Seems to be a Mi A1 released same specification but also has band 20. I wish the battery was bigger though!

Great review Skyler!
I've decided that I like bezels, front facing speakers, capacitive vs on screen buttons, a place to hold in landscape mode, protection for the edges of the screen, a place for sensors and camera.
Full screen Mi Mix, look great, but too many reasons for bezels.

[akiratoriyama]

You're right about the design of the phones.

[jonasdj]

Hej s7yler. Har du nogen erfaring med Xiaomi mi máx 2?

[iainmann]

Does this phone have NFC for Android Pay? Seems some of the Mi5 variants do, and some don't.

[chiclone-tests]

Picture quality looks pretty nice, but the rest seems very uninspired...

Xiaomi does not support the EU market - so no B20 support and not CE & RoHS certified and not Google GMS certified
