZiReviewsTech]

High, I think

[@Reddylion]

[@Dylan78ful]

Cute dog

[@worldloganone7693]

what's the price

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Starts at around $379

[@jomersamar3196]

Waiting for mi max 3 release

[@daemiax]

I will be replacing my LG G5 with this(Mi Max 2), once my 2 year Contract ends ( unfortunately the providers here don't have Xiaomi Phones , so , I can't re-negociate my contract )

[@ZiReviewsTech]

In USA?

[@daemiax]

In Romania :)

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Oh haha

[@tlc4928]

No 4g lte in the US xxxxxxx!

[@suliemanali8671]

Watching on the mi max 2 .... I get 12 to 13 hrs of screen-on time

[@ZiReviewsTech]

That seems low

[@suliemanali8671]

LOL how is THAT low :D You`re right they should just pack a power bank inside the phone with 20 or 30 thousand mah :D

[@nellyfurtado3317]

worth to upgrade from mi max 1?

[@leowong8777]

Nelly Furtado Not Yet. I did heard that Xiaomi will be releasing the Mi Max 3 in January 2018.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Agree no point

[@billydorney9647]

Liked it

[@harekrishna9038]

Mi A1 or Mi Max 2

[@ZiReviewsTech]

I would pick the Mi A1 because stock android

[@harekrishna9038]

can you do a camera comparison between A1 and max 2 ? please

[@andthesunsets]

That's a tan alright.

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Seriously I'm tanned? Probably because I just went to Mexico for work

[@andthesunsets]

Oh cool, what was in Mexico?

[@ZiReviewsTech]

Work..... stuff. I was overseeing equipment installs there.

[@TechCilium]

jealous of that battery 🤥🤥
