    Wow thats a big phone.. my Note4 is big at 5.7". Sounds like a lot of phone for the $.

      Do you feel like you could go bigger after having a 5.7"? Personally I'm not sure if I'd like a 6.44"..

      • Diji1 on 18/05/2016 - 23:47

        I went from a 5.5" Note to a Z Ultra 6.4" and I definitely reached my size limit. However the bezels are much smaller on this device so maybe it wouldn't be such a PITA ;)

      • garage sale on 19/05/2016 - 03:23

        once it no longer fits into a pocket I,loose interest my 5.6" phone just still makes it into my shirt pocket. so,I can put it somewhere when I sit down to eat and not worry about forgetting it.

  • jackau on 18/05/2016 - 21:57

    i would get one if i can get the 4GB version at this price

    it is one of the biggest phone out there but it may not be for every one given the size of that thing
    the chipsets today are more than enough to run all the way to Android 8.0 with 4G ram

    • garage sale on 19/05/2016 - 03:26

      that is if they decide to support 2 more updates to android or have moved onto the next model …. android don't seem to support updates to phones as long as Apple …. I guess with android once sales plummet for a model why waste money supporting updates if it doesn't lead to new sales.

      • DJ-Studd on 19/05/2016 - 08:24

        Cyanogenmod, etc.

      • jackau on 23/05/2016 - 01:23

        correct, that's the problem of designed obsolescence, units such as Nexus 4 can run 6.0 perfectly but its internal battery did not allow it unless changed at this stage of its product life
        and yet android stop supporting it officially.

        Apple still support Macs all the way back to 2009 on the other hand…. and iPhone 5 in 2012

        android flagships should be supported for at least 36 months in software not just 24 month max, else no point getting them with the premium, just buy two mid ranges from chinese makers be more economical than a LG Samsung Nexus flagship

        • eug on 23/05/2016 - 01:35

          Apple still support Macs all the way back to 2009

          Microsoft just ended support for Windows XP in 2014. That's 13 years after it was released.
          Windows 7 is still supported too, that came out in 2009.

          and iPhone 5 in 2012

          Mmm the number of complaints I've seen about old iphones running slowly after a large update makes me wonder if it's worth upgrading at all.

      I was about to purchase Ulefone Future (http://www.banggood.com/Ulefone-Future-5_5-Inch-4GB-RAM-32GB…)

      What do you think when you compare it with Xiomi????

      • AMLagonda on 19/05/2016 - 16:25

        MTK MT6755 Octa core 1.95GHz, 64Bit vs Snapdragon 650 1.82GHz

        Ulefone would need a bigger battery but it has a smaller battery than the Xiomi but this Xiaomi Mi Max is a huge phone and is not similar to the Ulefone Future.

  • scuderiarmani on 18/05/2016 - 22:17

    Realistically spec wise, what sorta say Samsung phone would this be the equal of? Thinking of when my and my parents phones need replacing… Wouldn't want to feel like it's a complete step back.

    • PR0r on 18/05/2016 - 22:23

      At a guess the S6. Its CPU is quick and is very capable. 3GB RAM helps to keep apps more "alive" when switching between.

      • iridiumstem on 19/05/2016 - 03:32

        If it was 652, maybe, but 650 is more like Snapdragon 808. 2 A72 + 4 A53 is similar to 2 A57 + 4 A53 combination. So around LG G4 for CPU?
        GPU was slightly worse, I believe? That said, with FHD screen, it'd probably perform similar?

        • brentsbits on 19/05/2016 - 05:58

          All I can say is I have the note pro 3 with the SD650 in it and it does along nicely. I play lots of games and it doesn't even stutter a little.

          I'm so happy with it I might wait until the successor to the 820 comes out. Originally I was using this as a temporary phone until the Mi5 came down in price but now I'm in no rush at all to replace it

          @brentsbits: My comment was more of a technical thing than anything, hexa-core vs octa-core and all; Snapdragon 650 shares really similar configuration in CPU to 808 was where I was coming from, Snapdragon 652 shares similar configuration in CPU to Snapdragon 810 and Exynos 7420.

          GPU is something that I am uncertain about, since it's not as clear cut as CPU. I assume it's good, judging from your comment.

        • ebosh on 19/05/2016 - 09:57

          @brentsbits:
          I'm in the same boat as you from the sounds of things. I bought the RN3Pro a month ago as a bit of a holdover until the mi5 dropped in price and I don't game. After using it for the last couple of weeks I can't see any need to upgrade unless something comes along with NFC and tap-to-wake for a similar price (not holding my breath)

      Slightly faster than an LG G4 but not at the 8 series CPU speeds. More than adequate in other words unless you care about 3D games or you have some special reason for wanting the fastest SoC ;)

      if they throw at 2k or more screen on it, it be 100 more cause the gpu required to run that, just look what happen with Sonys 4k phone they cant power the screen with the GPU had to super sample the OS on its 4k 5.5 inch screen.
      the mi max is still at apple retina display density.

      • ScaryZombie on 18/05/2016 - 23:55
        +3

        Not to mention the sacrifice in increased battery consumption from having a higher resolution. At ~342ppi you'll barely be able to distinguish the pixels during normal usage.

        • ronnknee on 19/05/2016 - 09:43

          With 4850 mAh battery capacity, I wouldn't worry too much about power consumption.

          Just for a basic comparison, I currently have a Samsung Note 4 that has 5.7" 2K screen and 3220 mAh. That means the Mi Max has an increase of roughly 28% in screen area and 50% in battery life.

          If the Mi Max had an equivalent processor (and all else are equal), I reckon it's unlikely the increase in power consumption is anywhere close to 50%.

          I know that you won't be able to distinguish pixels. Just that with a higher resolution, you can have smaller text, smaller icons and therefore fit more content.

          Like I said, it's a great phone; just that with a larger screen size, you would expect a higher resolution.

        • PR0r on 19/05/2016 - 10:00

          @ronnknee:
          I remember when I owned the xiaomi mi3 which had nfc, none of the banking apps supported it's use. That was about 6 months ago, maybe things have changed. Would be interesting to hear from any mi5 owner about apps working or not.

        • ronnknee on 19/05/2016 - 10:05

          @PR0r: Were you replying to ebosh?

    • Diji1 on 18/05/2016 - 23:52

      There is no need for anything higher speaking as a Z Ultra owner with roughly same size screen, same res. You will get marginal improvement if any and this phone is not at all suitable for a HMD which is really the only reason to require a higher resolution IMO, not that more isn't nice if only for a placebo effect.

      • aussie28 on 19/05/2016 - 02:28

        I also have the Z Ultra, Is it worth upgrading to this?

    • superkieu on 19/05/2016 - 12:35

      "6.44" and still only 1920x1080."

      Ronnnknee, this is a non issue.
      I have 22" monitor and I can't see any pixel.
      I had a 720P phone and I could not see any pixel.
      anything more than 1080P is just wasting battery juice.

      Hell, even 1080p is overkill.

      I would rather Xiaomi not worry about upping the screen resolution and focus more on other aspects of the phone.

      This is fine. Basically means there isn't a "global" rom available for the phone yet. The global rom (software variant) has multiple languages. You'll get a genuine xiaomi phone from china that hasn't had any modifications. Personally this is what I go for, once a global rom is released you'll be able to install it if you want.

          You can check here:

      That was quick. Where did you buy it from?
      Like it so far?

      What phone did you upgrade from? Any chance of a photo or side by side? :D

        From eglobal when the deal was posted. It's really nice not any bloatware, sealed package.c I'm using a gold note 5 dual sim so not really an upgrade. Just wanted to have a play with a larger phone.
        I couldn't do a side by side still at work but here's with a bottle of water

    Decided to pull the trigger .. but now nobody on aliexpress has grey in stock. Hope it comes back in stock soon.

      Nice eug.. I am tempted to also pull the trigger and just pay a little more with eglobal.

    Just an update, found 5 malware. Kind of regretting getting a China phone

      Really? Wasn't it sealed as per your comment above ^ ?

      • ajh on 25/05/2016 - 22:38

        Yep but after finally installing google play and an anti-malware programme it found 5 pieces of malware. I've downloaded an official rom from the miui site and will see how that goes. A great product just really sucks having to do all this just to make it work properly.

          What malware did it find? What program did you use? Is it really malware that it found?
