Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Advantages: Functional smartphone with the size of "tablets". Build quality, functionality, ergonomics, impressive view, screen, battery (!), Memory, RAM, resolution and video quality (!), Stereo speakers (!), Communication quality, communication sound, Wi-Fi and access point at a height, an abundance of accessories in stock, - all this and another bunch of chips at an elegantly low price.

Disadvantages: They are not for me, as I found exactly what I was looking for: full compliance with the official reviews.

Comment: My first product from Chinese engineers after parting with Samsung. I read, I saw enough of official reviews, picked up and bought without hesitation. In the hand (not the biggest) lies like a glove. The transition to Xiaomi Mi Note3, purchased later for other purposes and back completely imperceptible. Beautiful picture on the screen, juicy, powerful stereo sound of the speakers, excellent video, good photo for the phone, excellent connection, Wi-Fi, excellent work as an access point, a lot of necessary chips - not intrusive and disconnectable. The phone is not clogged with a different stuff that can not be turned off. The battery is not killed, quickly and for a long time charged, as in my MacBook Pro (by the way, it is the same for power). Mac is a great friend of the smartphone. File transfer for android is set up quietly, and they work in pairs.
Frankly speaking, I did not throw it on the tile, did not drown it in the ocean (but took it with me), but I think that in a branded plastic case it will not fall apart when it falls. And in a thin silicone it looks very elegant. In general, an adult functional apparatus for a real man and a respectable, business woman for a ridiculous price. I advise you to purchase. Successful purchases on J.Market.

Advantages: Screen size, ergonomics, feeling in the palm of your hand.Built-in split screen mode, sometimes controversial, but full-featured MiUi shell. Unlocking fingerprint in a very convenient place in my opinion.

Disadvantages: The camera is far from top. The screen is also - after parallel use of samsung galaxy note 3 I can say that the depth of colors, image clarity and smoothness of the image are worse. Compared to models that cost 4-5 times more, so this is a ridiculous drawback of course.

Comment: I used it for six months, updating the information: this is still a dream phone. The screen is worse than the actual top models, and you have to bear in mind that on such a huge screen you have to sacrifice something. Objectively, the picture quality is very good,
I did not hang / crash once in half a year, I only began to slow down when I started opening a dock file with 50 pages with pictures with 10 applications running.
I really hope that this phone will stay with me for 4 years.

I look at the price now and I understand that it is criminal not to have such a phone. There are probably 2 normal reasons not to take it: dislike for large sizes and high demands on the quality and smoothness of the screen.

Advantages: Huge spectacular screen. Fast. Absolutely laconic appearance. Interesting "features" from Xiaomi. Not dealt with all, but there are useful or just entertaining. Record from the screen! And it works very well. Connection quality. Convenient to work. It is convenient to work in all programs that are needed. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY! Battery. With a normal workload, and with watching a video on YouTube, when you go home by taxi (about 70 minutes a day), the phone keeps full THREE DAYS.

Disadvantages: Big. I had QUMO QUES 600 about four years ago. And then, it took several days to get used to it. Still, and due to the form factor and the hull-around body, it seems that the phone itself, for the first time, will slip out of its hands.

Comment: Main wrote above. I'll add about the battery. Speaking of three days and a normal workload, I mean the following:
For three days I watched a total of 240 minutes of video from YouTube (all via the mobile internet, not Wi-Fi).
During the working day, I constantly call someone and call me. A huge amount of time I spend on communication in FB and instagrams on work. Sending a bunch of pictures through sweat and watches. And in these first days I still installed all the necessary applications on the phone. As a result, with such a load, at the end of the third day, the phone still has 8% of the battery and the system writes that the remaining work time is 9 hours.
At the weekend the phone is immortal. They left the city for 4 days, the phone spent 27% of the battery charge.
I am very pleased with the purchase.

Advantages: + Large screen. It is a decent screen, IPS matrix for 1920, good color reproduction, contrast and clarity. The screen compared to SGS Note 3 is simply gigantic, but it is still convenient to use.
+ Autonomy. Tremendous autonomy, after the same SGS Note, discharged to zero in a day, then the battery holds a charge even with active use two or three days at least. With less active holds and more.
+ Design. Despite its large size and shoveling it looks beautiful, and it doesn’t cause inconvenience when used as a telephone.
+ - MIUI. The custom version of Androyd from Xiaomi is both convenient and quite pretty, but it is not friendly with some applications, considers itself smarter than the user, and loves to transfer data somewhere.
+ Performance level, heavy games did not run, but HD video plays with a bang, nothing slows down.
+ - Camera. Stars from the sky is not enough, but in principle, quite on the level. The color rendition is normal, noise and exceptions in daylight are unnoticeable. In low light everything is somewhat worse, but quite tolerable.

Disadvantages: - + Perhaps for someone, the screen and the sizes will be flaws, you cannot control this phone with one hand, and you can’t put it in your pants pocket or shirt.
- The case is not collapsible, the battery is not removable. You can certainly disassemble, but with the availability of skills.If the battery dies, this is a clear disadvantage.

Comment: Very, very good machine, until, at least, I do not like it.

Advantages: Very smart for Android 7.1, MIU 9 with pre-installed applications, support, iron-battery, processor, memory, materials - the case, very well assembled. Immediately found a 3D glass and silicone transparent case. I thank the others for the feedback about it, because I learned from other manufacturers!

Disadvantages: Not annoying lack of NFC as you can always order a contactless bank card that is even faster when making payments

Comment: Once again many thanks to the people for the feedback and best wishes.

Advantages: Bright screen, great camera, battery keeps quiet more than 2 days. Excellent powerful sound of the speakers. Communication is stable interlocutor perfectly audible. All functions work. A complete set from Microsoft for work. Everything in the phone is provided for working right out of the box. The keyboard is large very comfortable. You quickly get used to the large sizes of the phone and wonder how you used the small ones. The first time I took the phone that completely suits me on all issues.

Disadvantages: Not

Comment: I had a lot of phones in various price categories. This is the best. It turns out the price does not determine everything. Mi Maks 2 took it temporarily before the release of the LG V30. Now I realized that I found a gadget that suits me completely

Advantages: Screen size and quality
Assembly and appearance in general.
Battery.
Speed ​​performance
Price-quality ratio

Disadvantages: Coffee does not know how to cook. ;-)

Comment: Bought for 15,000 in black. the pipe is gorgeous. Assembly at the level (or higher) than the flagships of other famous manufacturers.
Phone out of the box - launched and enjoy. Everything is clear, everything is clear. MIUI is great.
A couple of days getting used to the size of the device. The main problem for me is thin and huge. Very afraid to drop. Got accustomed and now kicks.
Anyone who thinks about the question of taking it or not, I will say - take it. This animal will replace three devices at once - a phone, a tablet and a laptop.

Advantages: 1. Size: this is the advantage of this device. If you dislike “shovels” or your hands are small - I think that the device is not for you. Personally, the size of the device suits me. I can perform basic operations with one hand, incl. and typing. Keeping in hand while not particularly secure. Worn in the pocket of jeans uncomfortable - affects the gait
2. MIUI: a beautiful and convenient graphical shell. If it were not for her, it might have passed this apparatus. Now is MIUI9. There is a split screen. I do not like just the zhory operatives, but it is here with a margin
3. Sound: unexpectedly pleased. After Jiayu G4c, it is volumetric, even lively (thanks to the main dynamics). Speaking speaker, as I noticed, while playing music / video plays the role of the left speaker, and the main - right. Colloquially noticeably quieter and the response is different, but still, in general, the sound like. Nothing rattles, as some write, even with an excess of bass.
4. Cameras: again we recall the price of the device. Removes perfectly. During the day you can not worry about quality, the main thing is not to shake hands - there is no optical stabilization. Even at night shoots well, as for me. Increased pixel size makes itself felt. At twilight, everything is quite clearly visible even without a flash, its price of 15k more than justifies.
5. Battery and charging: this is also a virtue. For two days of active use of social networks via 3G and listening to music is always enough. With a less intensive mode (in general, 2-3 hours a day), the battery charge was stretched for 4, 4 days! Also left 19%. The original charger with fast charging function charges the phone in 2 hours! Where even faster. From the computer I charged it in 12 hours.
6. Display and touchscreen: good. Touch responds to a light touch, not tupit. Curved around the edges. The display is also good, the colors are bright and juicy, there are no extraneous shades, it does not yellow and so on.Pixels can not be considered. With a strong left-right rotation, the chromaticity (gray) is slightly distorted, but not critical.
7. Communication.

Disadvantages: I was satisfied with everything, except for one trifle: I would like a multi-color LED indicator, not one white. In comparison with the additional caller Nokia 7900, Mi Max 2 looks boring in this regard. This is so, niggle.

The rest should be aware that there is no NFC and LTE 20th band. Everywhere it is written in capital letters, but at the same time people continue to take in the hope, and then whine and whine in reviews that it would be better not to take, etc. etc. Now he is already 14-14.5k from China, it is very cheap for a device of this level.

Comment: Let's look soberly at this unit, first of all putting the “PRICE-QUALITY-PERFORMANCE” ratio to the foreground. As for me, it is here at a record level. At first I thought not to take, after reading reviews about how unsuccessful the device turned out. First of all, everyone whines because of the processor - what's wrong with it? Snapdragon 625 is quite powerful and energy efficient. The 660s would be a bit more expensive. For all tasks, with the exception of heavy games, 625go is enough with a margin. The screen for its price is excellent. On the camera, too, should not swear. The link keeps excellent, recently held in the hands of the Xperia Z (C6603) - holds the link as well. Compared with Mediatek at times better. I recommend to buy. Worth the money. I use 2 weeks.
Feedback on the merits had to be cut by almost half, because 2000 character limit
