Available in a gorgeous shade of matte black, Mi Max 2 now features a unibody metal design, that is just 7.6mm at its thinnest point, with rounded edges for better hand-feel, and a rear fingerprint sensor.

Mi Max 2 is powered by a massive 5300mAh two-day battery, which provides up to 18 hours of video playback, 57 hours of talktime, or over 31 days on standby. The huge battery means that Mi Max 2 can even charge other smartphones connected to its USB Type-C port. Despite the large capacity, Mi Max 2 is able to charge 68 percent in one hour as it supports Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 with parallel charging, which allows fast charging while controlling temperature increase.

In addition, Mi Max 2 features a 12MP Sony IMX386 1.25-micron large-pixel camera sensor for better photos. At the front, is a 5MP front camera, with Beautify mode for great selfies.
