Great screen and amazing audio quality over 3.5mm jack. That's all I really wanted to know.
namla, 25 Aug 2018Side bezzels too much...Honor Note 10 has the same. I'm not sure smaller side bezels would be any good on a device of that size. You'd touch the screen accidentally a lot.
Plus remember that you have one BIG piece of glass on the front. The bigger the screen the easier it's to crack it by dropping or even a side bump. It's simple physics. You need solid bezels to disperse the shock effectively.
Walter C. Dornez, 25 Aug 2018Why did they not mention the Honor Note 10? It's a direct competitor!I though the same thing, because the Honor Note 10 is similar in screen size & battery.
cheapsk8, 25 Aug 2018I wouldn't put too much stock on the reported battery life numbers. Apparently with MIUI it's ... moreHmmm. Interesting to know your PoV.
Nicolas F, 25 Aug 2018I think it's just because of more pixels in display =)Well, it's only a slight bump from 1080 X 1920 to 1080 x 2160. No jump to QHD or the like.
For instance, the S8 Active has 1440 X 2960 display and only 4000 mAh, but manages a very similar endurance rating. https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s8_active-8676.php
Plus battery was increased in the Max 3 too, hence I hoped so.

Apparently with MIUI it's a crapshoot which version you're on - one could be just fine, the next could drain your battery like crazy.
Walter C. Dornez, 25 Aug 2018Why did they not mention the Honor Note 10? It's a direct competitor!It's not so direct, because Honor Note 10 is both more powerful and expensive)

Zoxim, 25 Aug 2018Mi Max 2 has 32sec shutter speed, manual focus in manual mode. Shame mi max 3 got rid of it."32sec" ? Didn't understood, could you please explain?)
Walter C. Dornez, 25 Aug 2018Why did they not mention the Honor Note 10? It's a direct competitor!This. I'm on a Mi Max 1, got a Redmi Note 5 for my brother and used it for a week... that's not the same category at all, I can barely use something so tiny.
For people who want a Max's ample size, the only real alternative is the Honor Note 10.
AnonD-632062, 25 Aug 2018Great smartphone. Awesome battery endurance, although I must say I expected something around 1... moreI guess part of it is from the MIUI, let's hope MIUI 10 can bring the endurance rating to >120 hour.
"In that case, a budget of around EUR 300 can definitely be better spent."
Are you referring to the recently launched Pocophone F1 which has the best gaming performance on a smartphone?
Senju, 25 Aug 2018Why there is no review for Asus Zenfone 5Z which is launched months before Mi Max3???They have different reviewing priority for different brands. ASUS sits somewhere down below on that list. My friend has that phone & i can tell you it is wonderful. Probably one of the best phones you can buy in that budget along with the OP6 & the Honor Play (I personally don't like the Pocophone, so i wouldn't recommend that one).
Nice to see some larger than usual display on a phone. Believe it or not, there's always a demand for something unusual. Just like there's a demand for compact phones, there's also a demand for over-sized phones in budget category. This phone would probably wear the crown for offering the best on that criteria. More variety is always a welcome sight!
Hmm... I wonder wwhat would happen if something that has a 6.8inch 16:9 would suddenly go 18:9... ^^;
Great smartphone. Awesome battery endurance, although I must say I expected something around 130 hours endurance. Well, I guess the battery efficiency of the SD 625 in the Max 2 is legendary and cannot be easily replicated.
Good camera. I like the pro mode offers ISO and shutter speed, unlike in most other mid-range phones.
